Great to have contributed to this new data set of genetic variation of Monterey pine (Pinus radiata) trees across the globe as part of the UCC Arboretum Research Group. The dataset will be used to learn more about this globally important tree species.

Very happy to see this nice piece of work online, led by superstar postdoc Mariana Tarallo. A great collaboration between the teams at @bioprotection.bsky.social/Massey University and the James Hutton Institute!

#OurFridaySeminar: Scott Heslop presents his Master's thesis on "Role of effectors in the Kauri Dieback pathosystem", that was supervised by Rosie Bradshaw, @carlmesarich.bsky.social & @rmcdougal.bsky.social

“Why Are We Funding This?” Long-standing myths about “silly science” have contributed to the reckless slashing of government-supported research.

Welcome to the Bioeconomy Science Institute - formed by the merging of AgResearch, @manaakiwhenua.bsky.social, Plant & Food Research and Scion.

We’re here to grow a resilient, sustainable bioeconomy — through innovation, collaboration and science that delivers real-world impact. 🌱

Great news - we will be searching for a tree physiologist (tenure track) to join the Department of Forest and Conservation Sciences, UBC Forestry, later this year. Stay tuned! (Please share.)

Illustration about microbes on plant surface

Lots of different types of microbes live on plant surfaces. How do these microbes cope with challenging circumstances?

We are looking for a PhD candidate to find out more about this.
