First in a new series of #BotanicsStories posts on the fascinating world of #mosses, by @thebotanics' Diego Sánchez-Ganfornina: https://t.co/4lSZvx9cJc #bryophytes #biodiversity

Congratulations Diego Sánchez-Ganfornina on the publication of our paper on Hypnodendron in Bot. J. Linn. Soc.!

@jpaulmoorephoto Hi Paul, I've now tweeted a link to a free-to-view version.

Some nice publicity in The Scotsman for the new book (perhaps needs a subscription to view but was in print yesterday) https://t.co/CtXBvW00LI

@rachel_harries @WoodlandTrust @WTNIDaveScott @LeifBersweden Yup, Campylopus introflexus - the strongly reflexed hairpoints are pretty much diagnostic. One of our few non-native introduced mosses! Also a Hypnum species bottom right.

@jakescottMD @NIH I've had 3 pfizer, the last 11 months ago. Caught covid for 1st time >1 month ago, average/minor symptoms but tested positive on LFTs for 16 days (last positive LFT 23 days ago). Now being offered winter booster in UK, official advice is 28 days+ post infection. Wait longer?

@EdinburghTrams Great, thanks.

[Neil Bell @NeilElliotBell]

@EdinburghTrams There must be some estimates / expected times somewhere though - where would I go to find that information?

📣Overjoyed to share our new paper, a long-term project by an international team of bryologists to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the @IAB_Bryology - Unveiling the nature of a miniature world: a horizon scan of fundamental questions in bryology https://t.co/Q3xaThV7Cy 🧵

MUST WATCH: this new video from @sangerinstitute features some of the amazing science and scientists working on #DarwinTreeOfLife🧬

It's a snapshot of the tireless work being undertaken by our partners the length and breadth of these islands.

@Wiggle_Sport It would help if you included tracking details in your order emails as you used to, instead of forcing people to use the app (which is indirect and, as we now see, not always functional!). I can't see any reason for this than marketing at the expense of customer convenience.

Today we’re celebrating the 250th anniversary of the first recorded ascent of Ben Nevis, by collecting plant material for DNA sequencing on Britain’s highest mountain.

Spectacular trip on Thursday with #TeamRBGE collecting bryophytes for #DarwinTreeOfLife on Ben Nevis! Nationally threatened snowbed habitat home to some of our rarest bryophytes is right next to the tourist path (although for fun we took the CMD arête) @RBGE_Science @TheBotanics

New paper based on old data - thanks to Maren Flagmeier's sterling efforts funded by a Sibbald Trust grant from RBGE! Scottish populations of Anastrophyllum alpinum have their origins inthe Sino-Himalaya. https://t.co/4G4L4ZUpzQ

@Hermesparcels From Wikipedia: "it was shown that Hermes was sending parcels they claimed were undeliverable to an auction house. Host Joe Lycett contested the undeliverability of the items, finding many goods auctioned off had legible names, addresses, and tracking numbers."

[Neil Bell @NeilElliotBell]

@Hermesparcels Hello again - no response? As this seems to be the only way to contact you, I'm afraid you will have to act like Customer Service here. As others have pointed out, you don't have any actual customer service...

[Neil Bell @NeilElliotBell]

@Hermesparcels Hello, I am due to receive a parcel that is red-flagged on the tracking info with the message "Driver not scanned at depot". What does this mean, please?
