The Orkney snorkel trail has launched, completing our snorkel trail network! 🤿 From sunken shipwrecks to shimmering seagrass, it's been a pleasure to create this in partnership with island communities and @StromnessMuseum 🧵1/4

Our corncrake specimen is very pleased to be on the big screen in #TheOutrun. In cinemas tomorrow. The film is an incredible film adaptation of Amy Liptrot's powerful memoir. It's not to be missed #orkney @StudiocanalUK #saoirseronan #amyliptrot #Papay #corncrake

What is the link between our museum and @bridgerton the #Netflix show? ....the Great Auk! Lord Debling says he's going to save the flightless bird, but alas, in real life, the last two breeding Great Auk in Britain were killed in Papay, Orkney in 1812 & 1813. @PapayRanger

It has been an honor to lead this research into #Orkney #kelp #bluecarbon with the good people @HeriotWattUni & @Bluemarinef Can't wait for our next trip 👇🌊🙌

Did you know that the Orkney is home to abundant kelp forests which are thought to help support carbon storage? Join our team of scientists in the field as we work to increase our understanding of kelps involvement in the ocean carbon cycle in our new film 👇…

Thank you for having us. The kids were brilliant.

Our Egilsay class started their museum exhibit creation this afternoon. What an amazing opportunity for the whole class to learn about the jobs that exist in the world of creativity and in our local museums @QuekettMicro @StromnessMuseum @MuseumsGalScot

Was lovely to see old pals and meet new folk last night at Scottish Parliament for community voices in marine policy reception. Rocking my @StromnessMuseum t-shirt!

Incredible biodiversity in my latest fine-net, autumn plankton sample. Tragically, however, there is now always microplastic pollution among the creatures that bring life to the sea and begin the marine food chain. @zeiss_micro
