Science Communication

I consider science communication and public engagement to be a really important part of any scientist’s career. Thus, I’ve tried to do a substantial amount of it.

Media

Scientific or Intergovernmental Conferences

Public Speaking and Outreach

Blogs, Articles and Books

It has been four days since we set sail here in the Solomon Islands, but on every one of those days, we have been reminded how beautiful this planet is. Our view walking between villages yesterday. •••••••••••••••••• #thesolomonexercises #thecurrent2 #tba21academy #thesolomonislands #island #islandlife #tropical #jungle #forest #coconuttrees #coconuts #epiphyte

Caribbean Beat has always been a big part of my life. My mum was an air hostess with BWIA for 30 years, so we always had a copy or two floating around the house. When we need pictures for school projects, we cut them from the pages, and once I was older and could appreciate the writing, it became my favourite inflight magazine. Now I am honoured to have been featured in those very pages. Thank you @mep_publishers for showcasing science and the deep ocean, as well as sharing me with the rest of the Caribbean. •••••••••••••••••• #deepsea #deepseaexploration #marinebiologist #ocean #deepseabiologist #marinescience #conservation #science #scicomm #exploration #research #Trinidad #TrinidadandTobago #Caribbean #CaribbeanBeat #humanimpacts #ECR #mcsa #nhm #naturalhistorymuseum #london #england #uk #specimens #nhmdeepsea #sea

You may think that working in the deep sea means that we only encounter pristine environments, but unfortunately that just isn’t true. During our exploration of the Mariana Trench in 2016, we saw multiple pieces of trash, from a coffee can and SPAM tin, to a piece of rope and several plastic bags. All of this sat side by side with new species of fish, corals, and other life, and never-before-seen habitats. Even there, in one of the deepest places on Earth, humans have left their mark. On Wednesday at 20:00GMT, catch this imagery (and much more), as well as yours truly, discussing our trashing of the deep at the Natural History Museum, London, on the 2nd episode of Blue Planet Live on BBC1. Excited! ••••••••••••••••••• #bbc #bbcone #blueplanetlive #blueplanet #deepsea #deepseaexploration #marinebiologist #ocean #deepseabiologist #marinescience #conservation #science #scicomm #exploration #research #humanimpacts #trash #litter #nhm #naturalhistorymuseum #london #uk #specimens #nhmdeepsea #tv #filming #conservation #TrinidadandTobago #MarianaTrench

Last night was the opening of ‘Sisterhood’, an exhibition by the extremely talented, magnanimous, awesome, kickass @daniellesalloum. To steal from her beautiful introduction, “This exhibition highlights our many diverse extraordinary women of Trinidad and Tobago who are speaking but not necessarily being heard loud enough…. It features accomplishments and advancements, through individuals and movements reshaping our present for the future.” I am so utterly honoured to be amongst these 30-ish outstanding Trinbagonian women, from the first female President, environmental activists, and human rights champions, to sportswomen, artists, teachers, survivors and more. A reminder that women are the unsung changemakers! ‘Sisterhood’ runs until March 31st 2019 at the Art Society of Trinidad and Tobago @artsocietytt. Not to be missed! ••••••••••••••••••• #sisterhood #art #photography #exhibition #killingit #TrinidadandTobago #sciart #inspiringwomen #women #womensupportwomen #womeninscience #deepsea #deepseaexploration #marinebiologist #ocean #deepseabiologist #marinescience #conservation #science #scicomm #exploration #research #ECR #MCSA

#Repost @noaaoceanexploration ・・・ Yep, myself and Professor Chuck Messing talking about pooping sea cucumbers that sometimes go by the name headless chicken monster! Seen during the Gulf of Mexico 2017 expedition on NOAA Ship Okeanos Explorer, which we were Science Leads on, at a depth of ~2,075 meters (1.3 miles), this sea cucumber, Enypniastes eximia, spends most of its time on the seafloor, feeding on surface sediments; it can, however, swim if it wants to get somewhere more quickly or evade a predator. Common names for these holothurians include Spanish dancer and (yes, really) headless chicken monster! . . . #ocean #explore #NOAA #OkeanosExplorer #seacucumber #headlesschickenmonter #purple #notavegetable #GulfofMexico #swimmer #deepsea #deepseacreatures #deepsealife #sea #deepseaexploration #ECR #deepseabiologist #research #conservation #marinebiologist #marinescience #exploration #science #scicomm

It has been an intense week of negotiations here at 25th Council Session of the International Seabed Authority. On the table have been the draft exploitation regulations for all mineral resources on the seabed in international waters. The discussions & decisions that are currently happening there are incredibly important and will likely affect our oceans for centuries to come. I was so proud to be able to represent the Deep Ocean Stewardship Initiative in an awesome team of scientific and policy experts. Really looking forward to the next session in July. And now I can’t wait to let my hair down at Carnival over the next few days 😀🌊 📷 2 and 3 by ‪@IISDRS‬ Diego Noguera http://enb.iisd.org/oceans/isa/2019-1/ ••••••••••••••••••• #ISA #InternationalSeabedAuthority #deepseamining #mining #Jamaica #Kingston #ECR #developingcountry #marinebiologist #ocean #deepseabiologist #marinescience #stewardship #science #scicomm #bbnj #dosi #abnj #research #mariecuriefellows #bbnj #trinidadandtobago #exploration #DOSI #Carnival #carnival2k19 #workhardplayhard
