Thank you! And most importantly thank you to all those I have collaborated and worked with over the past five years, which collaborations really formed the core of this promotion. I am lucky to have such fantastic colleagues and partners in and beyond Strathclyde. 🐟🛶🏴‍☠️🌍

Set off 13 and a bit hours ago from Glasgow and now arrived in Penryn for my first ever Oceans Past Initiative conference starting tomorrow! 🌊 It’ll be the first time I’ve presented on my new project on colonial fisheries, which is still very early days… 🐟 🐠 🐡

Words fail me! Thanks to J NaAsh, the entire team for your hardwork & our collaborators 4 the support. We believe in inclusive research and hopeful that the findings will be useful for developing inclusive marine conservation policy in Ghana and West Africa… #Sankofa!

Such an excellent and eye-opening conference! Thank you for organising! Hope to be there again in a couple years time!
