A big congrats to Andy and Nik. For this well-deserved award.

You are really a model for all mentor 👑👑

Supportive, caring,
and very human ❤️❤️

So happy for you guys!

These two absolute legends of @JohnInnesCentre getting the recognition they so deserve. You could not imaging two more supportive and caring mentors who just happen to also be outstanding scientists than Andy and Nik

What a wonderful Wheat Transformation and Genome Editing Team @JohnInnesCentre so proud of you all 👏👏👏 and your collective efforts @JICWheatGE

[Isa @ifacisabel]

Today we are excited to share our @protocolsIO on how to dissect (and collect) spike meristems. We hope it can be useful!

As we release the protocols we countdown for #IWC2024Perth
🌾 5 weeks left!

[Isa @ifacisabel]

To the wheat and plant sciences community: We want to share across the coming weeks our day-to-day lab protocols, via @protocolsIO (open access, no peer review).

First release is: "How to grow wheat" https://t.co/ACVFEDf22E

Feedback is welcomed and greatly appreciated! 💬

The first italian GE trial has been destroyed by "ecoterrorist" last night.
Full support to @vittoriabr and her collegues.
Don't give up!

1/ Pre-war wheat could hold the key to securing and improving future harvests. Led by the UK @JohnInnesCentre and China (AGIS-CAAS), scientist from across the globe have concluded a 20 year study to decipher the genomes of over 800 pre-war wheats. https://t.co/Qftre2By2k

It’s Transformation Tuesday 😊 A warm welcome to @aroojazhwar00 who joined the wheat transformation team @JohnInnesCentre yesterday. Second day and already isolating wheat embryos for a @DSW_ISP project 👏👏👏👏

[Monogram Network @MonogramUK]

Hi everyone! 🍃
Isabel Faci here @ifacisabel - excited to take over this account for 3 weeks. I'm a third year PhD student in Cristobal Uauy's lab at the @JohnInnesCentre, where I study photoperiod and temperature interactions and their effects on wheat development. (1/2)

[Anna Backhaus @a_bakinghouse]

I so enjoyed listening to the illuminata podcasts over the last year…. except for this one 🫣😅but thank you so much @CharlotteRambla @CrisDom96 for the insightful questions! It’s hard to stop me once I’m allowed to talk about wheat, barley and their wild relatives 🌾🌾

[Cristobal Uauy @CristobalUauy]

Congratulation Isa @ifacisabel - the whole lab is so proud of your recognition as a 2024 Women in Triticum Early Career awardee. Richly deserved for your scientific excellence, values and leadership. https://t.co/TrazMWvRWK @JohnInnesCentre @ERC_Research

[Anna Backhaus @a_bakinghouse]

I’m really so excited for coming to Australia and present our work from Morocco and the wider region on barley and it’s awesome wild relatives! Thanks @abts_2024 for the invite!

[Anna Backhaus @a_bakinghouse]

I was very proud to show the work we do at @ICARDA to my ambassador Mr Dölger. It’s always a pleasure to meet fellow agriculturalists, and discuss how the power of science can help safeguard our planet and combat climate change @GER_in_Morocco 🌍🇲🇦🇩🇪🌾

[Katherine Denby @Katherine_Denby]

Please RT: I’m looking for postdoc to engineer gene regulatory networks to design disease resistant crops. Collab with me @BiologyatYork, @nicolabiologist @Cambridge_Uni& Richard Morris @JohnInnesCentre
Deadline Feb 26th

A first step towards science-based agriculture in Europe!

[Mark Lynas @mark_lynas]

Huge win for science in Europe today! Doesn't happen often, so please share and celebrate a little... this is only the beginning of a long road, but even so.
