📖 First book read from my #40by40 list. I'm still mulling over my thoughts...it was great, but I wouldn't say I enjoyed it!! I almost think it could be better on a second read-through. I definitely need a bit of a palette cleanser now!

Touching grass before settling in to 8 hours of screen time! 🍄‍🟫

The perfect late autumn afternoon. 🌊 I should absolutely be taking more dooks in the sea!

💧Building on yesterday's blog on #AMR in agri-food systems for World #AntimicrobialResistance Week, today we learn about what Scotland’s rivers can tell us about this growing global threat. 🔗 tinyurl.com/HuttonAMR2 #WAAW

For World #AMR Awareness Week, our latest blog shares @hutton.ac.uk research on AMR in agri-food systems. Read how researchers are tackling this “silent pandemic” through the link below ⬇️ 🔗 tinyurl.com/HuttonAMR #AntimicrobialResistance #OneHealth #WAAW

Many smaller-scale historical dumps are frequently located in riparian zones, especially associated with farms and estates. We do not have a map of these hazards, because so many of them are buried on private, inaccessible land. 1/2

Time to start my #40by40! I made a list of 40 books I aim to read by the time I hit 40 years. They either scare me (for various reasons) or I feel like I'll never read them otherwise. No books I've read previously & no duplication of author. Any words of warning/encouragement are welcome! 😅

...the benefits of working in a research institute that research's and breeds crops! Now join me for my upcoming 100-part series as I cook my way through a mountain of potatoes… 🥔

Several years ago, at my @eastbio.bsky.social PhD interview, I was asked to talk about a paper from outside of my field that interested me. I can't remember what my answer was then, but I definitely know what it would be now!! 🐀 🐀 🐀 Too cute...and of course important!

Dirty Sanchez! 🫒 Tequila, Noilly Prat, olive brine and an olive. ...I don't want to hear anything about it being a Monday!

Just about decompressed from the @sefariscot.bsky.social & ScotGov Scotland's Global Food Security Conference! I had a fairly minor part in the organisation, but oh boy, was this a big event to be involved with! If you're interested in finding out what was discussed take a look at #FoodSecurity25

If I could do another PhD I'd be applying for this one!

Take a look at my new blog for @sefariscot.bsky.social #ScienceCommunication

Such an inspiring event to attend. Well done to all the early career researchers. #ScienceCommunication

Autumnal Sunday run. 🏃🏻‍♀️

The best #AuroraBorrealis I've seen. 🙌🏼 It didn't look quite like this to the naked eye...but these are unedited pictures. Honestly spectacular! #Aberdeenshire

My current gaming obsession! #HollowKnight I'm not technically a 'good' gamer and normally throwing myself into boss fight after boss fight and taking hours of practice to beat some of them isn't my jam...but there's something about this little guy that keeps me playing! What a dude?!

Normally I post for one centre of expertise ( @crew-waters.bsky.social or @sefariscot.bsky.social ) at a time and I rarely post on LinkedIn! ...but the 46th TB Macauley Lecture on Doughnut Economics felt like an opportunity to shake that up. 🍩 www.linkedin.com/posts/amy-co...

🎥 My first (but hopefully not last) time climbing Arthur's Seat. #ExploreScotland #VisitEdinburgh youtube.com/shorts/L8wfb...

What an awesome graphic?! I love a cosy evening/morning...I just wish that the period of dark cosy hibernation was shorter! Last winter felt like a long one. #Aberdeenshire

Brushing up on those #ScienceCommunication skills with Edinburgh Science at @hutton.ac.uk today. 🙌🏼 🧠 🔬 🦠 👩🏻‍🔬

Covering two stands at the ENRA conference today - comms and impact for @crew-waters.bsky.social and comms and engagement for @sefariscot.bsky.social. With the focus being engagement and impact for the next ScotGov strategic research programme this feels like the perfect event to attend!

My first trip up Arthur's Seat. I reached the top beetroot red and sporting 7 (and counting) midge bites. How do they always find me?!

Love the broad range of topics we get to cover.

#StormAmy My namesake storm!!

Well, I never imagined I'd find myself enjoying a lecture about economics! Prof Kate Raworth was super engaging for her talk on #DoughnutEconomics for the 46th TB Macauley Lecture. I also had a tonne of great conversations at the @sefariscot.bsky.social stand. Huge thanks if you stopped by!

I've been informed that I'm actually just a massive townie! 😅

Maybe I've got selective memory but this has to be my first 1.5 degree September morning since living in Aberdeenshire. 🍂 Brutal! 🍁

When you revisit a museum 30 years later & finally get to try the samples… 🍎 The @museumofcider.bsky.social in Hereford was so much bigger than I remembered, although it probably has changed a lot! The basement area was especially impressive. ...we did leave with 2 bottles of perry in hand! 🍐
