Very excited to announce that our collaborative manifesto for 🌱 #PlantScience #Education has now been published! Educators from >10 countries and 30 institutions have contributed to it and we are incredibly proud of the final output. Here is a short thread 🧵1/4 doi.org/10.1002/ppp3...
A manifesto for plant science education
Plants provide oxygen, food, shelter, medicines and environmental services, without which human society could not exist. Tackling pressing and global challenges requires well-trained plant scientists....

Increasing woodland cover to 19% to help reach net-zero could change the biogenic emissions from UK woodlands. @treeswithhazel.bsky.social’s latest research shows the potential scale of change by 2050 associated with different tree species mixes.

Find out more here: leaf.leeds.ac.uk/news/why-pla...
A graph of percentage change in BVOC emissions following afforestation, relative to present day land cover. The X axis shows percentage change in isoprene and the Y axis shows percentage change in total monoterpene. Five Afforestation experiments are plotted, as well as the present day UK tree species mix which is shown at 0 by 0 in the bottom left of the graph. Further key details are explored in the main text of this article.

Big trees are on the rise.

30 years of Amazon forest measurements by RAINFOR partners show that, so far, any impact of #climatechange on forests and large trees have been more than mitigated by the positive effects of increased resources.

I see the 2025-26 Disabled Students Allowances forms are now out for the next cycle. At this point I usually put out a guide on applying for DSA but the changes of the last year have meant such confusion and chaos that I'd barely know where to start www.gov.uk/disabled-stu...
Help if you're a student with a learning difficulty, health problem or disability
Disabled Students' Allowance is extra money for higher education students - DSA1 forms, eligibility, how to apply, needs assessment.
