Farewell lunch with Roberta Samara Sousa Caridi from the @University of Reggio Calabria and @Andrea Tonanzi from the Sapienza Università di Roma following their 3-month training visits. It was a true pleasure to host them both!

What an experience it was to join the Green-G conference in Lisbon! Thanks to the very kind invitation of CristinaSilvaPereira, I participated in a meeting that made me think outside the box and meet people who truly believe in blue sky research! Very excited for things to come!

New paper out, examining the effect of recurring drought conditions on anthocyanins biosynthesis of ‘Syrah’ grapes as part of a BSc thesis project. Special thanks to Koundouras Stefanos for the smooth collaboration! Link: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Busy week, participating in back-to-back Doctoral Committees for Sapienza Università di Roma and Università di Firenze. Congratulations to all 13 doctoral candidates! A special thanks goes to Simone Ferrari and Prof. Carlo Viti for the kind invitations.

New article published, discussing priming approaches for plant thermotolerance. This is a collaborative effort with a common goal: to make crops stronger in the face of rising temperatures. Special thanks to Fragkostefanakis Lab for the excellent coordination! royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/abs/10.109…

Congratulations to Ioanna for her first poster presentation, representing the group at the 3rd Pancypriot Conference with research carried out for the FREEPOT project on the development of priming technologies for potato crop protection against freezing stress!

Warm welcome to visiting students Olga Vaccarella from Uniba.it Aldo Moro (supervised by Dr. Federico Vita), and Bruno Nogueira Santos from Universidade do Porto (supervised by Prof. Fernanda Fidalgo), as well as our new MSc project student Ioannis Hadjineofytou!

It was wonderful to return to Politechnika Łódzka to deliver a keynote presentation at the 4th BACIF Conference. Great to see many collaborators, as well as Weronika Slizewska and Natalia Rutkowska who recently carried out a PhD training placement in our group.
