Great chat on #abcPM tonight with Chief Defense Scientist Dr Alex Zelinsky He found unconscious bias against women in his organisation so he introduced blind recruiting AND IT WORKED!! Tune in 5pm AEST on @RadioNational & 6:30pm on your local ABC radio frequency @abcnews#auspol
Thanks for visiting us, @tony_swan64. It has been a pleasure meeting you & showing you around our little patch.
I appreciated your talk today & the scientific rigour that the research you do brings to understanding a whole system approach.
I’ve also attached a profile pic 😜
This plot of barley yielded 11.84 t/ha. Just let that sink in.
The only food crisis Kenya should have is where to export all the food it produces. Shows what is actually possible right now with the application of proper science and agronomy.
A sad loss, without Steve’s vision, drive and determination R&D in the northern region would be a long way from where it is now. He just quietly made things happen.
The rate of barley genetic yield improvement has been on average 0.6 - 0.8% per year in SA yield environments at 4-4.5t/ha. Fun using @grdc @NVT_Online data.
I hope ScoMo’s focus on drought will look beyond immediate drama to structural issues, such as:
1. Role of well-documented climate-change
2. Consequence of more non-farming interests owning the water resource
3. Neglect of longer-term secure agricultural R&D funding #agchatoz

We make out like Fireman Sam is a hero but he is an absolute hack. Only about 25 people live in Pontypandy and they are setting fire to something EVERY SINGLE DAY.
EDUCATE THEM SAM. GO BEYOND THE HOSE.
Hot tips for plant science students to grow your career from @KaiV_F:
1. Be independent
2. Get out of your comfort zone
3. Learn statistics (that means R)
4. Learn programming
5. Be flexible (experiments will fail)
6. Work hard
7. Be willing to learn new things
Camera detection of radish and vol. canola in cereals. Demo at 10km/hr, capacity is 25km/hr. Will also be able to do canopy% for VR N etc. + more upgrades in the future.
@DavidDeery@KathyDibley Dave, I have been living in the future since 1985 ;)
Ironing is a pointless social construct.
Down with big Ironing.
Up with the wrinkly proletariat!
