Did you ever wonder why vascular plant shoots don’t terminate in sporangia like bryophytes do? I’m excited to be able to offer a 4-year funded PhD @BristolBioSci to find out! Project info on findaphd.com & please get in touch if you’d like to know more.

Lovely to see the grouse moors all ablaze above #Weirdale today.
If this were the Amazon rainforest we’d all be up on arms. But this is for hobby shooting, so it’s really important and quite ok.

We are looking forward for your applications!
Deadline is January 15, 2025.
Have you heard about the @AHEAD_wheat mentoring Program? It aims to support the wheat experts of tomorrow and to involve Early Career Researchers into the network discussions and provide links between researchers, institutions and countries. Have a look!
