⏰⚠️My field trial will be harvested this week!⚠️⏰

Data on the effect of these flowering treatments on 13,000 carrots - Science✅

Now the other 12,987,000 carrots will be harvested for supermarkets - Feeding the world✅

Sometimes, you can do science in a field with a farmer.

It hasn't all been hard work over the last few days...

[Hannah McGrath @HMcGrath93]

Little bit of downtime after some go karting this afternoon at the @WaitroseCTP training, so time for self reflection. I know you guys love it when I do these threads 😉

Biggest reflection: @D_Garrett_Ento is a demon on in a go kart. Actual footage in gif ⤵️

Bit of a personal reflection, the work with industry leaders like Waitrose is great motivation.

I get to sit in a room at the #WaitroseSci19 event and get to see the demand from industry for projects and #science like mine. That’s rare in #PhDlife #ECRchat #PhDChat

[Waitrose CTP @WaitroseCTP]

Fantastic plastic talk from Jens from @BASF and how we can exploit microbes used to breaking down waxy leaf surfaces and incorporate this science into biodegradable plastics for happier, #plasticfree, @Waitrose customers

#WaitroseSci19

[Waitrose CTP @WaitroseCTP]

The second session begins with Mike Garratt from @UniRdg_SAPD @CAER_Reading discussing what ecological intensification and #pollination looks like, particularly how you can get both environmental gains and profits for business #WinWin

[Waitrose CTP @WaitroseCTP]

We’ve just had an update from @Ecospray and their natural approaches to controlling nematodes. Awesome to see commercially available products which have been regulated!
