@breederphil @CamDTP_BBSRC @KWSUKLtd @MonogramUK And the award for longest hashtag goes to @breederphil 😂

1/ Very proud @niabgroup supervisor here watching a virtual @YeorgiaArgirou deliver her MECEA 2021 PhD prize winning talk on using diverse @UKFutureWheat prebreeding material in F1 hybrids.

@allohexaploid I'm using the dodgy homemade cider my brother gave me for late Christmas 😂🤫

Finally conceded that no amount of eggshells will get the slug population down. 100 adults and juveniles drowned tonight in a 10% vodka solution 😭. Wonder what I'll be dreaming of tonight 👀😖 🐌. #IPM

@breederphil Just to clarify - liking the word play not the rubbish.

Tossers. This is a passing place on a single track road. Rusty nails everywhere

Our work on the wheat D-subgenome evolution from its progenitor is out on bioRxiv!! Great work by @kgaurav1208 @BrandeWulff @pausilva_poli JessePoland @WheatLab JavierSanchez BeatKeller RichardHorsnell @AlisonRBentley @LiangliangGao and all others who contributed!!

📣#VACANCY📣 Seasonal Field Trials Technicians A great opportunity to gain experience in field crops/plot trials, we have several roles available, involving: 👉Sample collection 🌾measuring plant characteristics 👩‍🌾a range of other practical tasks. Visit: ow.ly/9e6S50DnuNc

Please RT My lab is looking for a bioinformatician post-doc scientist for four years. Please DM/email me for more info. Minimum annual salary: $60K + benefits.

Bit of a garden tidy up and found some of love-in-a-mist (Nigella damascena) seed heads full of germinating seeds. New year. New life. 🌱

@niabgroup HQ looking spooky in the fog

Safeguarding global crop diversity is vitally important @GlobalSeedVault but so is cookie diversity. Please @Oreo let @McVities dark chocolate Hobnobs into your vault youtu.be/-I9PMUmVcoc 😂🌾🍪

Looking for a PhD that combines bioinformatics, genetics and biochemistry? Very excited to offer this project with me @KewScience and David Seung @JohnInnesCentre exploring starch diversity in wheat and wild grasses! Deadline 23rd November.

socially distant cake and bubbles with @AlisonRBentley 🥮🍾 #watchoutforthecork

@AlisonRBentley @OrmanBeata Farewell tradition of put more stuff in the office 😂

Time to clear out my office at NIAB. Loving the farewell decorations from the awesome Genetics & Breeding team masterminded by @ekte_Toby @OrmanBeata eg al. #Happydays

Excellent final G&B talk by @AlisonRBentley covering 12+ years of work and progress in UK #wheat🌾 Final message (paraphrasing) #teamwork makes the #dream work. Lots of Mexican themed virtual zoom backgrounds, including @GIAradottir and @Tomplantpath in a mariachi band 😂

Fantastic opportunity for an iCASE PhD studying barley yellow dwarf virus in wheat @Rothamsted @BristolUni with application into wheat breeding @ragtseedsuk. Guaranteed some excellent supervision (and some ramblings from myself) swbio.ac.uk/files/2020/10/…

#Argentina #Economy #GM #Wheat #Science Argentina, the fourth-largest wheat exporter in the world, has become the first country in the world to approve the commercialisation of a variety of transgenic wheat. batimes.com.ar/news/argentina…

@ekte_Toby You're good at poetry theory. I think this is a haiku: Wheat fields in the sun My skin never get a tan The lab researcher 🔬🧛🏻‍♀️

In honour of #NationalPoetryDay, here's my work 🌾: I study and research wheat, It is good to eat, It grows in farmers' fields, I'm trying to increase yields, And that would be pretty neat.
