Very happy to share I passed my PhD viva with no corrections on climate vulnerability in freshwater pearl mussels 🎉🎉 Thanks to my supervisors @molluscular.bsky.social @lancasterlt.bsky.social & Vicky Pritchard and examiners @fishyomics.bsky.social @gretabocedi.bsky.social for an engaging discussion!

Submitted my PhD. Absolutely stoked. Thank you to everyone who supported me and to those I met along the way. It’s been a journey. And thanks, of course, to these gremlins. Time to crack on with the remaining manuscripts. Bring on the viva!
