Job opportunity to join our Team @aMER_MarineRes at @PlymUni . We are looking for someone to support our Fish, Elasmobranch and crustacean tagging research, and our underwater video (ROV,BRUV,Pelagicam,Towed) #MPA monitoring work. hrservices.plymouth.ac.uk/tl…
Detection data revealed inter-annual site fidelity and multiple occurrences of pairs of sharks being detected within 24 hours of each other at consecutive arrays, suggesting some level of social coordination and synchronised movement.
Our new paper in Animal Biotelemetry shows acoustic telemetry's role in monitoring basking sharks, revealing cross-border connectivity, annual site fidelity, hotspots, and potential grouped movements @SEUPB @SeaMonitor1 @QUBelfast @EdinburghNapier shorturl.at/EvBCs

I cannot explain the life altering effect these drugs have had on me. We often forget the miracle of modern medicine, but for me and many others, drugs like Kaftrio are life savers. For users of these, I encourage you to engage with the @cftrust and give feedback to NICE.
Our Chief Executive, David Ramsden, shares his perspective following NICE's announcement on Friday.
You can submit your feedback to the NICE consultation today.

You can also read our updated FAQs on our website now.
➡️ ow.ly/PeJ650Q55ou
For non-CF people, I would encourage you to read up on these treatments and the profound, life altering impact they have had.
