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.

We've got an exciting (funded) opportunity for someone who wants to undertake a PhD in plant sciences -you'll work with the international #LEAF team on an Artemis III deployed instrument to understand how plants and their cell walls respond to lunar gravity. #plantsci #glycotime #space 🚀🌱

Having a fabulous if chilly time at the @keystonesymposia.bsky.social joint meeting on Future of Agriculture and Genetic Engineering for Sustainability. The science & discussions have been fabulous. I finally got to try an engineered tomato from Cathie Martin/Norfolk Healthy Produce - delicious! 🍅🧬

Congratulations 👏 to the award winners at our Future Agriculture and Genetic Engineering meeting: Ryan A. Edwards, @alexanderhoward.bsky.social, @subah.bsky.social, Abraham Steinberger, Sophia Tomatz & @prof-gozde.bsky.social. #KSFutureAg25 #KSSustainFuture25 #keystonesymposia #keystoneconferences

About time I reshared this. Over 50 on the list now but so many still missing from the old place. Spread the word. go.bsky.app/AiLTKHH

Today is launch day. For my bsky account but also for my brave Wolffia phytonauts who will be experiencing microgravity on a DLR sounding rocket very shortly! The northern lights are putting on a wonderful show at Esrange 🇸🇪 while we wait. #plants4space
