I’m obsessed with sea worms: ‘Thankfully, in 25 years of working with them, I’ve never been bitten’

Dr Ceri Lewis, associate professor in marine biology at Exeter University, explains her love of sea worms and how they could help to address the climate crisis.

A large part of Ceri’s research is trying to understand the impact that human activities have on worms and the important jobs worms do for healthy ecosystems. As part of the Convex Seascape Survey, she is looking at how worms influence carbon sequestration into sediments and whether protecting them could help the climate emergency.
