Nice to be in San Diego for my first PAG conference… not sure how I’ve not made it here before!

I’ll be talking meiotic recombination in polyploid Arabidopsis in the meiotic recombination session on Monday evening. Come say hi!

You can tell you’re writing an Arabidopsis paper when… #arabidopsis

On the plus of shortening days, the starlings have returned to Aberystwyth pier for the winter. A little blustery for an extended murmuration yesterday, but always a pretty awesome sight!

Hi all 👋🏼, nice to be here! Rather grey in Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 this time of year… so nice to see some Bluesky! 🦋🦋👍
