New! Eleven species of Thrixspermum (Orchidaceae: Vandeae: Aeridinae) newly recorded from Thailand taiwania.ntu.edu.tw/abstract/2030 Excellent work by Sam! @toolmal #orchid #taxonmy #Thailand @BotanyRNG @KewScience @nparksbuzz @UniofReading

What a great slide Becky.

Ever wondered what a nearly 90-year-old @UniofReading PhD thesis looks like? Completed in 1936, “Studies on the genus Mentha” by E H Metcalf is a beautifully presented thesis which includes b&w photos, illustrations & letters to various national and international collaborators

Congratulations Jamie Thompson @ReadingBioSci on his latest paper. Very Gordon Rowley 😁 nature.com/articles/s4146… @CactusSucculent

@UniofReading The spines on this thistle flower head have the same function as spines on a sea urchin - to keep predators away! @ReadingBioSci

We're growing sea urchins... Or... are we? @BotanyRNG

It's @ibc2024 this week. I'm really enjoying catching up with old friends. Lots of great talks & posters. But sad to be missing my students graduation @UniofReading today. @ReadingBioSci @TomosJones92 @nattanon_bom

@BUCBotany - what record are you planning for in August this year? @OBGHA @drmgoeswild @pennymarshwort @hannah_con_bio

@bioinformagic @Love_Brighton @BotanyRocks @fungi_flowers @BUCBotany @drmgoeswild @John_in_Aber I'm back in Dundee in September so will have another look.

@bioinformagic @Love_Brighton @BotanyRocks @fungi_flowers @BUCBotany @drmgoeswild @John_in_Aber I can't say I've measured them myself! I've just done an estimate in Google Earth & got 14000m2 for Preston & 12000 for Barnhill. A lot of Barnhill is lawn so it's difficult to measure.

Today I visited the largest municipal rock garden in the U.K. It's by a busy road in #Brighton but has a really natural feeling as you get further back and up from the road. Incredible! Great urban #greenscape mybrightonandhove.org.uk/category/place…

@dawnbazely @mikegalsworthy @HLizanne @SAGillespie @jwoodgett @jetkerr I don't think either of the big two will try that. Both were split on Brexit.

@BotanyRNG @mikegalsworthy @HLizanne @SAGillespie @jwoodgett @jetkerr So, there are new riding boundaries? We spent last night in Toronto reading the big scale voting data. With this big of a majority I really hope that there’ll be serious discussions about reversing Brexit.

As reality bites into more British voters, I'm surprised the tories managed to hang on to this many seats. I didn't think there were enough votes from multi-millIonaires, wannabe aristocrats, #Brexit believers, racists plus NHS & Meghan-haters #UKElection2024 #ukpoli #UKElection

A great job for a plant lover. @DundeeBotanics is a great garden. jobs.ac.uk/job/DIM188/liv… #botany #horticulture

@CIEEMnet - congrats @drmgoeswild & team for bagging the Higher education programme of the year for @ReadingBioSci @UniofReading MSc in Ecological Survey Skills with Placement course. Great colleagues, students, campus & collections. @RNGherb #botany #teaching #Biology #ecology
