Need help!!! Are there any EHU students around tomorrow (Tuesday) to help me with a harvest? If so, please email me: [email protected] Sorry, it's a last minute one. Thanks!!

We’re rooting for a pioneering new group of researchers, growers and manufacturers, led by Sven Batke, Reader in Plant Science at Edge Hill University, who aim to improve food production in the UK by unlocking the potential of greenhouses 🥬: orlo.uk/Cxou8 #EHUResearch



Finally done. Amongst other data, we counted over 65,000 tomato flowers! We had students, technicians and even two biomed lecturers helping. Thank you all! 🍅🍅🌱🌱🌱😍 Edge Hill University Edge Hill Research Office

Nice day World Museum 🌎 with the BPS. Some interesting talks. It was also nice to be able to present an update on our fern work in Honduras. David Edge Hill University Edge Hill Research Office @Dalli_SciNat GeraldineR


Just finished counting all the vascular epiphytes in Ruff Wood: Out of 645 oaks, only 23 had epiphytes—all but three were Polypodium, with three surprise accidental Dryopteris! Interesting that no other tree species had ferns on them. Edge Hill University


This morning our second year's are processing their bark and soil samples for analysis. Can we detect bark leaching? Edge Hill University
