I am proud to announce I will be the next @DanforthCenter President starting in October. I will continue leading @ENSA_research but reduce my research activities.

Plant science is key to sustainable, secure food. I am excited to drive that push at this prestigious organization.

Climate discussions must prioritise agricultural innovations, such as maximising #NitrogenFixation, that can sustainably restore soil health and increase yields.

This can contribute to climate mitigation and adaptation while securing global food systems #COP29 #ClimateAction

Plant science drives sustainable development and advances in food security in more ways than we could imagine.

Investing in research focused on crop productivity ensures progress in addressing global challenges and feeding the world.

Honoured to have received the CAS President’s International Fellowship Initiative award in recognition of years of research on plant-microbe interactions.

My utmost gratitude, once again, to the @ENSA_research and @CropSciCentre teams!

Gibberellin acts as a positive regulator of nodule growth to help legumes maximise #NitrogenFixation to increase their chances of survival during nutrient scarcity.

Equal pay for women isn't just a fairness issue – it's essential for fostering growth, innovation, and diversity.

By ensuring everyone is paid equitably, we can finally unlock people's potential, drive progress, and build a more inclusive workforce.
