For all of you plant-microbe-soil interaction fans, we've a new USQ CCH seminar by Christina Birnbaum PhD🍃 on our Youtube Chanel! openplantpathology.org/posts/2022-06-… #OpenScience

👀 "The datasets and custom R scripts generated and/or analyzed in this study are available in the Figshare repository, doi.org/10.6084/m9.fig…" 🤩🙌 #ReproducibleResearch #OpenScience

Western Sydney Uni has a competitive PhD scholarship round open for a January start. If you are interested in applying for a project concerning (1) molecular signaling in chickpea disease resistance, or (2) plant signaling proteins involved in ectomycorrhizal symbiosis, DM me!

We're happy to support the Australasian Plant Pathology Society QLD of Plant Pathogens (APPS). Recordings of previous seminars are on our YouTube channel, youtube.com/playlist?list=… More information is available from our website as well, openplantpathology.org/#category:Qld-… #OpenScience

This is a great idea, one place to find all the seminars from the Qld branch of APPS. Well done Australasian Plant Pathology Society QLD Open Plant Pathology 👏🥳

Hear, hear!

Here be dragons! New technologies like AI and Machine Learning are fantastic tools, but we should proceed with caution and know how to properly use them. #ReproducibleResearch

Fantastic to see our interview with Sophien Kamoun being discussed again!

He will be missed!

Computational thinking and techniques are so central to the quest of understanding life that today all biology is computational biology. dx.plos.org/10.1371/journa…

The time invested in learning version control, e.g. Git, SVN, etc. is well worth it for many scientists that conduct computational research. It makes it easier to track your code changes and share your code too!

👀 New resource for #RStats users! A CRAN Task View for agriculture. Yes, it includes (a small) plant pathology section. Get busy and contribute, plant pathology community!

If you're interested in #PSHB responses from a biosecurity perspective, Dr Kylie B Ireland has shared her recent CCH_USQ seminar with us. It's available now on our YouTube channel. openplantpathology.org/posts/2022-10-…

Share your data (#FAIRdata) and your code!

We have a new blog post by Emerson Del Ponte. Fit nonlinear models in #rstats to infection as a function of temperature and wetness duration openplantpathology.org/posts/2022-10-…

Rice disease modelling in Julia!

The time has come, we’re now also on Mastodon, scicomm.xyz/@openplantpath… please join us!

New addition to the R4PDE book. A shiny app that allows to visualize the shapes of four population dynamics models by varying initial inoculum and infection rate. edelponte.shinyapps.io/epidemics/ Open Plant Pathology

Very cool new tool for plant disease severity training from Emerson Del Ponte at edelponte.shinyapps.io/traineR/ Choose leaf and lesion parameters and start training!
