It was a pleasure for us at the @JamesHuttonInst to host @jrockstrom together with the @MacaulayDvTrust and to listen to this global pioneer in climate change thinking. Important messages around the need for effective engagement and communication and the need to embed change.
Thanks to everyone who attended the 44th annual #TBMacLecture at @EdinburghUni this evening. A fantastic event with renowned #ClimateChange expert @jrockstrom.
If you weren’t able to attend, dont worry, we will be sharing a recording of the @MacaulayDvTrust event very soon.
Investment in our work is an investment for every person in the UK in continuing to secure our food chains of crops upon which whole industries depend. A great visit from @Douglas4Moray to show how #Hutton science is working towards future proofing against climate change.
Good to talk about the significant contribution #HuttonScience is making towards achieving national and international goals for the economy and environment with individuals who care about science in Scotland.
"The doors are rapidly closing for humanity to come back in time within the safe operating space of a stable planet." -@jrockstrom

It was a pleasure to talk with @Mark_Spencer from @DefraGovUK who had a good understanding of the issues facing our potato sector as a result of climate change, pest and resilience. Looking forward to continuing the conversation.
Looking back on those who signed pledges of support for our National Potato Innovation Centre last week at the @ScotlandRHShow - our thanks to the Rt Hon @Mark_Spencer@DefraGovUK for taking the time to visit and to hear about our world-leading potato research. #FoodSecurity
A pleasure to speak at the @RBSBusiness Scotland Public Sector conference today and to discuss our @scotgov funded science as well as our work with local authorities via initiatives such as the @taycities deal.
Great to catch up and discuss ideas, particularly meaningful given that James Hutton was a founder of the @RoyalSocEd. His innovative thinking and challenging of ideas changed how the world is viewed and serves as the inspiration for our approach to our work today
Prof Sarah Skerratt, Chief Exec @RoyalSocEd and Prof Colin Campbell FRSE, Chief Exec @JamesHuttonInst, enjoyed a festive catch-up, swapping ideas around enlightenment, those who are under-celebrated, and the importance of diversity. Looking forward to future discussions! 💭

Sad to hear of the passing of James Lovelock, creator of Gaia theory of ‘living’ Earth. What a contribution he made, particularly relevant given that his ideas were built on those of James Hutton’s theory of the Earth. Clear thinkers can be so rare and far apart in history.
Hear more about our #CitizenScience#fungi project with @PlantlifeScot. Listen to Dr Ruth Mitchell discuss the effort and distance covered by the volunteer sample collectors in the Cairngorms.

The results are IN! According to a new fungal study from @JamesHuttonInst and @PlantlifeScot; the most #speciesrich#munro summit in the Cairngorms was found to be Beinn a’Bhuird! What other discoveries did our #citizenscientists uncover? More here⬇️https://t.co/BGaRhZQIaN
Next @APGCScotland talk is tomorrow at 2pm folks and looks to be a cracker. Hear Professor Jane Rickson, @CranfieldUni, talk about “Soil health and the challenges/opportunities in controlled environment agriculture”. Register here: https://t.co/Ft7LryQFpX
It was a pleasure to see so many stakeholders at @JamesHuttonInst on Monday to discuss food security.
Innovations in agritech are key in helping to make sure our food production is more secure.
