Loved talking about my MSc on #steentjie superdads for @BioSciUCT #researchday 🐠 And won first prize 😊! Seeing so many awesome presentations reminded me of how important #sciencecommunication is. Thank you @2OceansAquarium for the 2 tickets 🙌🏻

Now that steentjie nests have been found I’ll be posting regularly with cool footage that comes through 🐟

Really grateful to attend the first day of @5Samls in the eastern cape today. One thing i'd definitely reckon everyone check out whether you're a fish fanatic or not is this video celebrating South Africa's 20 new Marine Protected areas! youtu.be/LI7Xx21ESoY via @YouTube
The results of a #5MinuteBeachClean near #LaChocolatera in #Ecuador. This whole beach is a site for nesting turtles.. I also met other locals doing the same! If we all spent 5 minutes doing this we’d have cleaner beaches in no time! #PlayasLimpias #2minutebeachclean #cleanbeaches – at Santa Elena, Ecuador
On board the mighty Snapper (the 🚤 ) again to sample #microplastics with @ThamesManta and @river_living . Here’s Tanya working her way through a 1mm sieve on the #Thames. #cleanerthames
Here's a short film i made for the @ThamesManta #citizenscience project.
Get your hands wet and volunteer! It's a great opportunity to try #microplastic sampling for yourself and understand what's in our rivers.

#climatechange is real. We can definely turn this around but we need to TALK about it and fulfill our individual responsibility to ACT. Actions speak louder than words ✊let’s start bringing it up during meals, talk about it with friends, come up with challenges, ideas etc...
The worst form of denial is not the claim that #climatebreakdown isn’t happening. It is the failure to talk about it at all. This week's column calls on us to get embarrassing, and break the silence: theguardian.com/commentisfre…
Marche du week-end avec la famille et avec une petite ramasse de plastique sur notre chemin bien sur! It’s supereasy to pick up one waste item when you walk. @1walk1waste alternative #beachclean 🍁🗑🥤

Et rebelotte! Encore 4 jours de #2minutebeachclean et cette fois avec le cousin! Petit rappel: les mégots c’est du plastique donc à la poubelle pas sur la plage! @1walk1waste #microplastics #plasticwaste #holdontoyourbutts
Deux jours de #2minutebeachclean (2 minutes de nettoyage) sur une plage de la faviere. Plein de mégots!!
@bormestourisme : ça serait intéressant de faire un ramassage de débris collectif un matin pour voir ce qu’on trouve? Je peux aider à l’organiser si vous êtes intéressé!!
On est les champions!! 🇫🇷🏆 teapaw.org/equipedefrance/status/…

Here’s a short 60sec video I made on #microplastics for the #PresenterSearch2018 🎬 youtu.be/2O45K_RlpBQ condensing information into 1min was a really fun #scicomm challenge!
