We are recruiting two postdoctoral fellows to work on (1) plant phenotyping (2) any aspect plant biology (basic or applied). Great opportunity. Please reach out if you have questions or if you would like to work with me in developing your application.

@AlisonRBentley @niabgroup Very sad news.

Farewell & godspeed to Prof Andy Greenland who has sadly passed away. Andy was the first Director of Genetics & Breeding @niabgroup & set the vision for new UK wheat pre-breeding and biotech programs. A font of wisdom & experience ➕ a genuine, inclusive & supportive leader.

jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/41023/ I have a vacancy for a research assistant in my lab. If you are interested please apply. Remember to include your CV and a cover letter about why you are interested in this job.

@IanJMackay Dear Ian, It's been such an honour to have had you as my PhD supervisor and mentor. Thank you so much for your support through the years. I am very grateful.

My Twitter activity - never high – will reduce to zero in the near future. I’ve got terminal prostate cancer which has just about run its course. I still follow things, though it has become much harder to concentrate. It’s been a gas anyway. So long, Mac / Ian

@nancybird_ Congratulations Nancy!

I submitted my PhD thesis today! Thanks to everyone who helped along the way! 🎉🥳🥂
