We’ve wrapped our @marinebeacon.bsky.social Annual Meeting in Oostende — a milestone moment as the project moves from setup to impact. Catch up on the key developments, collaborations & next steps for reducing #bycatch in European #fisheries: tinyurl.com/8ewk789e @horizoneu.bsky.social

Had the opportunity to attend an event @bioagora.eu to explore how a cluster of projects on #bycatchreductuin could be beneficial in the science policy landscape. Great as always to enhance collaborations between @marinebeacon.bsky.social and @reduce-project and @cibbrina.bsky.social

Introduce yourself with your worst feedback from school; At a parents teacher meeting a teacher pretty much said 'well it's clear you aren't carrying this on to A-level so we don't need to worry about it too much'!

Introduce yourself with your worst feedback from school: “Lazy, disinterested and content to do only the minimum” From my PE teacher. I think she meant “uninterested” but other than that it’s all still true.
