I am so excited to share that in September I will be starting a PhD at the The University of Edinburgh/Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh through the E5 DTP. The work will focus on the traits, ecology and evolution of geoxyles across continents and will be supervised by @jess-rickenback.bsky.social!

Today I started setting up a new long term drought experiment on campus, stay tuned for rain out shelters and roots!

Audibly gasped when I saw these charming little drawings in Melbourne, a little bit of storage organ representation, feels very reminiscent of the drawings often seen on @exfumo.bsky.social socials!

A sneak preview of the advance copy of the new Field Guide to the wild flowers of the Canary Islands, published by Kew. My coauthors and I cover more than 2000 species, and we hope to inspire people with one of the world's most iconic island floras 🌞

Just a quick post to wish everyone a happy holiday season (Meri Kirihimete!), and wonderful things for 2025.
Thanks for all of your support this year with my macro and SciComm - life has thrown me some lovely ups & some significant downs this year, but we look ever forwards not backwards! Cheers!

If you are at the @britishecolsoc.bsky.social conference next week come say hi! I will be presenting a poster (A5.2) all about some #functionality and #trait work, in preparation for the new EHU drought shelters. Plus, as an honarary scouser (Liverpudlian partner) I know all the best spots in town!

Yo #botany and #ecology people, does anyone have a reliable #root phosphatases activity protocol? Something I can either do in a cuvette or 96 well plate. #soilecology
