Hi everyone! 🍃 Isabel Faci here @ifacisabel - excited to take over this account for 3 weeks. I'm a third year PhD student in Cristobal Uauy's lab at the @JohnInnesCentre, where I study photoperiod and temperature interactions and their effects on wheat development. (1/2)

I so enjoyed listening to the illuminata podcasts over the last year…. except for this one 🫣😅but thank you so much @CharlotteRambla @CrisDom96 for the insightful questions! It’s hard to stop me once I’m allowed to talk about wheat, barley and their wild relatives 🌾🌾
Listen to our latest episode with @a_bakinghouse 🌾 Join the conversation about exploring the crucial role of gene banks in safeguarding genetic diversity and their impact on crop improvement!
