The @JamesHuttonInst @best_crop project team produced very cool stickers to promote our work using the Germinate database. Find out more here: https://t.co/D5P4MLRapa

Join our @BreedingValue webinar tomorrow morning at 9:30am GMT where @bazraubach will talk about the work we have been doing at @jameshuttoninst on creating a central @GerminateHub database to store experiemental data. More info https://t.co/MsatubO0Y9

We (@BazRaubach and I) have been running training today on @GerminateHub and #gridscore at the @emblebi training course 'Plant genomes: from data to discovery'. Participants from all around the world learning about the tools we develop at @IntBarleyHub @JamesHuttonInst

We've got some exciting new features coming in the next big release of #GridScore like providing trait reference images, self-hosting a GridScore server and new export formats! Stay tuned for the new release soon. #phenotyping #bioinformatics @HuttonICS https://t.co/G1RJ6JimnZ

As part of an upcoming new release of #Germinate, we're looking into spider/radar charts. These are very useful for sensory data, but are also more generally useful for #trials data.

That's all for now! But there'll be many more things to look forward to in the near future, so keep an eye out! In the meantime, why not check out the new cow trial or any of the other new features? 7/7 https://t.co/G1RJ6JimnZ

⛶ A new setting will let you choose if you want the stepper buttons next to a whole number input to be bigger. This can be useful if you're using it for counting. We're working on adding vibration feedback as well. 📳 6/7

🗓️ The trait data history view has been updated to fix issues and show the historic data in a more useful way. 5/7

🗺️ A new example trial has been added showcasing the new GPS trait as well as a different use-case for GridScore where we scored data on cows. 4/7

🏷️Two new trait types have been added in the form of a GPS trait and an image trait. These let you record the GPS position of an entity and take pictures of it respectively. 3/7

📈 We've added a germplasm performance page so you can see how a particular germplasm compares to the rest of the trial on a trait by trait basis. 2/7

Happy to announce another update to #GridScore for even more #phenotyping goodness. Have a look through the thread for more details. https://t.co/G1RJ6JimnZ 1/7

A new version of #GridScore is out. Check out this 🧵for some highlights! #phenotyping #boldcwr @CropTrust @HuttonICS 1/6

We only just released a new version with lots of features, but development never stops! Next feature coming soon is a germplasm performance page showing how well a germplasm performs against the rest of the trial per trait. #phenotyping #GridScore

Great blog from @BazRaubach, who was invited to present his work on #bioinformatics research software development, at @LeibnizIPK. The visit included a tour of the PhenoSphere – chambers in which environmental conditions can be strictly controlled. More: https://t.co/qsf2Hq4JOM

Why not check out the new version? 3/3

Thanks to our collaboration with @lucernebreeder as part of #BoldCWR @CropTrust we have added support for highlighting of controls/checks in the data input as well as visualizations. Thanks to @MichaelMajorMed for the last photo. 2/3

We have released a new version of #GridScore. A new statistical overview over you trials shows active periods, area covered and much more. We also added support for defining trial contributors and their responsibilities. #phenotyping @JamesHuttonInst @CropTrust 1/3

Thanks to everyone turning up to my presentation at @LeibnizIPK where I talked about #GridScore, @GerminateHub and #Helium for genotypic, phenotypic, and pedigree data and highlighted why expecting "Everything everywhere all at once" from an #RSE is unrealistic.
