All smiles and a great way to end Botanical Field Skills module and the taught component of @UniofReading @ReadingBioSci #MScSISS with a drink in the sunshine at #ParkHouseBar! Good luck to all in your summer ecological consultancy placements!

It's that time of year again when @UniofReading @ReadingBioSci #MScSISS goes for the Guiness Book of Records for greatest number of #vegkeys (2nd edition!) in a single laboratory! @readingbotany @BSBIbotany

Autumnal strolls 🍁 can only mean one thing, autumnal fungi! 🍄

It's high time for @UniofReading @ReadingBioSci #MScSISS to go into the Herbarium with @BotanyRNG shouting out for their local county floras including Hants, Surrey, Suffolk, Middlesex, Mons, Norfolk, Essex, Devon, Dorset, Berks, Wilts, Derbyshire, Anglesey & Caernarfon and Kent!

Great field walk with @UniofReading @ReadingBioSci #MScSISS in the @GardenHarris consolidating plant family ID knowledge! @readingbotany

Crocheted a little badger for the species’ awareness day/month. Although the species is one of the most protected in the UK, they are still one of most persecuted 😢🦡 #nationalbadgerday

If you go down to the woods today... you'll be sure to see @UniofReading @ReadingBioSci #MScSISS students sampling lake water for #eDNA analysis on the brand spanking new module: Molecular Methods for Species ID and Survey! That's ecology training fit for the 21st Century!

Who knew this is not a single flower, but several tiny ray and disc florets?! A beautiful Sunflower from our botany practical #MScSiSS @UniofReading!! @drmgoeswild #asteraceae #capitulum #sunflower #ray #disc

Week 2: Another interesting botany practical today with Dr M, focusing on the characteristics of certain flowers within Rosaceae, Ranunculaceae, and Caryophyllaceae! 🌱🌼🌼 #MScSISS

A few photos I have taken from various walks around the New Forest 🌱🌸 Starting my MSc in SISS has got me appreciating Angiosperms - and its only week 2. Excited to see what is to come! ✨#MScSISS

Wonderful beyond words to be back teaching face-to-face again with my new #MScSISS class @UniofReading @ReadingBioSci and new 30 credit Botanical Field Skills module, lots of lovely floral dissections hence the appropriate Asteraceae faces! How can a flower be so small?!
