Following the largest UK mass stranding since 1927, we all want to understand how whales end up stranded.
Strandings are usually caused by multiple factors and whilst it’s not yet confirmed what happened to these whales, scientists are taking samples to try and figure it out.
And research like Penny Clarke's could in the future help us better understand patterns in stranding events and inform experts when there is a high risk of one.

Algae and protozoa are often overlooked, but they have some amazing abilities:
👉 Marine algae produce most of the oxygen in our atmosphere
👉 Some algae could help us design greener industrial processes
👉 A type of tropical alga can reduce the methane emissions of cattle by 80% when added to their feed.
From their lab at SAMS Marine Science (Scotland), CCAP carries out research on these amazing organisms and supplies data and specimens to other scientists all over the world.

Researchers at The University of Bristol have taken inspiration from a snail’s slime to develop this water-powered climbing robot.
It can stick to and move across surfaces using just a single sucker like a snail, but without leaving a slimy trail.
This innovative, clean technology could revolutionise inspections and repairs in hard-to-reach places like wind turbines, hulls of ships or skyscrapers.

Researchers at Cambridge University and Cambridge University Hospitals NHS have grown ‘mini guts’ to better study Crohn’s disease.
In the future they could be used to figure out the best treatment for individual patients, making treatments more precise and personalised.
This incredible research means we are a step closer to changing the way we treat Crohn’s disease👏🏼

Whale scientist Penny has been using drones to study the feeding habits of humpback whales, for the @hungryhumpback project.
It means using a technique called photogrammetry - basically measuring the whales using aerial images and converting the numbers into mass and volume.
By monitoring how these change throughout the season, they can track the whales’ feeding patterns, important insights that can help promote the ongoing recovery of whale populations in South Georgia.

Known as ‘enhanced rock weathering’, this method of spreading crushed rock onto our agricultural fields absorbs and stores carbon from the atmosphere - whilst making the soil better for our crops. It's a win win.
If scaled up, it could be an effective way of helping us to boost our Co2 removal.

Meet Penny: a lover of marine mammals, Fred Again and David Attenborough.
She’s also a whale scientist at the British Antarctic Survey, using satellites to study whale strandings from space 🐋🔭🛰️
Her work’s got to be eye-wateringly accurate. If the placement of a part is off by a hundredth of a millimetre, the experiment might not work.
Thankfully, she is one of the best in the world at what she does.
A second vaccine developed by the University of Oxford has also just been approved, with similar effectiveness, and it’s cheaper so we can manufacture it at an even bigger scale.

In 1987, two researchers at the University of Leicester - Terry Burke, a Natural Environment Research Council Fellow, and Mike Bruford, tried out the new technology of DNA fingerprinting on a family of house sparrows. Their findings challenged some of our longstanding beliefs about birds and inspired many scientists to pay closer attention to female birds, often overlooked in favour of louder, more colourful males.
Decades later, this shift has given us a more complete and balanced understanding of bird behaviour. It's a great reminder that treating males as the archetype of a species - and projecting human ideas of morality onto animals - can get in the way of good science.

Since English naturalist Henry Walter Bates first wrote about the different colour forms of longwing - or Heliconius - butterflies in 1862, scientists have been fascinated by them.
As well as teaching us about how species evolve to mimic each other, the butterflies can be used to answer loads of interesting questions about natural selection and how new species evolve.
For example, are similar wing patterns in different species controlled by the same genes? What happens when lookalike species have offspring together? And what drove so many species of Heliconius to evolve? These questions can help us understand the natural world around us, as well as human evolution.
Our support has helped build a community of scientists who work together to study these questions. Together, they sequenced the first genome of a Heliconius butterfly in 2012 and made it freely available, which exploded the possibilities for studying the genetics behind their variations.
As the Head of Doctoral College at Queen Mary University of London, she’s now the person that she needed someone to be for her then and she works hard to make sure that postgraduate researchers know they’re not alone, that they feel part of a community. The three things she’d always tell a new postgraduate researcher is: “You are capable, you have talent and you belong.”
Bringing inclusivity to research is a big part of her work. With her team @QMUL, she introduced the STRIDE programme which supports students who are marginalised by race to see what a research career might look like so they can decide if it’s for them.
At the end of the day, there’s no single path to a career in research. “I started doing a PhD and found it wasn’t for me. And now I’m back in a university working with researchers, supporting the research community”.

Dr Jess Wade is on a mission to change this. In her day job, she's an Imperial College Research Fellow investigating new materials for electronic devices that will make them more efficient and sustainable. She's also a champion for diversity in science. In the last four years, she's written 1,800 wikipedia biographies for women and people from other underrepresented groups to tell the stories of their contributions to science.
These include extraordinary women in science such as Dr Gladys West, a mathematician who was instrumental to the creation of GPS, and Dr Hannah Ritchie, Head of Research at Our World in Data.

What does it look like when a community approaches a researcher to help them investigate a challenge they face, instead of the other way around? Seaweed Gardens wanted to explore how they could use the seaweed washed up on their beach to make fertiliser, so they could grow better food for their community kitchen. The project is a story of building resilience, and forging stronger community bonds.

Seaweed Gardens is a community collective of artists, community workers, designers and scientists, working with Green Shoots Community Garden and Oban Hope Kitchen in Oban. They support people with poor mental health and additional support needs, as well as vulnerable and marginalised people, providing food and a community growing hub. Their project explores the impacts of climate change in Oban and its surrounding area by learning about seaweed environments, which are vital carbon sinks in the local environment.

Sanne Visser, a material design PhD researcher, is working with local hairdressers to understand how hair can be gathered and recycled, and to develop systems to use that hair effectively.
Sanne is part of the 2021/22 Design Researchers in Residence programme at the Design Museum, exploring sustainability through the lens of design research.
There are 97 barbers and hairdressers within one mile of London's Design Museum. On average, each of these will cut off 2.4 kilograms of hair every month. Sanne’s residency is exploring human hair as both a waste stream and a material resource, and the way in which it can be practically gathered and used. She has produced a range of products made from human hair, including dog leads and belts.
