Congratulations to Yasmine Lam on being awarded her PhD at UQ today! So well deserved! A great outcome for QAAFI and for our ARC Discovery team too!

Great line-up of speakers in our symposium on Designing and Modelling Crops for a Hotter and Drier World at #TropAg 2022 in Brisbane this week.

Wake up to find some barstards have cut the hell out of our oats.... to say I am angry is an understatement. Drone photos to come 😡😡😡

Held up by camels on the way to Melkassa Research Centre in Ethiopia's Rift Valley. Good excuse for getting to work late over here! @QAAFI

Narrow root angle in sorghum associated with higher grain yield under drought in Ethiopia @gatesfoundation PEARL Project Final Review meeting (Jimma University & UQ) @QAAFI

[Andrew Borrell @andy_borrell]

Final review of BMGF PEARL Project in Ethiopia (Jimma University & UQ). Training future African leaders was one of the key outcomes!

[Andrew Borrell @andy_borrell]

Well done Temesgen! It's been a privilege to work with you in Australia and Ethiopia. And some exciting data too on root architecture in sorghum!

[David Jordan @SorgGuy]

Really impressive young scientist. I expect to see great things from him in the future

[Andrew Borrell @andy_borrell]

This will be a great conference to discuss how we translate 'photosynthesis' science into yield gains in the field.

[GRDC @theGRDC]

Science is in the process of turning #photosynthesis traits into the future source of the yield gains that the world needs to maintain food security, particularly of bread wheat and rice: https://t.co/TycvmxbDzw || #GroundCover #agchatoz

[Andrew Borrell @andy_borrell]

Great to see this sort of progress!

[Emma Mace @EmmaOmics]

Fantastic collaboration with the EIAR chickpea team on modernizing crop breeding programs to increase the rate of genetic gain, funded by The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. A great day at Debre Zeit with Nigussie and his team, @SorgGuy, @DrHikov and other @QAAFI colleagues.

Drone image of our sorghum trial at Pirrinuan this year. Tough year. Red is soil green is standing plants. Lots of lodging so a great site for discrimination of the good and bad. Thanks to pilot and compter wrangler @laws_ken

[Andrew Borrell @andy_borrell]

Great facility at UQ's Gatton Campus to measure root growth under variable water and nutrient conditions. @QAAFI @theGRDC

[Andrew Borrell @andy_borrell]

Great job Barbara!

[Andrew Borrell @andy_borrell]

Getting framed with Costa Georgiadis. Inspiring the next generation of agricultural scientists!
