APPN ANU Division of Plant Sciences has been working with Botanic Gardens of Sydney to study the impact of drought stress on Myrtle rust disease resistance in paperbark seedlings. Read more about this fascinating conservation project: plantphenomics.org.au/could-drought-…

UCLA just sent riot police to beat up students who were screening a movie about how schools like UCLA sent riot police to beat up students supporting Palestine, on the one-year anniversary of UCLA calling riot police to beat up students supporting Palestine.

Touring Western Australia with C4 pioneer Rowan Sage, his student Arthur Leung, and our excellent tech Ellie Jordan. We are on a mission to collect seeds of native Oz C4 plants for next-gen research. Incredible landscape and 5,000+ km drive! Once-in-a-lifetime experience.
