I'm advertising a @darwintreelife postdoc to work at @EdinburghUni @SBSatEd on comparative #plant genomics! 16 months to use chromosomal level genome assemblies to investigate genomic diversity in British native flowering plants. Collab with @RBGE_Science. 🌲☘️🌼 Please RT.
Collecting for the Plant ID session this afternoon! @GatsbyPlantScEd

The GPSSS wouldn't be the same without the awesome practical sessions! Leading the Plant Systematics & ID practical is @jen_farrar, @milneorchid & Meng Lu (@SBSatEd). 🔎🪻 FYI Meng has an awesome blog about her journey into a plant science PhD: menglubio.weebly.com (10/?)
The first 🌿plant day🌿 of Field Ecology! Hooray!!! @SBSatEd In my eyes (as a demonstrator), our enthusiastic undergrads were like ↓
After a whole day of SNP calling, I was just preparing dinner, opened the oven, and told my partner: “Put the quiche on this level.” He looked at me, lovingly, and then said: “You just told me to put the quiche on this directory.” Me: lol
Wholeheartedly agree!! His views on evolution, the magic of superior nature, and the despicable poaching... His voice is full of great passion and admiration to plant; LOVE this vid 「This Tiny Succulent Will Teach You How Plants Evolve youtu.be/FF-Vs0eyWIA via @YouTube」
Meng Lu retweeted
Job alert! I was recently awarded an ERC Consolidator grant and I will soon be advertising a post-doc to investigate the maintenance of genetic variation in self-fertilising species, to be based @SBSatEd. Interested? Feel free to DM or email me!

We brought back our Darwin Trust socials since the pandemic. Our students had the chance to have some food and fun. There was so much inclusion and diversity in the room 🥳!
@botAna_Bedoya @NewPhyt Big congratulations to you Ana !!!🎉 So happy for you❤️❤️❤️ (sorry for this super late reply - haven’t been on Twitter for a while)
@alex_twyford I didn’t know they’re already flowering 😲
