My lab is looking for a bioinformatician post-doc scientist for four years. Please DM/email me for more info.
Minimum annual salary: $60K + benefits.
Bit of a garden tidy up and found some of love-in-a-mist (Nigella damascena) seed heads full of germinating seeds. New year. New life. 🌱
Safeguarding global crop diversity is vitally important @GlobalSeedVault but so is cookie diversity. Please @Oreo let @McVities dark chocolate Hobnobs into your vault youtu.be/-I9PMUmVcoc 😂🌾🍪

Excellent final G&B talk by @AlisonRBentley covering 12+ years of work and progress in UK #wheat🌾 Final message (paraphrasing) #teamwork makes the #dream work. Lots of Mexican themed virtual zoom backgrounds, including @GIAradottir and @Tomplantpath in a mariachi band 😂

Fantastic opportunity for an iCASE PhD studying barley yellow dwarf virus in wheat @Rothamsted @BristolUni with application into wheat breeding @ragtseedsuk. Guaranteed some excellent supervision (and some ramblings from myself)

#Argentina #Economy #GM #Wheat #Science
Argentina, the fourth-largest wheat exporter in the world, has become the first country in the world to approve the commercialisation of a variety of transgenic wheat.

In honour of #NationalPoetryDay, here's my work 🌾:
I study and research wheat,
It is good to eat,
It grows in farmers' fields,
I'm trying to increase yields,
And that would be pretty neat.
Really interesting programme about the history of wheat 🌾 domestication -> green revolution and beyond 🚜 🧬
Listen to our edition on Wheat Revolutions (Neolithic & Green) on @BBCSounds bbc.in/3kPJ2Ck with @dqfuller on 14,000 year old flatbreads 🌾 Cathy Zabinski on #amberwaves + @PBSAmerica director Rob Rapley on Norman Borlaug (pic) + a wheat diversity from Torth y Tir 🌾

🚨NEWS STORY🚨New sources of wheat diversity unlocked by massive-scale genomic study: Growers, wheat breeders and crop scientists are all set to benefit from one of the largest genetic analysis ever carried out of an agricultural crop. See: niab.com/news-views/news/new…
Final harvest done on spring wheat NILs from @ekte_Toby grown in the backyard over lockdown. Excited to see if ~40 garden comparisons 🌾 from NIAB staff across the U.K. can help to further resolve the genetics underpinning key yield components

So let’s raise a toast for us all to remember,
The wonderful Greg in his final September.
Remembering our colleague Greg today, who passed away a year ago today 🌅

A year of missing you...today the Genetics & Breeding team got together to remember our brilliant friend & colleague Greg Mellers who passed away last year. Greg still has a big impact on our work & on our lives ♥️
