1/9 I am excited to share our pre-print on spatial transcriptomics in wheat spikes in collaboration with @AshleighSLister. Using MERFISH, we resolved the expression of 200 genes to cellular resolution. Check out the pre-print 👉tinyurl.com/c7t3kncf

Incredibly deserved!! @NikolaiAdamski you have so many incredible qualities, plus infinite scientific knowledge!! - I feel so lucky to work with you day to day – at Victoria, Australia
These two absolute legends of @JohnInnesCentre getting the recognition they so deserve. You could not imaging two more supportive and caring mentors who just happen to also be outstanding scientists than Andy and Nik

We knew him before he was famous!
Huge congratulations to the amazing Oscar Carey-Fung @oojfung, a very deserving best student talk award winner #IWC2024Perth 🏅
BIG thanks to @rajvarshney and all organisers and funders for this massive opportunity to present at #IWC2024Perth - This has allowed me to complete a goal I set 3 years ago (when I had fear of public speaking). What I didn't foresee is that I would end it with a big smile... – at Perth, Western Australia

Another great talk with super visuals from @CristobalUauy lab @JohnInnesCentre PhD student @ifacisabel on Temperature and photoperiod interaction: Releasing aerial branching in wheat #IWC2024Perth

And that’s a wrap!
What a fantastic Early Career Researcher super-session #IWC2024Perth highlighting the wheat stars & science of the future 🌾 💫

Important to highlight the scale of the N challenge #IWC2024Perth
If we want to achieve a net zero future for ag we need apply what we already know + design new (bio) solutions.
Looking forward to your talk tomorrow @ifacisabel!
And Dr. @AlisonRBentley remarks one of our biggest challenges that we need to focus on... Nitrogen Use Efficiency improvement and improved management, towards net zero

To finish with Day 2 #IWC2024Perth insights, Dr. @ferdreccer explains how the thermally safe window for growing wheat is narrowing down. All these insights today do make me reflect again on how we need to work together towards adaptation, but more importantly towards prevention – at Perth, Western Australia
Great plenary talk at #IWC2024Perth from Dr. @Dixon_LE exemplifying neatly how understanding the genes in the vernalization network can help moving towards climate-proof wheat varieties. Amazing job Dom Hirsz (and all the team @tweeticum) – at Perth, Western Australia
Wrapped an exciting day 1 at #IWC2024Perth. I particularly enjoyed learning about Aegilops diversity from Dr. Sylvie Cloutier and about the huge impact of plants on the atmospheric CO2 concentration from Dr. @CharlotteRambla
