Pleased to share that our paper applying stats methods to explore nematode resistance in the field is now available in @SpringerNature Euphytica. Great to work with Bethany, @alison_m_kelly, @s_simpfendorfer, @Richard_D_NGA and Luke on this! Read here: https://t.co/GkOMyVvIoL

[Michael Mumford @MichaelMumford9]

My paper incorporating environmental covariates into a MET analysis to better understand the presence of GxExM interactions is now published. Thanks to my co-authors @alison_m_kelly, @CForknall, @Queensland_FSR, & @bugner35 for their support. Link below.

I’m excited to share that our method combining ideas from the worlds of stats and ML to model covariance in designed experiments is published with @SpringerNature in JABES. Thanks @alison_m_kelly, @ynazarathy, @AriVerbyla and team! Read here (open access) https://t.co/1i3XUHgT29

An amazing 2 weeks of upskilling Ethiopian breeders and pathologists in statistical methods have come to an end - where did the time go? One thing is for sure - it has been an incredibly rewarding and inspiring experience! Thanks to all involved and all that made it happen!

[Alison Kelly @alison_m_kelly]

So it ends…Day 12 as we complete the second course on Linear mixed models for plant breeding with a second group of EIAR breeders and pathologists. We have upskilled 50 team members in advanced statistics to improve genetic gain and had great discussions on trial design and GxE

[Clayton Forknall @CForknall]

Fantastic to be back in Ethiopia, continuing the upskilling of @InstituteEiar plant breeders in statistical methods. Incredibly rewarding to be able to work with a motivated and engaged group of researchers!

[Alison Kelly @alison_m_kelly]

And so it begins… Day 1 of our course Linear mixed models for plant breeding kicked off today for @InstituteEiar supported by @GatesAfrica through the MERCI project. We are looking forward to 6 days of learning with a great group of participants. @CForknall @SorgGuy @EmmaOmics

[Toni Petronaitis @ToniPetronaitis]

Guess what... Our initial research on using microwaves to eradicate cereal pathogens is out! With @SpringerNature in Australasian Plant Pathology journal @Plant_Pathogens 🌱
Thanks @CForknall @s_simpfendorfer & team!

SAGI-North team having fun with their presentations at the DAF Qld Biometry workshop this week. Stay tuned for publications to follow from this great work!

This #GRDC investment epitomises collaboration between researchers & statisticians to achieve meaningful outcomes for industry. Huge shout out to the project leadership team Rob Loughman, @alison_m_kelly, @s_simpfendorfer, @Grant_Hollaway, Greg Platz, @lisleQLD & @ManishaMshankar

[GRDC @theGRDC]

Some ground breaking research has resulted in a breakthrough for growers and agronomists wanting to measure the potential impact of disease on yield.

On this podcast we look at the results of that research and also how it all came about...

SAGI-North biometricians have been getting out and about recently, attending #Dalby and #Narrabri #GRDCUpdates to keep up to speed with the latest @GRDCNorth research findings

[GRDC @theGRDC]

.@ToniPetronaitis Toni is completing her PhD and is “looking to see if we can reduce the amount of Fusarium crown rot inoculum by modifying cereal harvest heights.” https://t.co/ZPgA0Dj5NZ

Shifting office today. Found some collectibles at the back of the cupboard shelves #statistics #biometrics ⁦@IBSstats⁩

[Clayton Forknall @CForknall]

Enjoyable evening tuning in to see our SAGI-North team members, @alison_m_kelly and @Joanne67694417, presenting their research on stats methods for high throughput phenomics data in agriculture during IBC2020 @IBSstats

[Clayton Forknall @CForknall]

Great to see a SAGI-North biometrician getting out of the office and into the field @MichaelMumford9

[UQ Farming Systems Group @Queensland_FSR]

Involving statisticians in experimental design and data collection produces better analyses and value for $$. Thanks Michael Mumford from SAGI Qld @DAFQld for coming to the field and getting “dirty” in the data collection for @QAAFI ‘s winter sown #sorghum thanks to @GRDCNorth

[Alison Kelly @alison_m_kelly]

It was a pleasure working with Eugenia and Lucas in the SAGI-North team at DAF Toowoomba. Joint benefits for the Australian grains industry and Argentinian Statistics community. 🇦🇺 🇦🇷

[Clayton Forknall @CForknall]

SAGI-North are thrilled to have the opportunity to present this workshop at #APBC2020. The workshop will feature plenty of hands on practical sessions, providing participants with opportunities to learn how to design their own experiments using R packages including od

[APBC2025 @APBC2025]

Interested in learning about best practices for designing your experiments? 🧐 On the Sunday before #APBC2020, we are holding a workshop: Introduction to Experimental Design for Plant Improvement Programs. 👩🏽‍💻🧑🏽‍💻 Check out the details here 👉🏽 https://t.co/dF3Bik4lrK

[Clayton Forknall @CForknall]

Fantastic week at #ausbiometrics19 draws to a close. Great to see so many SAGI North team members sharing their work! @MichaelMumford9

[GRDC @theGRDC]

The @URosario students will be part of the elite team working on the Statistics for the Australian Grain Industry project || #GroundCover #agchatoz https://t.co/xyU91mz1LS

[Clayton Forknall @CForknall]

That's a wrap - 6 stats training workshops delivered in 5 days by the SAGI North team. Was a big week, but as always with these guys, so much fun!

[Clayton Forknall @CForknall]

Excited to share our paper on the use of yield response curves to measure variation in the tolerance and resistance of wheat to crown rot, appearing in the current issue of @PhytopathologyJ. @s_simpfendorfer @theGRDC https://t.co/JbotQduupa
