Stel je voor dat een aardappelteler 🥔elk individueel plantje op z'n veld kan monitoren op ziekte, #onkruid of kwalijke insecten (coloradokever 😱)

Daar wil computerwetenschapper Jana Wieme met #drones & #AI voor zorgen @ILVOvlaanderen @ugent 👇

Congratulations to Eline, for winning the Best Scientific Poster Award at ISCP conference! Not bad for a first poster :-)

[Eline @eline_eeckhout]

Last week I had the exciting opportunity to present my very first poster at the 74th International Symposium on Crop Protection!
And to top it off, I won one of the awards for best scientific poster, truly an amazing experience!
