Another super week at Gatsby Plant Science Summer School tutoring the Plant Pathology Practical. Really lovely group of students this year, a pleasure to teach.
Now it’s 11 years since I was a student at it! It was very surreal doing a talk on my career, from Gatsby to… Gatsby @gpsep.bsky.social

A great (and busy) day of #PlantHealthWeek getting colleagues at Fera Science Ltd. to make fungi and spores on our stall to show them the wonders of Mycology. They made some superb models! 🍄👩🎨

Really enjoyed the Fungal Biodiversity training course at @westerdijkinst.bsky.social last week, greatly broadening my understanding of fungal taxonomy and characteristics to help with my diagnostic work

“Human progress isn’t measured by industry. It’s measured by the value you place on a life. An unimportant life. A life without privilege. The boy who died on the river, that boy’s value is your value. That’s what defines an age. That’s what defines a species”

Really enjoyed Skeleton Crew. Fun, contained and modest storyline, genuinely good child actors, likeable and importantly relatable characters, a breath of fresh air. Also Neel. Mostly Neel 💙

Enjoying Skeleton Crew so far, though I think it’s important to watch it with subtitles, as otherwise you’d miss gold like “thrilling music continues playing” and “speaking in alien language”

Happy Birthday 61st Doctor Who! 🎂🍰 ✨💙
Spending the day sheltering from the rain listening to loads of Big Finish Audio adventures. And also Vincent and the Doctor which is ever more incredible after visiting the Van Gogh museum in Amsterdam.
