Massive congratulations to Benjamin Gustafson on best poster at the joint MASTS Scotland Marine Biogeochemistry Forum and Challenger Society for Marine Science AMBIO Meeting in Edinburgh last week.

Over the last couple months Ben has been taking a course from Visualise Your Science learning how to put together a poster using both how to use Adobe Illustrator and how to create effective graphics.

Ben’s OceanICU project funded PhD project focuses on pelagic calcifiers – foramnifera, coccolithophores, pteropods – and fish gut carbonates. His first chapter has been working on compiling a global estimate of pelagic calcifiers and their deep-sea export. Ben took a different approach to the classic poster design and it clearly paid off!
