Check out some of the key messages in this short article for @AMIposts 👇
As new stretches of coastline become vulnerable to Vibrio outbreaks in a warming aquatic environment, AMI member Elizabeth Archer reveals how human health is inextricably linked with ocean health. the-microbiologist.com/opini… @ejarcher25 #OceanHealth

Don’t miss out! Our special issue on Marine Biotechnology in #TheMicrobiologist is soon coming to a close but there’s still time to check out our amazing content, with some fantastic late additions. #LifeBelowWater

#AMR is putting lives at risk, making common infections harder to treat. Misuse & overuse of antimicrobials are major drivers of the crisis.
Awareness of AMR threat is crucial for behaviour change. Education, advocacy & action are key.
We cannot afford the cost of inaction!

Spent Tuesday w/ @RebekahBoreham chatting to Yr11 students at Harwich & Dovercourt High School about all things #STEM🔬🌿🧬🐟
Dr Penny Beckerson also gave an interactive workshop on scientific careers (7 times!)
Hopefully we have inspired 1 or 2 future scientists among them ✨

Brilliant @EssexLifeSci research away day. Particularly proud of my postdoc @DubucAlexia for giving an outstanding talk on the effects of #hypoxia on fish across different systems 🐟 Next stop the #Baltic! Grateful to our collaborator @haase_st for sending our first #cod samples!

Fantastic to see @EssexLifeSci at the @BritishSciFest with #OceanTravellers today.
They explore the journeys from the micro-world of plankton to giant humpback whales and uncover how humans and climate change are devastating marine ecosystems.

#OceanTravellers is back with awesome new activities "Life's a Beach" & "The Wheel of Misfortune" to highlight the perils fish face in their 1st year and how we can help by cleaning up our rivers & coasts! Come have a spin at the British Science Festival #BSF24 West Building UEL!

Today is #WorldSuicidePreventionDay - please spend two minutes watching this incredible video from @NorwichCityFC to help spread the message that #YouAreNotAlone
Proud to be an #EssexGraduate 👩🏻🎓 - had a fantastic time studying BSc Marine Biology 🐟🐙🤿 a few years ago & I've since returned to work as a #postdoc here 🦠👩🏻🔬
Our School has been topping rankings!
The Mail University Guide put us in 1st for Biology, 1st for Genetics, and 2nd for Biosciences, while The Guardian ranked us 7th in Biology, and 7th for anatomy and physiology.

The Royal Society David Attenborough Award and Lecture is awarded to Professor Hannah Fry for her prolific science communication activity as the foremost populariser of maths in the country who continues to inspire young people to pursue maths and physics in fun and exciting ways. #RSMedals royalsociety.org/medals-and-…
Very grateful for the opportunity to present our @EssexLifeSci work on airborne #AMR 💊🧫🏥 at #EAC24 in Tampere, Finland 🇫🇮
Excited to be co-chairing the next session on health-relevant aerosols!
Thanks to the @AerosolSociety for supporting my attendance!
@rmwferguson – at Tampere, Finland

New and first PhD paper from @chen_zelin - we looked at hydrocarbons, metals and food webs at gradients of increasing distance from many #Oil rig infrastructures in the North Sea - you can take home two messages i. Closer to rigs and wells there is high pollution /1
North Sea fossil fuel can cause pollution to spike 10k%
Researchers from @EssexLifeSci , @NHM_London and @CefasGovUK also found species fell by 30% near platforms.
@DrNatalieHicks 🔉 "These platforms are leaving a potentially concerning legacy."

Big thanks to @Triedzi & team for running a fantastic 'Working with bacterial genomes' course @Cambridge_Uni this week 👩🏻💻🧫🧬
Great mix of practicals, theory & guest lectures 🦠
Really excited to start using my new bioinformatics know-how in my current & future research! 💡

Trying to drum up public participation - particularly from families and children from anywhere - in monitoring broods during the School holidays - pls share widely and also on Facebook too 🦆🦆🦆
Can you solve the disappearing duck mystery?
Families, schoolchildren and bird lovers can help Essex scientists discover why our Mallards are declining.
Keep your eyes peeled during the holidays and find out how to get involved here: essex.ac.uk/news/2024/07/24/…

This reaccreditation allows our biomedical science students at the University of Essex to get jobs in NHS laboratories & play a vital role in the diagnosis of disease. Our degrees open up many other career opportunities, such as research, teaching and transition to medical school
Biomedical Science students can kick-start their careers with degrees accredited by @IBMScience.
@EssexLifeSci students will be able to impress employers with the accreditation from the industry’s top body and head straight into jobs.
