Plankton Day at Ullapool Harbour. A joint #Ulluminate & #LuggerFest event, netting the sea at the harbour & checking what's living there under the microscope.
Found some Phytoplankton & Zooplankton. Thanks to Laura for helping out.

We'll be at Ullapool Harbour this afternoon trying to net and examine plankton under our microscopes as part of #Ulluminate and #LuggerFest24 .

There's also sailing, the luggers themselves and plenty going on in the village. So far, weather ok...

There is no bigger Conservative Stooge, no bigger spreader of disinformation, that is laughably unbelievable, than Laura Kuenssberg.

Hit the RT if you agree.

Of the many pleasures afforded by last night's disastrous results for the Tories, Laura Kuenssberg's many wonderful expressions as she announced the crushing defeats of her paymasters are surely a highlight.

This is a side-view of the hyperiid amphipod Phronima that highlights its impressive claws and the fact that it has two pairs of eyes. It also shows its pigmentation, which is interesting because the animal goes between clear and quite brown for reasons I don't understand.

There's alot of competition, but is Richard Madeley the dimmest, dullest, spewer of bile on UK TV?

Yes, the whole Royal Family are animal lovers,
Here is Queen Elizabeth & Prince Philip looking after a sick tiger.

The #StGeorgesDay 'honours' are embarrassing.

'Honours' for the wife, son & daughter-in-law of the 'king'?

An 'honour' to #FakeyKatie for 'outstanding achievement in art'?

Stop this archaic nonsense!

What's wrong with high seas plastic cleanup?

In our new paper, we discovered a HUGE issue at the heart of these efforts. And ignoring it is a dangerous risk... [a thread 🧵]
