When I first visited Asilomar for a meeting, the conference grounds had a beautiful Monterey Pine forest. Now devasatated by pitch canker. Shocking what an invasive alien pathogen can do! @Fabiteam1#forestpathology#forestentomology
@DrJohannaRhodes @DrAndiWilson @EvelineSnelders I know so many fabulous women scientists, thus impossible to single out any one of them!! Support women in science!!
@JimBradeen So sorry to hear for Neil's passing. A privilege to have had him as one of my PhD professors at UMN Plant Pathology. His passion for fungal genetics and Poplar diseases leaves special memories and appreciation R.I.P. Neil.
Uplifting to hear Joseph Buongiorno discuss climate change on the future of forests! Much to consider and to be concerned about! @IUFRO @Fabiteam1 #forests
Happy Mandela Day to all! FABI team members celebrate the occasion by spending 67 minutes (remembering the 67 years that Mandela spent jailed on Robben Island) of community service slashing invasive woody weeds-small impact made -but every bit counts @Fabiteam1#MandelaDay2023
