- Today has been a rough writing day. However! I have managed to confuse my sons school friends who appeared at our door and “6 7” To which I responded with “8 9” The looks of confusion on a group of 10 and 11 year olds was priceless. So you know, silver linings.

- @greggrosenthal.bsky.social - why are the Falcons trash? 😢 Is it coaching or team building?
- I was wrong Daily Express February 1975. With this interesting article.
- Why are historians bad at house renovations…. Because I have found more newspaper and I’ll be trying to preserve it. Excitement waiting to see when it’s from. My guess 1990s.
- Oh the irony - doing renovations at home. Found the Somerset Country Gazette newspaper from July 1967 crumpled up behind a fake wall. And there’s an advert (I think) to Bristol Zoo.
- Ha! When you accidentally discover a documentary series on Zoo Vets - nearly 2 years after you finish your PHD 🤦

- #Farmers it is your turn. We are holding 2 focus groups in November to bring farmers together to shape science & technology. Please do join us at Norwich Research Park, 10th November forms.office.com/e/NHgYtsUNci Or at the Angel & Royal Hotel, Grantham, 11th November. forms.office.com/e/VJ2hTeedi8
- Although my invisible juggling didn't get the reception I was hoping for... 😂
- Can't beat focus group facilitator "jazz-hands"... Thank you York you were superb.
- 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 🌍✨
- Please share far and wide. If you're interested in & want to be involved in shaping science and technology. AND you are in #York on 8th October or #Newcastle on 22nd October. Then please come and join us. Sign up: York - forms.office.com/e/7fZqjUYHnx | Newcastle: forms.office.com/e/K1KG4M5GDd

- 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. #FocusGroup #Research #ScienceAndTechnology
- I'm transcribing. Research, actual research, lovely wonderful research. I forgot how much I enjoyed this. It's been a while. 😁
- 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.
- 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...
- Reposted by Ol Pritchard-MooreUltra-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 www.nature.com/articles/s41...
- Someone has broken the thermostat in Kent... 🥵
- In Canterbury, Kent on the 12th August? Fancy being part of a discussion about shaping science and technology? Then please join the Futuring Biological Commons team for a 2 and half hour focus group. Register your interest here forms.office.com/e/uQ7UHf05xs or email futuringcommons@kent.ac.uk
- 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....!
- Me after a cold and dismissive paper rejection: "A rite of passage passed" Supporting academic. "No, that's your life now.." 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" 👀
- A day of trawling EU policy supported by AnnenMayKantereit and specifically the album - Alles nix knonkretes. Another reminder to get back to the Babbel app and German lessons..! open.spotify.com/album/2Cq6fg...
