The unique delicacy of the first forced rhubarb of the season 😍

OK. So no apologies for posting/reposting major historical events & being alarmed.

But just to note how I am trying to find peace... thar would be in sowing seeds, pricking out & potting up... glorious allotment weekend.

Me reading this morning's news.

My own humble contribution from an older samsung phone. Taken in gorgeous Hangzhou early December.

OK. Just spit-balling here... but what about:

Democracy not Fascism?

BRAVO to the university I am proud to remain a Visiting Prof at.

PLEASE can @liverpooluni.bsky.social follow suit.

We analysed #nutrition posts on X using social network analysis, finding a scattered network where information flow depends on a few key influencers, mostly non-nutrition professionals & non-profit accounts.

An incredible honor & privilege to present our work to members of Chinese CDC and colleagues from Zhejiang University in Hangzhou yesterday, during the final workshop of our BBSRC GCRF funded work on the Double Burden of Malnutrition.

My first trip to China has been beyond extraordinary.

Painfully early arrival, along with gorgeous realtively mild day facilitated a great day to tourism.

But highlight was meeting up w my PhD student Xiaoying & sharing incredible mushroom hotpot experience. Ultimate 'leaning in' to our research on Ergothioneine. Eat your #mushrooms folks.

So. Up early this morning because, very excitedly, heading to China for the first time. While an end of grant workshop the catalyst, I am 'leaning in' to tourism on either side if it! So I may be quieter for a bit, but I'll be back!

Last harvest of Pusa Jawala & Cayenne peppers from plants overwintered last year that were super productive this year.
