Just home from a wonderful time talking about potatoes on @infinitemonkeycage.bsky.social with amazing people… feel the potato love, some of us got quite emotional 🥔Played out by Helen Anahita Wilson on the potato piano.. listen out for it in August!
It’s been a great meeting… I think my brain might burst with me and exciting information and insights! #SOLRUB2025
So… climate change… Lagerstroemia (crepe myrtle) as a street tree in London! A lovely splash of pink in late summer! #londonlife
Exciting arrival in the post today… hard copy of The Madrid Code! @iaptglobal.bsky.social
Interested in big flowering plant genera? Come work with the exciting global Solanum group - based at @nhm-london.bsky.social - phylogenomics, diversification, nightshade fun! jobs.nhm.ac.uk/Job/JobDetai...
So, leaf shape is quite (!) variable in Solanum….. can fool one into thinking things are different.. figuring taxa out requires more than a glance! Here’s an extreme example in Solanum albidum ….. #iamabotanist
Was such great fun! And to complete your potato week new paper out on origin of the mighty spud @cellpress.bsky.social www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...
