We were out collecting sediment samples yesterday on a range of sites in the Eden Estuary. It was great to get some of our volunteers out helping, & we felt very popular as in the background Green Shores project lead was being filmed for a NatureScot case study *and* the University of St Andrews comms photographer was taking stills for stock photos.
Never has a field day been so professionally recorded!

I am looking forward to attending my first #BPSCOGDEV conference next week, in Bristol. I will present past work on two new #AttentionalSetShifting tasks (with Amanda Seed at the #UniversityofStAndrews) as well as ongoing work on #SequenceDiscriminationLearning in children (with Rachel Kendal, Robert Barton at #DurhamUniversity and Amanda Seed). Is anyone else here who is going?
