[Colin Campbell @CCampbellHutton]

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.

[James Hutton Institute @JamesHuttonInst]

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.

[Colin Campbell @CCampbellHutton]

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.

[James Hutton Institute @JamesHuttonInst]

Autumnal walkabout at our #Invergowrie site with @ScotTories Leader @Douglas4Moray where we talked about our latest barley research and developments in crop storage as a result of our @IntBarleyHub and @APGCScotland science supported through @taycities deal funding.

[Colin Campbell @CCampbellHutton]

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.

[James Hutton Institute @JamesHuttonInst]

A day of visits: our CEO @CCampbellHutton welcomed @GraemeDeyMSP who pledged his support for a #NationalPotatoInnovationCentre and @DundeeCouncil’s @heatherbell59, Siobhan Tolland and @smcrome who heard more about our @taycities funded science & impact. Thanks for your support!

[Colin Campbell @CCampbellHutton]

This promises to be an excellent lecture - looking forward to it immensely.

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.

[James Hutton Institute @JamesHuttonInst]

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

[Colin Campbell @CCampbellHutton]

Thanks to @John2Win (Lamont) and Robert Gatliff from @EdinGeolSoc for great discussion today at #SiccarPoint, talking about the legacy of the father of modern #geology #JamesHutton, at the actual site where he made his world-changing discoveries. #huttonsunconformity

[Colin Campbell @CCampbellHutton]

Good to talk to @michaelgove about the impact our science has for the food, drink and other industries which rely on healthy and resilient crops for their future sustainability #cropscienceleaders #foodsecurity #huttonscience

[James Hutton Institute @JamesHuttonInst]

A pleasure to welcome @MichaelGove, SoS for #LevellingUp to discuss developments on the £62m @taycities deal investment from @ukgovscotland and @scotgov and to outline our plans for a National Potato Innovation Centre in #Tayside #sciencesolutions #foodsecurity #huttonscience

[Colin Campbell @CCampbellHutton]

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.

[Colin Campbell @CCampbellHutton]

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

[Royal Society of Edinburgh @RoyalSocEd]

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! 💭

Stunning day in Glasgow for day 2 of the #WCSS2022, come and visit the @SEFARIscot stand (6) and say hello 😁

[Colin Campbell @CCampbellHutton]

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.

[James Hutton Institute @JamesHuttonInst]

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

[The Advanced Plant Growth Centre (APGC) @APGCScotland]

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

[Defra UK @DefraGovUK]

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.
