Very true and at least you didn't get dropped 30 - zip by the Panthers.... 😬

I feel slightly sad for Flacco. But yeah stunned by Danny Dimes - who would have thunk it! Should be 4-1 by the end of the weekend as well.

It was a busy but incredibly fruitful and inspirational few days in London. An absolute delight to be involved.

Absolutely intellectually spoiled these past 2 days! At ‘A New Odyssey for Public Engagement’ in London, leading thinkers in science, diplomacy & public engagement from 4 continents came together to explore how the ODESSI framework (doi.org/10.5281/zeno...) can guide global dialogues on science 🌍✨

The entrance to submitting articles to journals and open access admin is mildly scary - not gonna lie.

Feel like I need a PhD in publishing articles to publish articles from my PhD 😬

Work in AgTech or plant breeding industry? Got time to discuss novel scientific and technological products in every day life? Available to get to Cambridge, UK on Friday 12th September? Well, then come and join me for a focus group.

But you didn't sign Watson. So small mercies. They probably should've hung on to Flacco. Jones will be benched by Thanksgiving - at the latest.

I'm transcribing. Research, actual research, lovely wonderful research. I forgot how much I enjoyed this. It's been a while. 😁

This is only slightly more annoying than when I got to the airport a few years ago to discover my AirPods were not actually in the case...

An afternoon of transcription derailed because the better half took my AirPods (with her AirPods) to work. Neither were required whilst she has been pulling teeth out of horses...! Sigh.

Ultra-processed foods are THE debate in nutrition right now, so you'd figure a new randomized control trial on UPFs would get lots of attention. But this study in Nature Medicine has only gotten modest coverage -- probably because it's findings are not so scary. THREAD

Oh my. If you just read government legislation on genetically modified organisms you would assume that the only persons undertaking this work were men. Kind of intrigued to see when this changes - it better change....!

Happy Friday everyone. 😆

Split decision. On the one hand it's been fun trawling away for different countries policies on plant synthetic biology. On the other, I've just found a website dedicated to tracking said policies... I guess at least I have the background to sense check the tracker...

Oooh, there's a comment on a webinar "if you want to have impact get out of university" 👀
