The UK's Research Excellence Framework (REF) collects research outputs from UK universities and is used by the the country's government to distribute around £2 billion in research funding. But its focus on publications to measure outputs has drawn criticism. The Hidden REF, set up in 2020, looks at alternative measures. Simon Hettrick, its chair and director of the Software Susaintability Institute at the University of Southampton, UK, explains what can be submitted, and why publications are excluded. Gemma Derrick, a former member of the Hidden REF advisory committee who studies research policy and culture at the University of Bristol, UK, talks about its “hidden roles” category, and why some entries moved judges to tears. Kevin Atkins, who has worked as a site engineer at the University of Plymouth's Marine Biological Association for 32 years, was highly commended in the category. He describes a typical day, and how his work contributes to the wider research enterprise.Another highly commended entry was Growing up on the Streets, an international co-produced research project led by the University of Dundee, which focuses on around 200 young people aged 14 to 20 across three African cities: Accra, Bukavu and Harare. Lorraine van Blerk, a human geography researcher at the university, explains how six young people in each city were recruited as researchers, and how their roles were recognised and celebrated.

The message in a bottle had been lost for more than a century, bobbing along the waves before Marianne Winkler stumbled across it as she was strolling along the beach while on holiday. At first she didn't realise how old it was and followed the instructions written on the message to break the bottle. Inside she found a postcard written in English, German and Dutch with information to fill in about where the bottle was found and when along with the offer of a shilling reward if the postcard was returned to the Marine Biological Association in Plymouth.瓶子里的信息已经丢失了一个多世纪，在玛丽安·温克勒（Marianne Winkler）度假时沿着海滩漫步时偶然发现了它，并沿着海浪漂浮。 起初她并没有意识到它有多大，并按照信息上写的说明打破了瓶子。 她在里面发现了一张用英语、德语和荷兰语写的明信片，上面写着瓶子的发现地点和时间，如果将明信片归还给普利茅斯的海洋生物协会，她将获得先令奖励。Mrs Winkler dutifully sent the postcard back, much to the excitement of the scientists in Plymouth where the research institute still exists today. They worked out that the bottle had probably been thrown into the sea in 1906 as part of an experiment into deep-sea currents.温克勒夫人尽职尽责地将明信片寄回，这让普利茅斯的科学家们非常兴奋，该研究所至今仍然存在。 他们得出结论，这个瓶子可能是 1906 年作为深海洋流实验的一部分被扔进海里的。The scientists were thrilled and duly stuck to the century-old promise about a reward, went on eBay and sent Mrs Winkler an old shilling.科学家们非常兴奋，并恪守了一个世纪以来关于奖励的承诺，在 eBay 上给温克勒夫人寄了一个旧先令。

Talking to Fiona Crouch from Natural England she talks about her life of working in Marine Conservation from New Zealand to Plymouth. She also discusses the projects of reseeding the SeaGrass beds around the UK which sheads light onto compliments our Expedition Wester Ecology Tour coming up in June.

In this new episode, David Sims is joining me to talk about some of his research. David is a marine ecologist based at the Marine Biological Association in Plymouth. His research focuses on movement ecology and conservation of marine top predators, specifically sharks, skates and rays. His research focuses on the behavioural ecology of pelagic shark movements and spatial distributions, the environmental constraints, and the consequences of anthropogenic impacts. David is part of the Global Shark Movement project, a movement about movement... with more than 150 sharks biologists from 26 countries and regrouping more than 100 institutions, David and colleagues all around the world study the movement of sharks across the globe in order to assess the spatial overlap between the distribution of sharks with areas of high anthropogenic pressures (e.g. fisheries, shipping routes). In this episode, David tells us about two major threats shark populations are facing globally: fisheries & climate change, and how these two might act in synergy, increasing the pressure on shark populations already greatly reduced and endangered. David also tells us about local sharks found in Plymouth, some of his memories diving in Plymouth sound with incredible creatures, and the early findings he made on basking sharks, back in the days where almost nothing was known about this species. If you're interested in sharks, want to know more about them, their biology and movement, the way they are being affected by fisheries and how climate change will exacerbate this, or want to listen to the great discoveries David has made on basking sharks... there's something for you to bite! Hope you enjoy listening to this!!

My new guest speaker is Dan Smale. Dan is a researcher based at the Marine Biological Association, in Plymouth. He is a marine ecologist with broad research interests and a particular focus on understanding how global environmental change is influencing the structure and functioning of coastal marine ecosystems, especially kelp forests. His journey started in Plymouth where he studied his undergraduate degree in marine biology, before doing his postgrad degrees in Antartica & Western Australia. He is now back to Plymouth and leads the Smale Group at the MBA. In this episode, we'll be talking about kelp forests... what they are, where you find them, why they are important, how climate change is impacting these systems, what their role is regarding "blue carbon" etc. ... Dan also talks about his journey and gives advice for future marine scientists! Whether you're already a fan of kelp, or just want to know more about these systems, or want to get an insight into the life of a marine ecologist, here's an episode for you! Thanks for listening!

My new guest speaker is Nadia Frontier. Nadia was a student in Plymouth, and graduated from Marine Biology & Coastal Ecology in 2019. She is now working as the Marine Biologist at the Rothera Research Station in Antarctica, with the British Antarctic Survey. I met Nadia during my degree, and she has been a real source of inspiration to me since then. She is really motivated and so enthusiastic about everything, and I hope you will get some inspiration from listening to her in this episode. Nadia talks about her career path, from being a student at the University of Plymouth to working at the Marine Biological Association, to being diving in Antarctica to conduct research with the British Antarctic Survey. She also talks about the importance of volunteering and getting experience while doing a degree, what she thinks about the course content and lecturers... and as always, we talk a bit about diving in Plymouth! Whether you're thinking of studying marine biology, pursuing a career in marine research, dreaming of going to Antarctica or just want a good dose of inspiration... here's an episode for you! Thanks for listening! ❄️

Trai Anfield visits a wintry Bovisand Bay in South Devon in the company of Keith Hiscock, Associate Fellow of the Marine Biological Association. They rummage amongst the storm strewn seaweed making up the strand line at the top of the beach. It is here that insects and crustaceans flourish in the food rich and clement micro world, in turn drawing in birds like wagtails and turn stones. Down in the inter-tidal zone, along with finding a host of marine molluscs are the excitingly named volcano barnacles and beautifully coloured beadlet anenomies. Produced by Sarah Pitt. First broadcast on Sunday 8 February, 2015.

Dr Adam Rutherford uncovers the worrying number of false positive results that the DNA sequencing technologies used by 'direct to consumer' genetic test kits are producing. Many of these tests offer analysis on your ancestry, but some also offer to check you out for the likelihood of you being at risk of some genetic diseases like cystic fibrosis or certain types of breast cancer. The tests look for variants in your genome, little changes in your DNA that alter the risk of developing a number of genetic diseases. The trouble is the rarer the variant, the more likely it is to be disease-causing. But the rarer the variant, the more likely the simple genetic tests are to get it wrong. And with more and more people sending off their raw genetic data to third-party websites for analysis and annotation, the risk of a false positive result increases to up to 80%. It's a small number of people affected, but a serious one if you're told out of the blue that you are at extreme risk of a serious disease. The advice is to keep an eye on family disease traits and if you are worried, go and see your doctor and get a proper diagnostic test. Deep sea pelagic sharks, like the great white, silky, tiger, porbeagle and blue are much more vulnerable than their scary reputation suggests. In fact, many shark species are in decline as a result of industrial fishing rapidly encroaching upon their territories, and an increased value of the sharks themselves. The oceans are big and sharks range far and wide, so understanding these movements is not easy. Professor David Sims, from the Marine Biological Association of the UK and the National Oceanography Centre in Southampton, is part of a huge international consortium of marine biologists who have been tracking 11 species of shark all over the high seas using satellite technology. We’ve been fishing for more than 40,000 years, but our exploitation of the seas got serious in the last 50 years. In nature, sex can be quite fluid, and in some species, sex changes are just a normal part of every day life. Especially in fish. This type of behaviour is called sequential hermaphroditism, and is common in fish. It's been known about for years, but the underlying genetic mechanisms are mysterious, which is strange for such a radical transformation. In the Blueheaded wrasse, when a dominant male is lost from the shoal, the largest female will immediately begin transforming into a male. Neil Gemmell from the University of Otago in New Zealand has lead a study which for the first time has uncovered the genetics of how the sex change happens. Producer: Fiona Roberts

Ep20 of 24: Marine Conservation Zones are in the spotlight this week, as Saving Species looks at the importance of protecting our marine life. In December it was revealed that only 31 of the 127 proposed Marine Conservation Zones (MCZs) have the chance of being implemented for the first tranche. Kelvin Boot is live in the studio with Brett Westwood, plus Trai Anfield is in Filey Brigg in North Yorkshire to visit a zone that didn't make the cut. There are also interviews with Matt Frost, the deputy director of the Marine Biological Association and the Environment Minister Richard Benyon. Presenter: Brett Westwood. Producer: Mary Colwell.
