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!

I had an absolutely fab time at #BES2024 a week full of plant traits, roots, microbes and soils!

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!

“Soil related work” - actually me every day of my life (Manchester art gallery was a gift) #ecology

Some #fungal joy at the Manchester art gallery, perhaps a Sarcoscypha coccinea in the first photo?

Submitted a manuscript and had a teams call with a potential PhD supivisory team in the same day

Mass migrating all my info from twitter! The basics:
-I’m a plant/soil ecologist (big up roots)
-Did some research on roundabouts (stay tuned for a paper soon)
- I study grasslands and farms now
-Currently clawing my way towards a life in academia in the pursuit of becoming a gentleman scientist
