Today's first talk for 'Fascination of Plants Day' @OfficialUoM #lostgardensofFallowfield #botanicalgarden @GilesNJohnson1

[GilesNJohnson @GilesNJohnson1]

Fantastic event at Firs Botanical Grounds today. Thanks to all the wonderful volunteers who helped make it happen! (I was too preoccupied to take photos so have to retweet Amanda's). Special thanks to Ollie, Rachel and Megan (and Ossie for the prep) #fascinationofplantsday

[Amanda Bamford @amandabamford]

Open day a total success at @OfficialUoM Firs environment research site. Talks, music, greenhouse tours, yoga and plenty of plants on a gorgeous sunny day. #fascinationofplants @PlantDay18May #botany #plantday

Massive thanks to @sainsburys delivery driver in Colchester who recently came to the rescue of my mother after a fall, calling an ambulance and waiting with her till it arrived

Sorry to hear about the passing of Neil Baker, a pioneer in photosynthesis research. Chlorophyll fluorescence approaches we now take for granted are based on his work https://t.co/kgJhD3nt9q

[GilesNJohnson @GilesNJohnson1]

@BUCBotany @Aristolochia We have discussed whether we should name our new research greenhouses after her. However her views on eugenics were, shall we say, problematic...and what drove her work on family planning.

[UoM Science and Engineering @UoMSciEng]

Come along to our Green Together event on the 22, 23 & 24 February at Manchester Central Library! Chat with our friendly scientists and engineers about ways we can all do our bit in living a greener lifestyle! 💚 https://t.co/uYxwxJY9JZ #ClimateChange
