We are the TPG at Scuola Sant'Anna.
Located in Pisa, Italy🇮🇹, but in love with global agrobiodersity🌽, quant genetics🧬, and climate-crop interactions☀️
We’re thrilled to announce “FFWD-Plants”, a hands-on #seasonal #school on #agrobiodiversity and #quantitative #genetics organized by our group!

🌍 Pisa, Italy
📅 April 13–17, 2026
🎓 FREE (20 student)
🧬 Internationally experts in the field

We mourn the passing of our Editor-in-Chief Steve Long.

His vision to establish one of the first journals dedicated to Global Change over 30 years ago was truly ahead of its time. Through GCB, researchers have demonstrated that biology and ecosystems are not simply victims of global change..
