When students email their accommodation letters (per our school's policy) I don't just say "ok thanks." I take time to explain how their accommodations will work in practice in our classroom. 1/8

Scotland - dramatic I suppose but where are the thousands of missing species that could and should be here? #EcologicalBlindness #WhereAreTheTrees

RAIN & that gorgeous earthy petrichor scent. Actinomycete soil bacteria & the terpene geosmin make up the majority of petrichor & it’s thought humans love this scent so much because our ancestors relied on rain for survival and it would signal increased chance of crop survival.

"Coming out as non-binary is a journey I am only just beginning”. On #NonBinaryAwarenessDay, we wanted to reshare Giles Oldroyd FRS’s reflections on how life for LGBT+ scientists has changed in the 50 years since the first London Pride: https://t.co/yZ1nn3JVLc

Most scientists from the Global South are not able to afford Open Access (OA). An OA article can equal 3 or 4 of our monthly salaries or the full yearly amount of one of our grants. This discriminatory situation creates a double-standard in science dissemination.

Summer projects provide undergraduates the opportunity to explore plant pathology: in the glasshouse, laboratory and computer.

Phenotyping with deep learning is cool & stuff, but producing a good visualization 📊of your output is even more enjoyable!
Finally had time to automate the production of graphs for our maize phenotyping pipeline 🌽, here it is!

Our latest paper on variation in mycorrhizal function across wheat genotypes out now in @FoodEnergySec! Here, @TomThirkell shows growth responses of wheat to mycorrhizal inoculation vary across genotypes and that AMF may relieve plant tissue P dilution: https://t.co/rvwx16YCJ8
