Wholeheartedly agree!! His views on evolution, the magic of superior nature, and the despicable poaching... His voice is full of great passion and admiration to plant; LOVE this vid 「This Tiny Succulent Will Teach You How Plants Evolve https://t.co/dIgAgL4CKo via @YouTube

A great 6-day workshop by @edgenome on Intro to Python! 🐍 It was so helpful, enjoyable and informative - really taught me to start to think like a disciplined programmer. Many thanks to all the organisers and particularly our chief demonstrator Tim Booth👏🏻 #scicomic
