It's been a great couple of weeks @Cambridge_Uni and a good way to wrap up research activities for the year.

Grateful to God for 2025 and Thankful for the many great things to happen in 2026.

Happy Holidays🎄🤶🌲🎁

It's been extreme temperatures, and my #cowpeas🌱 had to deal with drought, heat stress, and Striga.
While searching for the superstar cowpea lines, I had an amazing time teaching #Breeding for #ClimateResilience to these future leaders & #WomeninSTEM

@Yufeili15 successfully defended her PhD. Congratulations! 🎉 Thanks to examiners @Team_Thomma @Phil_Carella and the @wenboEffector group

Our new project begins: Cowpea Breeding for Future Climatic Conditions. With seed grant from @CambridgeAfrica ALBORADA fund

Excited about this new collaboration with @PlantPhys_Cam Lab as we combine efforts towards breeding for climate-resilience in cowpea🌱

[Olakunle Sansa @SansaOlakunle]

It's been a wonderful time at #PAG32 . Great sessions of expository talks highlighting research efforts and innovations to drive global #food security.

Graceful for the opportunity to speak at the #Abiotic Stress workshop session.

A wrap-up for 2024🍾

We present a latest report on drought tolerance in cowpea🌱

🔑 Our findings identified new sources of drought-tolerance useful for breeding climate-resilient cowpea varieties for sub-Saharan Africa

Excited to share our latest publication

👉 We explored natural ganetic varaition for photosynthesis in cowpea under real field drought conditions

👉 We provide valuable directions for breeding climate-resilient cowpea varieties
