@MichaelCraig96 Did he have a few going Spare?

@jna_sh Yew wouldn't believe just how dangerous things can be! Calla lilies are deadly as well if I'm not mistaken 😬

[Craig Docherty @cwdStir]

So not only did I get back to speaking at a conference today (@gsgsch) which was great fun, but I also walked away with the prize for Best Student Submission! Absolutely delighted & the trophy looks amazing!

Not to mention a few others as well! @plantchief @UniofNewcastle & @FeraScience (Glyn), @SocSciStir

The event should be live here: https://t.co/7wkHglwLwA

With a video of the session to follow!

I'm looking forward to talking at the @gsgsch conference this afternoon! I'll be speaking about some work conducted with @savimaharaj, @AltEcon, and Glyn Jones, comparing a game v. non-game approach for tree and plant health issues

[Craig Docherty @cwdStir]

I'll also be taking part in a roundtable as well! Discussing Gamification and serious games in education & training, a must-have for better learning or a playground for better teaching?.

Thanks go to @DefraGovUK @SICSA_Scotland @StirUni @csmstir for supporting the work.

@MichaelCraig96 At least the puns are cheap! Duty free, if you will

@MichaelCraig96 You mean to say there was turbulence in the terminal?

Fancied a spot of baking this evening #cookies #baking https://t.co/XXhogIWiq2

@Fenn92 Yup! Although it is best to wait until the day after when the reductions start 😆

[Craig Docherty @cwdStir]

@DrDavidJeffery Mendeley was an absolute godsend during my PhD. I'm particularly fond of the web importer & paper recommendation functionalities!

[Craig Docherty @cwdStir]

This is really rather lovely! I'd love to see similar initiatives across the UK.

@bug_beastie And so what were some of the ideas to raise awareness? In Malta there are ads on milk cartons :) not sure how effective they are as there is little instruction as to which plant and health diseases they want us to look out for - but still - an effort to raise awareness ☺️

[Craig Docherty @cwdStir]

@OliAworth I'm sure you'd be fine. Not to mention you're clearly passionate about the subject and that really does count for a lot!

[Craig Docherty @cwdStir]

@OliAworth Go for it! It's a wild ride doing a PhD but if you get the opportunity & you're passionate, then do it!

[Craig Docherty @cwdStir]

@aklecz You'll be fantastic! Best of luck 😊

[Craig Docherty @cwdStir]

Horrific mistakes on twitter? It's not unusual...

[Craig Docherty @cwdStir]

@H_Williamson41 If it was we'd see Barnard Castle somewhere on there 😂

[Craig Docherty @cwdStir]

@MichaelCraig96 So we're agreed that there's only one Queen of the Den?

@BroadhurstJosh To quote Alison Krauss\Ronan Keating, "you say it best when you say nothing at all" 😂
