Last week, we posted a few potato-related theses, and to cap it all off, we have an excellent guest blog post from Dr Kerry Leslie, who has one of the coolest job titles ever as a potato consultant. Take a look at her post at our blog! openresearch.wp.st-andrews.ac.uk/2026/05/a-ca...

Another day, another potato thesis... 🍟 Today, resistance may not be so futile, at least in the case of Moray Smith's 2025 PhD thesis, which attempts to identify novel resistance genes to battle potato cyst nematodes and other plagues upon our tatties! 🥔🥔🥔 doi.org/10.17630/sta...

In the lead-up to International Day of Potato, we're highlighting some potato-related St Andrews theses! Today, we point to James Price's 2019 PhD thesis analysing the surfaces of potato cyst nematodes—wormy critters who, like the best of us, like to feast on tatties. 🥔👉 doi.org/10.17630/100...

Did you know it's International Day of Potato this Saturday, 30 May? 🥔🥔🥔 To celebrate, we'll be linking to potato-related, @uniofstandrews.bsky.social theses throughout the week! To kick things off though, here's a portrait of a very serious potato. collections.st-andrews.ac.uk/item/potato-...

'Potato Head'.

Humorous oval 'portrait' of vegetable or stone shaped like human head, resting on cloth draped like jacket and collar.
