No way to escape global warming! #saspp2022 Prof Mark Liang is sharing shocking information regarding the climate crisis - it's real, it's here, and it is really really bad! #saspp2022
And now, "in front of a live studio audience" at #SASPP2022- Darryl Herron (@LTranslat3d) 🤩 How can we assess the risk of a pathogen if we don't have a standardized assay? It's difficult... So Darryl made one, nbd.. 🤯 – at Pretoria, South Africa

If you can't get a keynote, deliver two talks back to back. @LandbouLisa presents two cool talks, back to back, on Sclerotinia sclerotiorum and its rising prevalence in SAs sunflower fields. #SASPP2022 @Fabiteam1 @FutureAfricaUP

We had around 165 people from more than 20 countries login to listen to our first International Seminar from Joey Tanney. It was a very interesting talk on endophytes in Canada, naming them and using them to combat pests and pathogens. We can't wait for the next one! #IYPH2020

This is the Eurasian wryneck. what you are looking at is it’s ability to mimic a forest snake when necessary. These movements once seemed otherworldly and is where the word jinx originates, sadly they endured much cruelty in superstition/witchcraft before mimicry was understood

We have now officially entered the twilight zone. Government deciding what clothing you can and cannot buy. Wearing a t-shirt (unless for warmth as an undergarment)is soon going to become a revolutionary act. Time to stop this petty nonsense and get real!

Dear Minister @BladeNzimande Universities do critical research & service to support our Agric & Forestry industries. Univ laboratories & researchers are at the heart of this support. Campus access is needed to support our national food & fibre systems. #covid19 @Fabiteam1

Sharing raw data is not only depositing them somewhere in open databases. An accompaning citable technical note is a nice way to document, get credit and encourage further use by others. See 👉 zenodo.org/record/2564950#.X… @KamounLab
