533/1200 samples processed. Can I make it half way by Christmas? #phdchat #science #conservation
JamesBorrell:
Hi @silverstickuk, any adventures this weekend!?
JamesBorrell:
Crossing Regents Canal and heading North on the. Victoria Line. #verymicroadventure
JamesBorrell:
Was just flicking through the latest British Ecological Society Bullitin, and saw this! #INT13
JamesBorrell:
Giving a talk for @Brit_exploring in foggy London this evening. Some great questions so far, like "have remote communities in Peru heard of or experienced climate change?" Great to have a room full of interested and enthusiastic students. #explore
JamesBorrell:
Malagasy wood engraving on an old rainmaker. It's supposed to be filled with cactus spines and crushed sea shells, anyone have any idea if that's true!? #madagascar #music
JamesBorrell:
I wrote last week about the rewards for speaking in schools... when they write to you afterwards, then head off on expeditions of their own etc etc. Very satisfying! ... But I forgot to mention this type of reward, from the kind staff and students at City
JamesBorrell:
Just getting ready for scientists from all over Europe to arrive here at the Linnean Society. #Fraxback
JamesBorrell:
It's going to be a good day. Data! #science #conservation #labandfield
JamesBorrell:
Yesterday we walked from North Action to West Ruislip. Not the most riveting of routes, but it does mean we've now walked the entire Central line, and can tick it off along with the District, Circle and Hammersmith & City lines. Things you do for a bit of
JamesBorrell:
Wish we were back in Istanbul, can't quite make it like they do. #Turkey
JamesBorrell:
@huwmjames doing a cracking one minute pitch on @anturus - awesome educational resource! #explore2013
JamesBorrell:
Great to see a research poster from @QMUL at #explore2013 @RGS_IBG
JamesBorrell:
Taking a quick coffee break in Pimlico. #microadventure
JamesBorrell:
"Comfort kills ambition", brilliant motivation to Say Yes More from Dave Cornthwaite. #Explore2013
JamesBorrell:
Enjoyed telling the students this morning about the amazing variety of friends you can make on expeditions. They come in all shapes and sizes, and species! #explore #school #speaking #talks #dogs #friends
JamesBorrell:
Currency from a country that doesn't really exist (don't tell them I said that!) Can anyone guess where? #travel
JamesBorrell:
Behind the scenes research, this is what scientists do all day. #science #labandfield #conservation
JamesBorrell:
Prepping plant samples from Beinn Enaiglair for DNA extraction in the warmth of the lab (reminiscing on the Ullapool hangover and biting Northern wind on the day I collected them). #fieldwork #conservation
JamesBorrell:
Another day in paradise! #PhDchat
JamesBorrell:
Last year I got the chance to speak in lots of lovely schools, encouraging the students to head off on expeditions. I spent this evening listening to some of those same students give talks on their experiences, grinning with pride at all the amazing thing
JamesBorrell:
Picked up some flyers today from the nice folks @Brit_Exploring ready for some school talks. (they look great, I just have a vintage iPhone camera!)
JamesBorrell:
Looks like a full house for Will Millard @RGS_IBG
JamesBorrell:
Chilling in the lab, whilst London lives up to its reputation as fog city. #science #lab
JamesBorrell:
I've still got three reindeer teeth sitting on my bedside table. Seemed like a great souvenir at the time, now not sure what to do with them. At least my girlfriend doesn't find it too creepy... #lapland
JamesBorrell:
Came across this chap in a Yerevan basement today. Wonder how old he is? #Armenia #wildlife
JamesBorrell:
A somewhat surreal experience sat in Yerevan's Republic Square this evening watching the singing fountains blast away with 50 foot jets of water, in time to Star Wars and James Bond theme tunes...! A highlight of the trip? Definitely. Should we get some i
JamesBorrell:
In my element today exploring forested hillsides in Tsaghkadzor. #armenia
JamesBorrell:
A dawn view of Mount Ararat speeding past the train window. No sign of Noah's Arc, but we do have pretty much an entire carriage of Armenians debating on the best way for us to find out hotel. #hospitality #Armenia #caucasus
JamesBorrell:
I met a Saudi man in the mountains today, who was intrigued to know why we were in Georgia when England is so green and pleasant. 'I live in a desert!' he said, so his reason was valid. All I could muster was the simple fact that we knew nothing about Geo
