We've published a new fast track article in 'Plant Perspectives', being Epha J. Roe on 'Photographic Phytography: Towards a Photographic Re-Centring of the Oak Tree within Theory, Material and Practice'; #OpenAccess here: doi.org/10.3197/whppp.… #plants #oaktree #photography






At just before 11am this morning (6 November 2023) two people entered Room 30 of the National Gallery. The pair appeared to strike The Toilet of Venus (‘The Rokeby Venus’) by Velázquez with what appeared to be emergency rescue hammers. The room was cleared of visitors and police were called. Officers are now on the scene. Two people have been arrested. The painting is now being removed from display so it can be examined by Conservators.


Vandalism plain & simple. How dare these criminals storm our National Gallery & use hammers to smash a painting depicting the Suffragette movement pretending to be raising concerns about the environment - call them out for what they are - vandals & hooligans.

Exciting #PhD project just advertised if you're interest in #Forest #Ecology and #Modelling #oak response to #ClimateChange and disturbance!👇🌳 @BESForests @europeanforest @IUFRO @AlistairJump iapetus2.ac.uk/studentships/m…
