Blog posts & Popular SCIENCE ARTICLES
I wrote an article about my work in biologging science for the Journal of Animal Ecology blog ahead of their special issue on biologging. 29 August 2018.
Biologging: squiggly lines, new methods and big ideas
I wrote a News & Views piece for the journal Nature Ecology and Evolution on the paper Tucker et al. 2018 Science 359(6374), pp. 466-469 2 May 2018.
Animal Movement: Human footprint restricts ranges
MEE asked us to put together a photo blog about our Leos-Barajas et al. 2016 paper:
Soaring with Eagles, Swimming with Sharks: Measuring Animal Behaviour with Hidden Markov Models
Our paper on cookie-cutter sharks (Best & Photopoulou 2016. PLOS ONE) generated a lot of popular interest. It even made it into the Daily Mail among others!
New Scientist, Cape Argus (or if you have access to Press Reader),

MEE asked me to write a post about Photopoulou et al. 2015 for their blog:
Getting Every Last Bit Out of Dives: Data Abstraction On-board Telemetry Tags
MEE asked me to write a post for the Methods blog for International Women's Day 2017 about a topic of my choice. I wrote about movement ecology:
