So excited! Today my first ever first author paper has officially been published!🥳🥳 #womeninscience#EcologyAndEvolution

🌳#Ethiopia 🇪🇹 just broke an unbe-leaf-able record.🌳
In 12 hours, the country planted 350 million trees to counter the effects of #ClimateChange and #deforestation.
They aim to plant 4 billion indigenous trees in total. We are rooting for them—are you?

Wonderful to see the talent and leadership that FABI-TPCP produces in action.
@FutureAfricaUP gives @Fabiteam1
the platform to grow and build our capacity and collaborations.
Collaboration and cooperation = success!
#TPCP2019
Darryl Herron @LTranslat3d presenting on the role of TPCP in service delivery to the industry, smallholder farmers and home owners in keeping trees healthy through extension services, monitoring, screening and diagnostics @Fabiteam1@CTHB_Tree#TPCP2019
@Fabiteam1 Ashleigh Smit showing how the abundance of management practices against Lepidoptera, is still not enough to manage this problem on Macadamia. #tpcp2019
“The day we stop fighting [against pests and diseases] is the day we lose”
- @leptograph summarising the importance of the research being done @Fabiteam1@CTHB_Tree @ResearchUP
#TPCP2019
Wilhelm de Beer is barking up the right tree with the his talk on Bark and Ambrosia beetles and their impact on pine forestry.

@ResearchUP @UPTuks@FutureAfricaUP@Fabiteam1
@ReneHJHeim is the first speaker on day 2 of #TPCP2019
Our current methods of growing crops cannot sustain the human population into the future. We need to adopt more advanced tech to grow, monitor and sustainably manage our crops (forestry and agriculture)
@Fabiteam1
@JannekeAylward delivers her speed talk about a very important pathogen of Eucalyptus, Teratosphaeria destructans
Is T. destructans sexual reproducing? What does that mean for our Eucalyptus growers across South Africa?
#TPCP2019@Fabiteam1
It's good to see Simon Lawson from Australia again, and to listen to him share his ideas on creating a biosecurity surveillance strategy.
#TPCP2019@Fabiteam1@FutureAfricaUP
@DianaSix1 on the stoichiometry or bark beetle - fungus symbiosis. Not only important to understand the biology & evolution of the system, but also how insects will respond to climate change & pollution #CTHB2019#TPCP2019
@DarrynWhisgary, who I only get to see once a year, is up next and talking about harnessing bacteria so that we can grow food (from legumes) in poor environments
