Trailer for horror movie, with night vision cameras on people reacting to it in cinema: "it's easy to make one person jump out of their seat. We couldn't one person who didn't". Cut to reaction shots to the jump scares, literally none of which showed a person jumping out of their seat.

I need reads. Lots of reads.

The future of UK forests is rooted in research. 🌳 We’re moving forward with core species work, SSBL, and our National Centre at Buscot & Coleshill Estate. Join us as we bridge the gap between field trials and climate resilience. 🏗️🌲

Mission accomplished

I just wanted to say, Merry Christmas, we're all counting on you

Fringe, my favourite TV series, is on itvx. Watch it.

2 weeks until the TREES DLA deadline! If you’re interested in a fully funded PhD, take a look at the project I’m offering at @rbgkew.bsky.social on evolutionary processes in natural tree populations 🌳🧬 with Richard Nichols at @qmul.bsky.social, @danielwood1992.bsky.social and @rbuggs.bsky.social 👇

Come work with us!! 2.5 year postdoc on HGT in plants. Please share and get in touch if interested www.jobs.ac.uk/job/DPQ418/r...

For #NationalTreeWeek, we are turning the spotlight on some of the next generation of forest scientists🔦 We recently welcomed our new cohort of interns, with half the group based at @forestresearchuk.bsky.social and the other half at @rbgkew.bsky.social 🌳🔍 Find out more: shorturl.at/CQKbX 🔗

Great to be involved in this session at #BritainsForestFuture - a really good panel discussion with the CFP speakers and Jo Clark from @futuretreestrust.bsky.social on the future of ash and genomic approaches to resilient trees more broadly.

Grateful to have had the chance to speak at #BritainsForestFuture - it was a brilliant event where I learnt so much, especially from our forestry practitioner colleagues! 🌳🌱🍁

Excited to be speaking at the Britain’s Forest Future meeting next week! 🌳🌲 I’ll be presenting results of @forest-protection.bsky.social funded research on future pest and disease risks to non-native trees 🪲🦠🍄‍🟫

I chose a good day to check for seed in our Fraxinus collection at @rbgkew.bsky.social 🌞🌳🍁 Looks like a bumper crop for most species - these are valuable material for @forest-protection.bsky.social funded research to tackle threats to ash trees 🌿 #Fraxinus #ashtrees #treehealth

Can you replace ground sesame seeds with ground flax seeds the short answer is no the long answer is noooooooooooooooooooo

💻 You can now view our spring webinar series which showcases the results from some of our Phase 1 projects. Our 2024/25 cohort of interns also gave a short talk about each of their projects. 🔗 You can find links to the webinars & talks here: www.forestprotection.uk/2025/09/03/s...

We need more trees 🌳 But - believe it or not - simply planting more won’t necessarily help and could lead to forests that are vulnerable to disease, drought & heat. Learn how we're working with nurseries to grow forests that are more resilient to a warmer future 👉 www.kew.org/read-and-wat...

Awesome work led by @cfcollins.bsky.social looking at the factors that influence the long term retention of laterally transferred genes! A huge amount of work and awesome first PhD chapter www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
