Student's Survival Guide to 'Literature Review' 📚 In our latest blog post, SAMS @thinkuhi undergrad student Ross Lupton gives us an insightful first-hand account of this compulsory 3rd year module which is designed to develop and hone student's research and evaluation skills.

Well done to all those who successfully completed their lit review in semester one and good luck to those in the midst of it now!

Read Ross's article for top tips and advice over on our student blog (link in bio).

Wait for the red! #NorthernLights at SAMS @thinkuh

Wait for the red! #NorthernLights at SAMS @thinkuhi : An incredible video of the #AuroraBorealis captured last night just down the road from SAMS by SAMS scientist Dr Alasdair O'Dell.

The video was shot from Connel looking over towards North Connel and Ben Lora, near Oban. Alasdair's video has of course gone viral today and has even been used by the BBC! Brilliant work Alasdair, thank you for sharing with us all.

Weird and wonderful in the #DeepSea #Lab • 4th y

Weird and wonderful in the #DeepSea #Lab • 4th year SAMS @ThinkUHI BSc marine science students gained hands-on experience this month during their 'Deep-Sea ecosystems' module.

Organisms from the SAMS biological specimen store were made available to the students to look at in closer detail under the microscope. They were tasked with spotting important features to help identify them and also inform about adaptations for living in the deep sea.

Learning to draw these features can also help with using identification keys. SAMS students are very lucky in being able to benefit from the many specimens stored here as well as the researchers' expertise of different environments and species.

Images supplied by 4th Year SAMS students.

Funded biofuel #PhD - deadline approaching! • Investigating the use of marine thraustochytrids for #biofuel production

Apply by February 28th, or find out more at sams.ac.uk/study.

This programme of study seeks to investigate multiple novel marine thraustochytrids to identify and exploit strains that can produce products of value in #biofuels development.

Marine Thraustochytrids are an ecologically important and diverse group of microbial protists that are saprophytes and occasionally parasites. They are also of significant interest to biotechnologists because some species produce large quantities of lipids, which can include the nutritionally important omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids.
