Becoming a Crawford Scholar has provided me with endless opportunities to connect with fellow scientists in the Ag research for development space.

Applications are now open for the 2024 Crawford Student Award - jump on it!

What an incredible week of dialogue around mitigating risks to agriculture in the Pacific! Such a great opportunity to develop strong connections with a wide range of Pacific scientists and government officials as we work together to fight the challenges faced 🌱

📸 Today at the Pacific Dialogue in Fiji!

We still have 2 more fantastic days lined up to foster discussion between early to mid-career Pacific Islander and Australian scientists at our event supported by @ACIARAustralia and the @dfat.

Incredibly excited to have my first paper out for my PhD, a review looking at how abiotic stress at the reproductive stage impacts mungbean yield. Lucky to be apart of a great team that supported me getting this paper out! @millicent_smith @DrHikov 🫘https://t.co/fAcqbn3Y6Q

Had a blast presenting with my fellow PhD students last week at the @QAAFI Research Meeting. Such a great opportunity to share the exciting work we’ve got going on in taro. Watch this space 🌱

[Jemma Restall @JemmaRestall]

Guess I’m still running on island time which is why I’m posting this late. Back in August I had an incredible 4 weeks working with researchers at @spc_cps around drought tolerance in taro all thanks to the @CrawfordFund. What an amazing opportunity to learn from the experts!

[Jemma Restall @JemmaRestall]

@DrHikov Congrats Lee 🎉 Well deserved!

[Albert Chern Sun Wong @albertcswong]

Our book chapter on 'Genome Editing Towards Sorghum Improvement' is out now in @SpringerNature. Contributors: @YasmineCan, @JessHintzsche, @JemmaRestall, @Godwin_UQ, @Godwin_Lab

Beyond excited to announce that I’m a recipient of the 2022 Crawford Fund Student Awards! Can’t wait to work with the team at @spc_cps in Fiji on validation of a method to screen taro for drought tolerance

[The Crawford Fund @CrawfordFund]

🎊 Big congrats to our brand new 2022 Student Awardees, including @HCampbellross, @NakitaCally, @Madeleine_Grist, @JemmaRestall, @cris_ruanochamo, @Bethany_RSmith ➕ more!

Tragic for our research, but beautiful to see the team come together, even in heartbreaking times like this 🤝

[Shanice Van Haeften @shanice_vanhaef]

Another day, another mungbean trial to chip many weeds from! At least we had an amazing team helping out! (plus got some good UAV content) @HickeyLab

[Godwin Lab @Godwin_Lab]

Our GM sorghum field trial leader hard at work. It’s comforting knowing that our plants are in such responsible hands! 🚜
