Lovely (as always) to catch up with @bberger-au.bsky.social on a brief visit to sunny Adelaide. Check out the amazing #OzBarley resource open & available to the crop science community 🇦🇺

This looks super interesting! Hope it goes well 😊

Thanks Alison 😊

Dr @GunesTaylor is the editor of our magazine and clearly a fan of science since an early age! This is what she would share with a videoscope-loving young Gunes!

Young maritime pine trees retain a memory of early temperature conditions through epigenetic changes; marks persist for up to 2 years post-germination.

Discovery shows how trees could be conditioned to adapt to climate change.
