Great to see the Norman Wickett give the fanciest of inaugural lectures at the University of Vienna 💅

What an absolute treat to return to my undergraduate stomping grounds to give a seminar on my work on the persimmon genus Diospyros 🌱 nostalgia galore!

The best presentations are made on a train on the way to give said presentation 🎁

Throwback to a few weeks ago where I went straight from fieldwork in a bog to shopping in Paris before my flight home 💅

Arctic in the streets, tropics in the sheets ❄️ a beautiful snowy scene from my work window enjoyed by me and my toasty warm Begonia 🌴

The EMBL building in Heidelberg giving Escher painting vibes, in the best possible way 🧬

How your email finds me

Time to settle in after a long day elbow deep in transposable elements 🍷 happy Saturday folks

Motivation to code properly is through the floor today 🐥

Labelling samples to send to a collaborator is a humbling lesson in writing teeny tiny on falcon tubes 🐣 truly a dark art

As a predominantly computational biologist I’m especially thrilled to be let loose during fieldwork (even fieldwork lunches: 5 days straight of baguette+tinned fish for lunch has its utilitarian charms)
