📰 PRESS RELEASE: It's harvest day here at @WarwickCrop Researchers from @WarwickLifeSci are preparing for the harvest of two new beans. @uniofwarwick @ericholub warwick.ac.uk/newsandevents/…

BeanMeals beans on the Beeb! The beans in our project are the stars (alongside @wheat_daddy ) of a new story on British grown beans! Read it here: bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan…

Our bean team based at @WarwickCrop led by Eric Holub is developing 2 quick-cook common bean varieties for UK farmers. Capulet is a navy bean and Godiva is a blonde kidney bean. We’re also innovating in bean-based products with @campdenbri #WorldPulsesDay #LovePulses

On #WomenInScience day, we speak to young researchers @warwickuni about their work & the importance of equality. ➡️bit.ly/3q9m38g #February11 #WomenInScienceDay #WomenInSTEM #womenandgirlsinscience #WarwickKnowledgeCentre

Job opportunity @WarwickLifeSci @WarwickCrop for a Postdoctoral Research Fellow with experience of plant cultivation and molecular biology to join the team working on the prestigious @DefraGovUK-funded Vegetable Genetic Improvement Network (VEGIN) atsv7.wcn.co.uk/search_engine/…

I have a BBSRC-LINK #postdoc position on Pulse-Downy Mildew system. Uses comparative genomics, develop diagnostic tools, monitor pathogen races, explore MBCA to suppress pathogen. Collaborate with NIAB, JIC and Industry. Full advert out soon. Please RT. DM/e-mail me for details.

As the government prepares to return to business as usual, @ProfTimLang tells Nick Easen why the imbalance in UK food supply explains why it is totally unequipped for #coronavirus, #Brexit and #climatechange. New on #WickedLeeks. wickedleeks.riverford.co.uk/features/big-i…

Food system now being tested. Read my piece: theconversation.com/coronavirus-ra… Emergency measures are being taken but must be kept accountable. Coronavirus Bill being put through UK parliament has draconian powers - only 4 pages of 329pp on food. More focus on public needed. Rationing.

Top quality seed to our dedicated growers is more important than it ever has been. Best wishes to you all at Elsoms in continuing your critical work for us all.

Lang tip for using time at home: listen to Chefs Manifesto podcasts. sdg2advocacyhub.org/news/chefs-man… If you don't know it, the Chefs Manifesto is a group of chefs around the world (and a great group in UK) thinking about and experimenting with meals and cooking for sustainability.

The Coronavirus Bill is 329 pp long. 4 pages on food. Seeks centralisation of powers. No commitment to maintain healthy diets. No rationing on equitable basis. No foodworkers as key workers. Public interest assumed to be left to retailers’ ad hoc rationing. Health ought to be top

@Riverford Hoping you can soon clarify what you’re planning for loyal customers who order different boxes each week rather than have a fixed subscription. Uncertainty about needing to go to shops or whether placing an order is available. ☹️

Coronavirus thread: It’s been a crazy week for shops across the UK – & no different at Riverford. We’ve seen unprecedented demand at very short notice, putting huge strain on our box-packing lines & drivers. To help us catch up, we've had to temporarily stop taking any new orders

Great opportunity to join our team… #elsoms #plantbreeding #horticulture 🌱🌱🥦🥕🥬

Check your pulses: Ahead of #WorldPulsesDay next week, we look at research @warwickuni into new haricot bean varieties which are suitable for growing in the UK climate. Read here>>bit.ly/3blEbFd #WarwickKnowledgeCentre

This year marks 70 years of research on vegetables and other crops at the Wellesbourne Campus @WarwickCrop @WarwickLifeSci . We're celebrating with an event on 18th December 2019. More details here: warwick.ac.uk/fac/sci/lifesc…
