Great talk by Baldwyn Torto (ISIPE) on how to use chemical ecology research on crop pests to provide biological solutions for sub-Saharan farmers.

This field trip was part of the "Max Planck Partner Group Kick-Off Workshop" organised by Dr. Sagar Pandit & Max Planck Partner Group's mentor Prof. Jonathan Gershenzon. We were accompanied by leading chemical ecologists from both India & Germany who are part of @maxplanckpress.

Just 17 days left to apply for a fully-funded PhD project. Open to international candidates! Will silicon be an effective plant defence against pests / pathogens under future climates? Chance to work with the wonderful @profSueHartley too!

[Rachel Wells @OilseedRachel]

Excellent opportunity available at RRes for those interested in pests and their natural enemies!

@OriolLG @DianaForgia @MDPIOpenAccess Well, seems to depend on the journal. Our papers in J Fungi were not only reviewed appropriately but reviews and replies are published too! That is more transparency then you get elsewhere.

New Paper by our PhD Catalina Posada-Vergara showing that fungal entomopathogens hit twice: by infecting insects and priming root defences. https://t.co/xxfU9dN0iv #mdpijof via @JoF_MDPI

Nectar-inhabiting bacteria do not only impact the foraging behavior of pollinators….parasitoids are affected too! Great collaboration with @bartlievens1 @AgEntoLabGOE @Salvato87749842 See https://t.co/U1vAb5SmgD

Nacht des Wissens was a total success! What a pleasure it was to learn about so many interesting projects and to share the research of our Lab of Agricultural Entomology! Thanks to @ndw_goe & @uniGoettingen

[Michael Rostas @AgEntoLabGOE]

@ApostolosPekas @Biobest_Group Congrats, Tolis! Was exciting to see them on our field trip with the PlantHealth students in Spain

Of course, Crop Protection is a bit less exotic (as the article implies) if you teach the subject yourself :-)
