Thanks for the kind words. It's a work in progress, so I'm happy if this opens up discussions among ourselves :)

Proud to be releasing my piece/essay that explores the aspects of my potato research that fascinate me so much. The essay focuses on my time working alongside Indigenous agricultural and botanical experts in the Andean regions of Bolivia and Peru.

Big thanks to @thecentriclab.com for their support

Last week I was invited for a talk at the Annual Darwin Debate organised by @ceevol.bsky.social The debate was on "How would Darwin do Fieldwork today?"
Below, I have summarised my intervention 😃

#DarwinDay at @nhm-london.bsky.social ended with a great simposium by @ceevol.bsky.social.

Thanks to the organisers @aidaandres.bsky.social and the speakers @hernanaburbano.bsky.social @allasicanales.bsky.social and @mauritiantales.bsky.social, so much food for thought!
