Next month, my partner and I will be participating in the Shitbox Rally to raise funds for @CancerCouncilOz
Almost 1 in 2 Australians will be diagnosed with cancer by the age of 85, so it's no wonder that this awful disease has touched all of our lives in one way or another.

[Simon Michelmore (he/him) @SimonsPea_hD]

We are rallying in honour of several friends and family effected by cancer, but in particular we are making this journey in memory of our beloved dog Bonnie, who sadly passed away earlier this year after being diagnosed with oral melanoma.

Forgot to post here that I finished my #PhD last year!

This week, I'm starting a new project on pulse plant architecture after securing a postdoctoral fellowship from @theGRDC

What a huge day at #24CFConf
Some really inspiring and thought-provoking presentations and discussions about how agriculture research can address the wicked problems facing the world. Huge thanks to @CrawfordFund for the opportunity to attend!

[The Crawford Fund @CrawfordFund]

🎉That’s a wrap! #24CFConf brought together experts and delegatesto discuss and network on advancing food and nutrition security.

👏Huge thanks to our speakers, attendees, and sponsors for contributing to its success! @CGIAR @dfat @WorldFishCenter @CSIRO @UOW @sthlmresilience

Very well-deserved award for a giant of ag research. #24CFConf

[Ismahane Elouafi @IsmahaneElouafi]

@CGIAR_EMD
my sincerest congratulations to Dr. Tony Fischer for receiving @CrawfordFund
award for his lifetime contribution to #FoodSecurity.
He shared how a question asked by a colleague back in 1960s still haunts him "How will we feed the world?" and with Science we can.

[Simon Michelmore (he/him) @SimonsPea_hD]

First day of the @CrawfordFund conference scholar program underway and I’m very grateful to have been matched with @RosGleadow

[Prof Ros Gleadow FAA @RosGleadow]

Yay! I got matched with the only other person masking at the Crawford scholars sesh in Canberra @SimonsPea_hD

[Alison Bentley @AlisonRBentley]

We’re all set for the 2024 @CrawfordFund conference #24cfconf in Canberra this week.
Great to catch up with the @ourANU Scholars (+ @SimonsPea_hD) ahead of Scholars Day activities today @RaidNetwork

[Lars Kamphuis @lars_kamphuis]

Great morning session at ILS4 continues with @SimonsPea_hD presenting a flash presentation on his PhD research on shoot branching in peas! #ilsgranada2023

mildly miffed that I’m spending the last few precious hours of my 20’s at work watering plants and moving numbers around in spreadsheets.

is this still a #tweet? or is it an #x now? imagine flushing a decade of brand awareness down the toilet

[Simon Michelmore (he/him) @SimonsPea_hD]

@PaulyShore hope you’re doing well

[Simon Michelmore (he/him) @SimonsPea_hD]

protocol: “evaporate to dryness under vacuum”
reality: “explosively boil samples under vacuum spraying them all over the vacuum chamber”

Still recovering from this conference! So good to get out and immersed in the broader community again. Big thanks to @theGRDC for funding my scholarship and travel, and to my supervisors @drtucks @PBrewerLab and @TJ_Sutto at @UofA_SET and @SA_PIRSA

Waite was well-represented at the recent #APC2023. Learn more about the conference and research conducted by @trialsofJManson and @SimonsPea_hD, who were awarded Best Student Oral Presentation and Best Student Poster respectively🫘🌾

@aligill_ @waiteresearch @AgrifoodUoA @LoveysBeth @LICOR_ENV @LICORBio I love that it plugs into a 1980s Esky. You just don’t see backwards compatibility like that these days

An innovative tag team of researchers, breeders and statisticians has successfully developed chickpea germplasm that is tolerant to imidazolinone herbicides 🙌.

I admit being a little worried when I typed "speed breeding" into google on a work computer. Research. Honest. I wanted more information after reading Groundcover issue 163; Accelerated breeding used for genetic gain in chickpeas. https://t.co/POPRvibe68

[Simon Michelmore (he/him) @SimonsPea_hD]

@KatelynJButler perhaps, given their sessile nature, plants have more to gain from the adaptive potential that polyploidy brings, so they can afford the cost?
