The value of fieldwork and the personal experience should never be undervalued. For many of our PGR students this is their first venture into an active glacial environment and whether it is the biodiversity: we all experience it in person

@quadratdtp.bsky.social Cohort 5 are in Courmeyeur; a fantastic glacial landscape learning new skills and further developing as a team: glacial, hydro, soil and ecology skills all developing first hand

@uniofaberdeen.bsky.social School of Biological Sciences continue our close alliance with SDNU in Jinan. I with the Vice President Professor Li Na today about enhancing our links as SDNU looks towards celebrating its 75th anniversary.

An outstanding feature of our Science Teaching Hub was demonstrated today- 3 different classes making use of the same lab space through innovative technologies and it worked out perfectly. Seems all the students did the correct classes

A great pleasure to welcome Prof K K Rout, Dean of Agriculture at DRIEMS University to School of Biological Sciences, University of Aberdeen to discuss common aspects of curriculum and hear about exciting soil research spanning food security and climate change- great future opportunities

It’s been another great @quadratdtp.bsky.social Fieldtrip for Cohort 6: big thanks to all our colleagues at the lighthouse, friends in Cromarty and various admin teams: we have all learned new skills and a great deal about ourselves and others

It’s almost 30 yrs since I first brought MSc students to Cromarty to see work that Paul Thompson leads; then there was the CLSM College Graduate retreats and for the past few years it’s been QUADRAT-DTP: at the heart of these visits lies the tremendous work done by the school researchers based here

I've discovered 95 Bluesky users from my social network using the Sky Follower Bridge.✨ Check it out: share.sky-follower-bridge.dev?q=95 #skyfollowerbridge

@quadratdtp.bsky.social Cohort 6 of QUADRAT-DTP is in Cromarty this week learning core skills and field risk assessments: today the group splits into first aid and social media training: everybody enjoying the wonderful environs of Cromarty

It’s a delight to work with colleagues in delivering a new and novel practical class in our purpose built (£40 m) science teaching hub and to see such an engaging and positive response from the class- let’s keep giving STEM students what they deserve
