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 👇

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

Catch it while you can, the Tang & Ware exhibition at Northlight Gallery, Stromness closes at 4pm on Wednesday 23 August. A legacy of the exhibition is Rebecca's new website that looks at Orkney’s social history of seaweed. https://t.co/ZFLRzi6b2U

Science #Barbie is still with us! Today she's looking at rocks under the microscope. This is a South African '4-pyroxene' gabbro, viewed with a sensitive tint plate. It is often sold under the name "Black Impala" for kitchen countertops. #BarbieTheMovie #ThinSectionThursday
