Had my first teaching session in here today. Great new facility (even if most of the PCRs didn't work for the class 🙁)

Grateful for the opportunity to talk about what's happening belowground to a room (marquee tent) of mostly plant folk. I think my fingers are trying to resemble hyphal networks and remind me of the way @FungusProf talked about decomposers in my undergrad lectures 20 years ago.
Now we are hearing from those working on the Ainsdale Dune #LTE with a series of lightning talks where they will share some of their research findings starting with Fay Voller @FVoller from @edgehill. @AinsdaleNNR @NaturalEngland @NENorthWest #AinsdaleNNR

A very proud non-work post. On Saturday my kids aged just 10 and 12 walked a whole marathon to raise money for @CR_UK in memory of their Uncle #bemoreSmiler. It took 9 hours of walking over 13 hours and there was no complaining! fundraise.cancerresearchuk.o…

When you are told that your collaborators are bringing waders (which you think are probably not necessary) and diving kit (when you know they must be taking the proverbial) to a site. Then you see the site. Wet winter!

A non-biology post as I'm rather proud. On Saturday I'll be partaking in my first ultra marathon and the first UK female only ultra marathon. Only 50km to the finish line! #sheultra bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-6881… fundraise.cancerresearchuk.o…

Closing date is next week to apply for Graduate Teaching Assistant PhD studentship @BiologyEHU. Many subject areas available (but obviously the ectomycorrhizal project is best). Photo from this weeks fieldwork site. Please retweet. jobs.edgehill.ac.uk/vacancy.…
