@LSRNetwork Greta to see the return of the live, face-to-face LSRN conference. Will be good to see us exchanging again - between all parts of our wonderfully varied sector plus HE and the many bodies and agencies supporting it.

@LSRNetwork Great to see this new series of R&D events every two monthis. It marks a great step forward for LSRN, building on its tradition of cross-sector collaboration, while taking advantage of today's online technology.

@andrewmorris110 Another science blog for anyone with curiosity. No maths, no technical language. Starting with mules on a Greek island it explores what we mean by species, cultivars and varieties.

@JFletcherSaxon @amy_woodrow1 @k_pogson @Nim_Knott @LSRNetwork @EduKayte @WildeJuels @rachedu A great day for LSRN - celebrating 25 years and getting together in person after 2 1/2 years to re-energise ourselves and think about the next stage. Thanks to Jo Fletcher-Saxon and Rachel Terry for making it happen... and to all the convenors for taking LSRN forward.

@DavidPowellHud @JFletcherSaxon Just spotted this today. Good to hear, David. In the 70s I did a PhD at Leeds and we biophysics students were indebted to a brilliant technician from Mytholmroyd, called Don Akrigg. He was proud of his town, which he told me about and from which he commuted in every day.
