Posted a version of this video on TikTok yesterday and now I have people sending me pictures of the sunset from where they are! ❤️

It feels unbelievably wholesome!

Tonight's sunset is an absolute corker! 👌🏻

📖 First book read from my #40by40 list.

I'm still mulling over my thoughts...it was great, but I wouldn't say I enjoyed it!! I almost think it could be better on a second read-through.

I definitely need a bit of a palette cleanser now!

Our Great Global Nurdle Hunt 2025 Report is out today!

📈 Since 2013:
🪸90% of hunts in global biodiversity hotspots detected nurdles

In October 2025:
🌍 1,500+ volunteers in 25 countries completed 297 hunts
🔎 Nurdles found in 92% of countries

Read the report ▶️ hub.nurdlehunt.org/resource/the...

2/2 I'm still thinking about the final ⚡️ talk of the day.

We were introduced to #VirtualWater, the hidden water used to grow the food we import. Especially important when thinking about crops from areas facing severe #WaterScarcity (e.g places in Spain now desalinating seawater just to irrigate!).🤯

1/2 On my way back from my last event of the year - the annual @hutton.ac.uk symposium where we had a networking poster for @crew-waters.bsky.social. 🙌🏼

Have you had chance to take a look at our new @sefariscot.bsky.social crop booklets yet?

They're the perfect excuse to take a coffee break!

Touching grass before settling in to 8 hours of screen time! 🍄‍🟫

The perfect late autumn afternoon. 🌊

I should absolutely be taking more dooks in the sea!

💧Building on yesterday's blog on #AMR in agri-food systems for World #AntimicrobialResistance Week, today we learn about what Scotland’s rivers can tell us about this growing global threat.

Many smaller-scale historical dumps are frequently located in riparian zones, especially associated with farms and estates. We do not have a map of these hazards, because so many of them are buried on private, inaccessible land. 1/2

Time to start my #40by40!

I made a list of 40 books I aim to read by the time I hit 40 years. They either scare me (for various reasons) or I feel like I'll never read them otherwise.

No books I've read previously & no duplication of author.

Any words of warning/encouragement are welcome! 😅

One of the highlights of my year! Tattie rich! 🥔

...the benefits of working in a research institute that research's and breeds crops!

Now join me for my upcoming 100-part series as I cook my way through a mountain of potatoes… 🥔

Several years ago, at my @eastbio.bsky.social PhD interview, I was asked to talk about a paper from outside of my field that interested me. I can't remember what my answer was then, but I definitely know what it would be now!! 🐀 🐀 🐀

Too cute...and of course important!

Dirty Sanchez! 🫒

Tequila, Noilly Prat, olive brine and an olive.

...I don't want to hear anything about it being a Monday!

Just about decompressed from the @sefariscot.bsky.social & ScotGov Scotland's Global Food Security Conference!

I had a fairly minor part in the organisation, but oh boy, was this a big event to be involved with! If you're interested in finding out what was discussed take a look at #FoodSecurity25

If I could do another PhD I'd be applying for this one!

Take a look at my new blog for @sefariscot.bsky.social

Such an inspiring event to attend. Well done to all the early career researchers. #ScienceCommunication
