Conker Tree Science: Our conker trees are going extinct ...Really?
http://conkertreescience.blogspot.com/2016/10/our-horse-chestnut-trees-are-going.html
Monday, 17 October 2016. Our conker trees are going extinct .Really? There has been reporting in the past few days about how our "horse-chestnut trees have only 15 years left", or some variation of that theme. It sounds dramatic, but is it true? Well, horse-chestnut trees won't be extinct in 15 years, or 30 years, you can be reassured about that. But, they are. But then the data from thousands of people in the Conker Tree Science. Citizen science project quantified the levels of damage. Across the countr...

Conker Tree Science: October 2012
http://conkertreescience.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 16 October 2012. And another word cloud. This time I've produced a wordle of the comments made by people who took part in the Mission: pest controllers. The size of each word is proportional to its frequency in the comments we received. It's heartening to see large words like 'interesting', 'enjoyable' and 'good'. We looked very closely and found the word 'boring', but it was tiny! The wordle of comments received by people who took part in the mission: pest controllers. Thursday, 11 October 2012.
