Dr Frances Sussmilch just delivered a great talk on mechanisms controlling stomatal movements in diverse land plants IPMB2024

My pleasure to give a talk IPMB2024 about my research lewsey lab La Trobe Agriculture, Biomedicine & Environment on understanding seed dormancy release using scRNAseq.

Amazing conference, getting to know and catching up with people! Still couldn’t believe I was given a talk at IPMB2024 for a very interesting session. Thanks Dr Frances Sussmilch and Jazmine Humphreys for the amazing action picts.

So cool to see so many University of Tasmania projects and collaborations presented from Christopher Ray Dr Frances Sussmilch Hanh Minh Vo Brian Atwell as well as seeing our work with Franziska Fichtner come together (all the way from Germany!)

Top 10% 🤯 thank you to all my readers and fans 🤩 and to New Phytologist for this wonderful update #TopDownloadedArticle

Here are some of our models helping explain why some countries experienced higher SARS CoV 2 mortality than others. TLDR: urbanization, GDP and patterns of endemic disease play a role. link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Happy to share my latest paper The Plant Journal that reveals direct molecular links between mitochondrial and chloroplast retrograde signaling. Thank you wonderful collaboration with n/a Cunman He (Frank) Whelan lab doi.org/10.1111/tpj.16…

Proud supervisor moment: Hanh Minh Vo gave her final PhD seminar today

It was an exciting week, and the big milestone is completed! Cannot thank Dr Frances Sussmilch enough, she is an amazing supervisor.

Dear student members of the Australian Society of Plant Scientists (ASPS), The editorial team of Phytogen, the Society's journal/newsletter, is looking for student contributors to highlight the amazing work that PhD students are doing across Australia. 1/4

Two new editions of Phytogen are out now: asps.org.au/archives/40429 includes: - An update from Plant-Microbe Interactions representative Dr Stephanie Watts-Fawkes -Student travel grant reports from Hanh Minh Vo, Linh Ton, Juel Datta, Ejiro Evivie, Muhammad A. Mahmood, Zane Marks 1/2

I recognised I have a huge privilege in my ability to do Science in my second language with limited problem. However my research is still limited to mostly English audience. So I will translate my thesis abstract. Please do the same if you can. theconversation.com/who-gets-to-do…
