The preprint of my second first-author paper (with
@nikcunniffe.bsky.social) is out! Read to find out how virus-resistant companion plants can control spread of non-persistently transmitted plant viruses: www.cabidigitallibrary.org/doi/10.31220...

My talk at the Plant Pathology conference #PPATH24 won the PH Gregory Prize for best student talk! Thanks to @BS_PP for organizing such a great conference

I’ve been in Spain this week to give a talk on my PhD work at the European Conference on Mathematical and Theoretical Biology. Thanks to the organisers for hosting such a great event in the (very very) sunny Toledo! #ECMTB24

The preprint of my very first first-author paper (with @nikcunniffe) is out!! Have a read to find out why models of non-persistent plant virus transmission should include aphid vector dispersal and feeding behaviours @cambridgesbs @plantsci @CaiusCollege

doi.org/10.31220/agriR…

Talk completed! I had a great time talking about my and @nikcunniffe ‘s model, and how virus-induced plant phenotypes can affect aphid behavior and virus transmission. Takeaway = remember to model the vector! Thanks @MikabAley + @UnderGardener1 for your excellent questions #iew13

Great to be at the 13th International Epidemiology Workshop in Brazil! Interesting first day of talks; I’m excited to present my work tomorrow morning on modelling aphid behavior to understand NPT virus manipulation of host plants #iew13

Recently I did a poster + flash talk at the British Crop Production Council Diseases Review 2023 - was super interesting to hear diverse perspectives on balancing food security and environmental responsibility! Photo below of me and the other presenters 🥬

My final presentation of conference season approaches! Tomorrow (Thurs) I'll be talking about my work at #ICPP2023 in the "Modelling and analysis to better understand and predict epidemics" session at 8:30 - come along! My talk nicely follows up @nikcunniffe's great talk on Tues.

From one conference to another! I’m in Lyon for #ICPP2023. Currently at the #episense satellite meeting, focused on integrating remote sensing and epidemiological modelling for disease control, where I’m presenting a poster of my work. Watch this space for details of my talk!

I’m in Denver in the US, ready to give a talk at #PlantHealth2023! I’m speaking in the “Interesting Topics in Virology” technical session at 12:30 tomorrow (Sunday) - come along to learn about modelling aphid feeding behaviors in epidemiological models!
