Had my first teaching session in here today. Great new facility (even if most of the PCRs didn't work for the class 🙁)

Grateful for the opportunity to talk about what's happening belowground to a room (marquee tent) of mostly plant folk. I think my fingers are trying to resemble hyphal networks and remind me of the way @FungusProf talked about decomposers in my undergrad lectures 20 years ago.
Now we are hearing from those working on the Ainsdale Dune #LTE with a series of lightning talks where they will share some of their research findings starting with Fay Voller @FVoller from @edgehill. @AinsdaleNNR @NaturalEngland @NENorthWest #AinsdaleNNR

When you are told that your collaborators are bringing waders (which you think are probably not necessary) and diving kit (when you know they must be taking the proverbial) to a site. Then you see the site. Wet winter!
