Deadline extended. Funded PhD studentship at Edge Hill University with a wonderful Cumbrian field site. Please share.

Herbaceous borders 4 ever

Two PhD studentships @edgehill with @RSPBScience supervised by @Upland_Grazing, @FVoller, and colleagues

After a 26 hr travel day I have the luxury of waiting an extra two hours for my bags bc @emirates has proved unsuccessful at moving items from one airport to the other (their job). Cherry on top is the refusal to pay for a taxi which would have forgiven such a cockup.

New Glassman lab paper led by my former PhD student @Pulido_Fabi! Some of you may remember the Stirling Ultracold freezer saga of 2020. Well.c we made lemonade out of lemons! If this happens to you don’t rush to throw everything away.
