PhD alert 🔊: Fully funded NERC CENTA PhD studnetship @uniofwarwick@WarwickLifeSci with myself and Prof Murray Grant @Muzzaphytopath on 'Development of phage biopesticide to control Xanthomonas campestris in Brassicas'. Application deadline - 10 Jan. Please RT 😀.
This is a series of 'firsts': the first output from my year abroad at @WarwickCrop, my first venture in plant virology, and the first paper of @RobynBabb, @jonimmac and Kaitlyn (not here!). This all started with their final year projects and they did brilliant on it!
Curious about how virus genetic diversity varies between host plants and their vectors? Our latest research, just published in @PlantDiseaseJ, explores this in the Brassica-Aphid-TuYV system: https://t.co/GUalFXeOYg 🌱🪲🦠

Keep an eye out for videos coming soon 👀
