Looking forward to attending the International Conference of the German Society for Plant Sciences in Halle, Germany, next week. Glad to be attending as a plenary speaker and look forward to connecting with everyone. Learn about the event: botanik-tagung.de

opening lecture by Giles E D Oldroyd 🏳️‍🌈 on symbiotic plant-microbial interactions #bt2024dbg

A pan-European field study including 588 sites from 27 countries has observed a positive association between nitrogen-fixing bacteria, mycorrhizal fungi and cropland and grassland productivity. Check it out from Ferran Romero and others in @nature: bit.ly/3XnyCjo

Equal pay for women isn't just a fairness issue – it's essential for fostering growth, innovation, and diversity. By ensuring everyone is paid equitably, we can finally unlock people's potential, drive progress, and build a more inclusive workforce. #EqualPayDay #EqualityForAll

Gender parity can be advanced through formal measures like quotas and policies and informal factors such as professional networks, according to World Economic Forum 👇 bit.ly/3Mrd0MW

Excited to be joining the ENSA Interim Science Meeting at Cambridge University this week. Besides discussions around our work, the science meeting is an opportunity to engage once more with the ENSA scientists working to transform global agriculture for good.

The International Conference on Legume Genetics and Genomics commences today! I hope it's a great conference for anyone joining in Queensland, Australia. Learn more about the conference here: iclgg2024.org

Join my plenary session next week at #ICBPI2024 to discuss ways to achieve sustainable productivity in agriculture through beneficial microbial associations. Looking forward to engaging with scientists from around the globe. Register before Oct 16: icbpi2024.entsz.org.cn/registration.h…

Gibberellin acts as a positive regulator of nodule growth to help legumes maximise #NitrogenFixation to increase their chances of survival during nutrient scarcity. Learn more from our recent paper with Colleen Drapek, Katharina Schiessl and others: bit.ly/3Y0lsrK

Honoured to have received the CAS President’s International Fellowship Initiative award in recognition of years of research on plant-microbe interactions. My utmost gratitude, once again, to the ENSA and Crop Science Centre teams!

Pleased to have attended the World Life Science Conference in Baoa, China, over the weekend. These moments of sharing knowledge remind me how important it is for scientists to work together to ensure a sustainable and equitable world for everyone. #WLSC2024

Plant science drives sustainable development and advances in food security in more ways than we could imagine. Investing in research focused on crop productivity ensures progress in addressing global challenges and feeding the world. #WorldScienceDay #PlantScience

Climate discussions must prioritise agricultural innovations, such as maximising #NitrogenFixation, that can sustainably restore soil health and increase yields. This can contribute to climate mitigation and adaptation while securing global food systems #COP29 #ClimateAction

Congratulations to Giles E D Oldroyd 🏳️‍🌈 who has made it to the Clarivate top 1% most highly cited researcher list every year since 2013! 👏👏👏#HighlyCited2024

Interesting discussion by UF Space Plants on how plants are the key to the future of sustainable human space exploration. Worth the listen ⬇️ nasa.gov/podcasts/houst… Gioia Massa

The 2025 Keystone Symposia will take place from January 20 to 23 in Keystone, the US. Looking forward to insights to be gained, especially on advances in plant science that are transforming agricultural practice, productivity and sustainability. #KSFutureAg25

Renowned plant geneticist Dr. Giles Oldroyd will join the Danforth Center as its next President! Read the full release: danforthcenter.org/news/internati…

I am proud to announce I will be the next Danforth Center President starting in October. I will continue leading ENSA but reduce my research activities. Plant science is key to sustainable, secure food. I am excited to drive that push at this prestigious organization.
