Sister-in-law's Marianne Lee book #AQuietTide is one of best debuts The Irish Times 2020 👉 tender fictionalisation of the first famous Irish Botanist 🍀 Ellen Hutchins 🌿🌴🌻🌹 New Island Books

We are very pleased to have collaborated to this great work by #CyrilSaintenac. This shows that BAC library approaches in combination with long reads sequencing remains fully relevant for large and complex genome such as that of bread wheat. 🌱🧬 #BAClibrary #sequencing #wheat

This evening from 7pm Clodagh Finn, now on Instagram and myself will discuss 19th century botanist #EllenHutchins and writing about ‘Quiet History’ – the lives and achievements of lesser known Irish women – in fiction and non-fiction. Hosted by National Library of Ireland. Join us! nli.ticketsolve.com/shows/11736067…
