British winter is literally my favourite time at the allotment. The damp, the fungi, the clearing of old ready for the new.
Plus I dug up some parsnips!

I took these photos in January 2024 using a 1940’s Kodak Box Brownie camera. No focus, W/B or Zoom.
Just point and shoot. 📸

I’m still in awe of #lichen.
You need to zoom in with your phone or camera to see just how amazing they are.
I won’t tire to repeat that lichen are the result of a #symbiosis between #bacteria & #fungi.
We should try that, too. Restore our #planet together & create a wondrous #world.

Hey, as a librarian I have to tell you
You don't have to finish a book that doesn't interest you. Life's too short for that. Not your jam? You have my permission to move on to the next book.

One of the reasons I got into evolutionary sciences. Happy Birthday King 👑
Happy 99th birthday to the man who gave voice to the wild. 🎉
Sir David Attenborough, thank you for a lifetime dedicated to the natural world, and for sharing its story with wisdom, wonder, and grace.
You've inspired generations to fall in love with nature.

I will NEVER back down from this argument
I am working out of a public library and there are a good number of people who seem to be on hard times using the facilities for various reasons like job searching, entertainment, charging peripherals, using the bathroom, etc., and I am struck by how important it is that libraries continue to exist

I have never seen anything so relatable in my existence
I put on at least 3kg of weight every spring due to a crippling Cadbury Mini Eggs addiction. I then spend 9 months battling to lose it so I can do it all over again. Worth it.

Three simple suggestions to evolutionary psychologists worried about our work being misappropriated:
(1) Avoid absolutes
(2) Emphasize similarities, not just differences
(3) Highlight agency
