Few Plant science programmes are left in the UK and they are critical to train the next generation.
This move by @uniofnottingham.bsky.social goes against recommendations made in the recent PS Education manifesto. Big mistake! Sign the petition! nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

“It was renewables that did it!” That was the headline after Spain’s blackout on April 28.
But the official report published today points to other factors: chain reaction of overvoltages led to cascading generation disconnections. Human error played a big role too.

One of the most important things we do is teaching: I just wrapped up the Environmental Plant Physiology module which I have enjoyed immensely this year, in part due to the interest shown by the students, so thank you !
