Have you ever seen a first edition copy of 'On the Origin of Species'? Or seen the first in print drawing of a potato 🥔?
These were just some of the treasures hiding away in the @johninnescentre.bsky.social rare books room which I was fortunate to visit last week. A truly amazing experience 📚🌱

Today I had a great time attending a writing workshop led by Mary Williams (@plantteaching.bsky.social). I came away with many tips for writing papers, a greater understanding of the peer review process and I enjoyed our discussion about AI and writing 📝 🖥️
I'm Norwich to give a talk tomorrow, but came a day early to give a writing workshop. Wonderful to catch up with Cathie Martin, who hired me in 2009 when she was EIC of @theplantcell.bsky.social. Thanks to @ciara-obrien.bsky.social for being a great host & other @plantaeofficial.bsky.social fellows.

Part of the #PlastidPreview2025 program involved a trip to the plant growth facility at @universityofessex.bsky.social
It was super cool to see all the amazing facilities including onions growing in a vertical farm, how to measure photosynthesis and some impressive dynamic growth rooms 🌱

The second and final day of #PlastidPreview2025 has been really insightful! I enjoyed networking with other early career researchers and it was an honour to present my work from my post doc. I was so pleased that so many people enjoyed hearing about starch and the many fruitful followup discussions!
