Thanks for joining the webinar, Steph! Nice that we can still share our research, even when living on opposite sides of the world.
Thanks also to the @globalplantgpc.bsky.social and Functional Plant Biology for the invitation to present on my abiotic stress research. @csiropublishing.bsky.social

Thrilled to share our review exploring the future of controlled environment agriculture, both for farming in the face of climate change and as a tool for fundamental plant science! 🪴💡

Very much looking forward to ASPS this November in Adelaide! Always a great time connecting with plant scientists from across the country

The ARC CoE in Plants for Space (P4S, plants4space.com) are at #IAC2025 in Sydney! Members are speaking/chairing sessions all week, including our special session on Tues at 16.20 in C4.4 - Connecting Country to Deep Space: Ancient Lessons in Sustainability for Agriculture Beyond Earth.
Pleasure to meet and hear from NASA Emeritus Senior Scientist Ray Wheeler today! Ray is a wealth of knowledge on controlled environments for food and life support, having led the advanced life support research group. I'm lucky to be collaborating with him on LEAF which will grow plants on the moon🌿🌕
And had a fantastic presentation on photosynthetic induction from Liana! Motivating work ☀️⚡💡
Saved the best till last - really enjoyed today's gas exchange workshop with Yazen and Steven from @w-u-r.bsky.social at the 2025 PEPG Field Techniques Workshop. @sebiology.bsky.social
Can't wait to get stuck into some A-Ci curves and chlorophyll fluorescence once I'm back in Aus 🥳
PEPG Techniques Workshop 2025 going down a treat 🌿
Photos from yesterday's workshop on water relations and today's on chlorophyll fluorescence, as well as pastel de nata and Quinta horses @sebiology.bsky.social
📢Come work with us! We are looking for a Postdoctoral Research Associate for the ARIA-funded PlantPlug project🌱 Be part of pioneering work turning mistletoe into programmable plant biointerfaces🧬

Professor Susanne von Caemmerer FRS and Professor Graham Douglas Farquhar FRS are jointly awarded the Royal Medal (Biological) 2025 for refining the ways we monitor and model photosynthesis in leaves from molecular to global scales. #RSMedals https://royalsociety.org/medals-and-prizes/royal-medals/
Thank you!!
Amazingly, the first paper from my PhD was published during Plant Biology 2022 in Portland and now the final one has been published during #PlantBio2025 (although I'm sadly not at the conference this year)! @aspbofficial.bsky.social
#PlantScience
Pleased to share the fifth and final paper from my PhD - a collaboration with the APPN investigating industrial hemp growth and temporal water use using state-of-the-art phenotyping platforms. 🌿

Awesome! Can't wait to be at ASPB and meet all the other AFEs next year!
P4S had a visit from the Australian Space Agency (including astronaut Katherine Bennell-Pegg) last week. It was great to chat about my current research with the Lunar Effects on Agricultural Flora (LEAF) project - an Artemis III mission which will send plants to the moon! 🌿🚀🌕
Aleks from Vertical Future looking a little concerned before his parabolic flight tomorrow with our autonomous agriculture unit designed for ISS. This is an outcome of a grant from @ukspaceagency.bsky.social which I had the joy of participating with many partners in @plants4space.bsky.social
