Vos poitrines superbes

Hugely honored to attend Professor Ryohei Terauchi's @ryoheiterauchi lecture at Kyoto University @KyotoU_News.
What a spectacular career exploring crop evolution and molecular plant pathology / immunity. And a lasting impact on many Early Career Scientists.
The International Symposium on Cereal Leaf Blights isclb.com/registration in beautiful Banff from May 26-29 is approaching with a deadline for early registration/oral abstract due on March 31. @wheatinitiative.bsky.social
Early bird registration closing soon (31st March) for this years International Symposium on Cereal Leaf Blights ISCLB2026 to be held in Banff. I am devastated to miss out due to schedule conflicts but it's sure to be an amazing meeting!
If you have the opportunity, apply for the TSL @thesainsburylab.bsky.social Summer Conference. An intense week with top experts in plant-microbe interactions. What you can learn here in a week would normally take months (or longer)!!! @kamounlab.bsky.social 🦠🔬🌱
