helvella - diogenes documents

This document is a tribute to John Midgley - diogenes.

It lists as much of his published work as I have been able to find. Where possible, there are links to accessible copies.

The PDF of this document is here:

What a wonderful idea. 👍 Thank you so much for doing it. 👍

I was amazed at how many papers Dr. Midgley was involved in researching and publishing.

It has been on my "to do" list for ages.

Just needed my head to be in the right place to sit down, think it through, and actually do it.

What an impressive body of work!

And let's hope that his research will carry on and that there will be other researchers continuing to challenge the current thinking. I'll raise a glass to that!🍷

Thanks for making these publications available helvella , really appreciated!👍

That's a great idea. Only trouble is, I can't open the Dropbox file.

Can you tell me exactly what happens? And what you are using?

You do not need Dropbox software/apps at all.

Most members do not have Dropbox installed. The link should start a download which will go to your downloads folder (wherever that is) and then it usually opens - but sometimes you need to tell it to do so.

There is a huge number of videos on YouTube about how to view PDFs on Android. I don't have an Android device to use to check whether they are any good - but some will be OK!

If you have Google Chrome installed, I think that can view PDFs. It is a matter of telling your phone that is what you want to happen.

Do NOT go off downloading apps. Especially not Adobe PDF reader. It is awful! You probably have something that can display PDFs.

Thank you for taking the trouble to help. I don't know why, but when I emailed the downloaded file then clicked on 'open', I worked. There wasn't an option to "l'open with'.
