During 6yrs of life @univofstandrews I was a PG student and have held residential, administrative, teaching and research positions. I’m thrilled to now be progressing my career to the next step, a tenure track plant pathologist/Nematology position @JamesHuttonInst starting Monday
The Potato Cyst Nematode may incur an average cost of £31 million a year in yield losses and management costs in the UK! And that’s not even counting the impact of potentially having to farm different crops in contaminated fields!

Our Pathogen Profile for G. rostochiensis & G. pallida is out now! 'We understand more about the biology of PCN and the nature of both the susceptible and resistant host response than ever before. However, there remain numerous key research needs.' https://t.co/fUORmdUl89
“The work that we carry out in the next 35 years will be pivotal to the future of humanity” Nick Talbot’s @talbotlabTSL conclusion to this #RSBPlantHealthSummit certainly is motivating to keep on the good work! Very exciting to see what goes on next!
Final keynotes from participants highlight how crucial meetings such as #RSBPlantHealthSummit can be in broadening our perspectives on science, plant health and how to move forward. Great work from @creativeconnec in organising all our buzzing thoughts in colourful artwork!
Inspired by day1 of #RSBPlantHealthSummit the @creativeconnec team has generated these amazing images:
1. The art of collaborative networking
2. Interdisciplinary collaborative projects
3. The art of influence
Roll on day two...

It’s a wrap on day to of #RSBPlantHealthSummit. Great discussions today again! Very nice to exchange with @plantchief and @PlantChiefScot on what the future of Plant Health could look like in the UK!
Wisdom from @BBSRC Debbie Harding on how #earlycareer researchers can influence funding strategies: serve on panels & working groups, complete surveys, provide direct constructive feedback - positive suggestions get traction, not complaints #RSBPlantHealthSummit#PlantHealth
Great first two sessions on collaborative networking and influencing policy makers. These small group discussions are a great way of exchanging and networking! #RSBPlantHealthSummit@RoyalSocBio

☑️ Chocolate Hobnobs
Ready for the first afternoon of #RSBPlantHealthSummit@RoyalSocBio
Excited to exchange (virtually) about the future of Plant Health Research!
