Very sad to say farewell to Tammy as she finalises the last of our 2024 #OzBarley samples before she heads back to China.
It has been such a joy having her as a member of our team @scienceanu.bsky.social working on improving cereal root & stem architecture!

Over the past month it has been awesome to host Salvador Carranza from Inifap in Mexico as a visiting scientist @scienceanu.bsky.social.
He has been sharing his skills & enthusiasm with us while also getting involved with some of the wheat & barley phenotyping approaches we’re developing 🌱
