Welcoming new Masters student Chuhao to the team @scienceanu.bsky.social.
Hao is continuing our exciting work characterising molecular to phenotypic responses to cold plasma seed treatment in wheat for application towards reducing N fertiliser inputs in Australian production 🌾

Great to have a visit from Christine Raines @scienceanu.bsky.social today. Excellent talk highlighting the potential to engineer improvements in photosynthesis & the need for more understanding of effects across multiple environments & seasons

Thank you Ute Roessner for your inspiring, inclusive & pragmatic leadership!
So excited to see you become the next CEO of the Australian Research Council although we’ll greatly miss having you as a supporter & champion of science and innovation at ANU!

Our barley queen!
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 🌱

2024 has been a year of new beginnings so it seems fitting that my first @bsky.app post is to celebrate the wonderful team that have joined me to start our new crop science adventures @scienceanu.bsky.social.
Excited for what’s to come!
