What a cracking talk by @Lucy_Egan_ from @CSIRO about the complexity of breeding cotton for resistance to verticillium wilt, & ways to untange this complexity
🦠🌱🧬
No only does she give a great talk, but she’s also on the #AACS conference banner. 🤩

Meet Guna Nachimuthu, one of the incredible nominees for the CSD Researcher of the Year award. Guna has dedicated his research to unraveling the mysteries behind yield variability in cotton fields, his innovative approach assists growers in better managing their fields!🎉
So excited that our ARC Training Centre in Predictive Breeding for Agricultural Futures has been funded!
The Centre involved 7 unis, 30 partner orgs, and will train 31 PhDs, 7 Postdocs and advance predictive breeding methodology across 21 agriculturally important species
The ARC is pleased to announce more than $64m in funding for 13 new Industrial Transformation Training Centres and Research Hubs, commencing in 2023.

What more can a field breeder ask for...?
A group of people together in a room, all keen on plants, passionate about crop improvement, and with the data wrangling skills to match.
🤩
Enjoyed facilitating a planning workshop of CSIRO’s powerhouse Crop Data Science Group. An amazing capability of leading edge ML, AI & diverse data analytics applied to phenomics, genomics for crop breeding with many broader uses across agriculture and food #FutureCrops
What an amazing & satisfying experience talking with Dr Michael Freelander MP about science & it’s importance to society!
From the science behind digital health, plant breeding & gambling reform, the discussion with @SimoneNicoleM and @LeannaWoods2016 was cracking!

ALT Dr Warren Conaty (CSIRO), Dr Michael Freelander (MP), Dr Simone McCarthy (Deakin University) and Dr Lee Woods (Digital Health CRC Ltd.).
Incredible opportunity to talk gambling reform with Dr Mike Freelander at Science Meets Parliament today with @WarrenConaty and @LeannaWoods2016#SMP2023
CSIRO’s opened it's new facilities at the ACRI Narrabri yesterday! We are a #proudsupporter of this project. A big thanks to the team at CSIRO that made this happen! Read more here - hubs.li/Q01CmNsd0
