Loved taking part in the Mevagissey #NewYearPlantHunt again this year (despite the invigorating Cornish weather). Thanks @danryan_nature and @ThreeBaysWild - here’s hoping we beat our rank from last year!
Very fun #NewYearPlantHunt in Mevagissey with a small crew who braved the weather warnings.
Our record count in 4 years of doing this route (not that we are competitive…).

Great to see the work @AdamsToristar is doing to open up collections from South and Central Americas held @NtlMuseumsScot to indigenous and non-indigenous researchers.
@clarkers@AdamsToristar@NtlMuseumsScot Awesome! I can't wait to hear more about Andreas' visit, so great that more is being done on the SA featherwork collections at @NtlMuseumsScot, it is such an interesting and diverse collection.
Day 4 we were lucky to learn more about birds, featherwork and the significance of tsantsa today talking with Shuar experts of the Southern Zamora region…
really excited for the 'bibliotheca cornubiensis femina’ (library of cornish women) launch on 2nd sept. the bcf is an extensive free catalogue of notable women in cornwall and their works. we'll talk about the website, its goals, and some of women featured on it! @hypatia_trust
Finally on my way to Quito, to meet @mpordonez and @rosajdyer and work with Shuar partners and museums in Ecuador to learn about Shuar featherwork collections and finding ways forward w regards to Shuar ancestral remains / tsantsa @Pitt_Rivers.
V excited to announce I’ll be heading to the Smithsonian @NMNH this autumn on an @ahrcpress IPS fellowship! I’ll be exploring Ecuadorian featherwork, supervised by the wonderful @JoshuaABellDC and Dr Carla Dove in collab w/ @RecoverVoices and the Feather ID Lab - can’t wait!
