Haven't been to @LiveToYourLR for ages. Lovely @jimcausley and Miranda Sykes concert tonight.

The best of #Londontheatre is superlative: #AllMySons @WyndhamsTheatre definitely deserves that accolade.

Last week, Oxford Botanic Garden’s Chris Thorogood (@thorogoodchris1), working with local conservation hero Septian (Deki) Andriki and their local guide Iswandi, saw Rafflesia hasseltii in Sumatra. Their expedition was supported by @brin_indonesia’s Joko Witono and @unibofficial’s Agus Susatya, whose guidance helped make the journey possible. To see this flower in bloom was an extraordinary team achievement. This expedition was part of the Community for the Conservation and Research of Rafflesia (CCRR) – an international partnership running since 2022 - made up of academic biologists, foresters, researchers and community practitioners from across the world working on Rafflesia. Their mission is to document some of the world’s rarest flowers and build a Rafflesia conservation working group – sharing knowledge, tools and best practice to protect these plants long term.
