New UK Plant Science Community website – www.plantsci.org.uk These are exciting times for the Plant Science world. Finally, everyone who’s involved in Plant Science research can now find out what remarkable scientific breakthroughs have occurred, what the latest funding opportunities are and collaborate with other Scientists working in any area of Plant Science. All this has been made possible through the launch of the new PlantSci website - a unique central resource for the entire UK Plant Science community. PlantSci was developed by GARNet - a Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council-sponsored network set up to support Arabidopsis and the wider plant community. Plant Sci contains a plethora of resources relevant to those studying a wide variety of plant and crop species. This new community site is set to become an invaluable tool in the way it supports hundred’s of Plant Science Research Groups across the UK. The vision for UK Plant Science is to showcase the outstanding work that is being carried out across the UK and support Scientists with their day-to-day research. PlantSci does this by trawling the web for all the relevant Plant Science related information, so busy Scientists don’t have to. Precious research hours are no doubt wasted when trying to find the latest funding opportunities, or Scientists miss the boat because they are too busy at the bench, writing papers or grants and teaching. PlantSci presents all the current opportunities (available as an RSS feed), recently awarded grants, information on funding bodies and highlights all the must-attend upcoming events. The ‘Find a Scientist’ feature on PlantSci provides researchers with the opportunity to locate other Scientists around the UK and help promote collaboration. This is being well received by the community, who are registering their details every day on the growing directory of UK expertise in Plant and Crop Science. There is also the ability to tell the world about the excellent work occurring in any field of Plant Science. Professor Jim Beynon, University of Warwick believes that "the need to work as part of a collaborative network has never been greater as we can no longer hope to have all expertise in a single organisation. As the community sign up to this resource it will be invaluable tool for building new teams based around complementary skills.” PlantSci is a free and open resource for the whole community; it’s the perfect place for anyone who’s interested in the Plant Science world to learn more about this fascinating and flourishing space.

".. I generally refuse to sign such things on a personal level. If you want that signed, I'll go somewhere else - and if the work is done, what are you going to do? Now if I don't pay you, well that is a different matter"

"It's interesting though how many customers see any creature within their garden territory as an intruder . 
Fear of the unknown perhaps ? 
Must admit though the unfortunate  label of slow worm does them no favours . "

"to be fair, if they were unaware of what Slow Worms are, from the name alone, they might sound like a pest, like some outdoor type of tape worm"

Billybop replied to Brian's Garden Maintenance's discussion Clients contracts for wet Grass cutting
"hi Brian, the charge would essentially be doubled. Tripled even. Or something close to that. Depending on when I would be available to return. Especially on the big gardens which are not easy to reschedule. So there is no incentive for the customer…"
