Fantastic to have @tinaschreier.bsky.social here this week for a visit and super seminar this afternoon. Amazing science and images of plasmodesmata, unravelling new things about C4 to help our fundamental understanding and identify ways to improve photosynthesis in key crops. Thanks Tina!

We mourn the passing of our Editor-in-Chief Steve Long.

His vision to establish one of the first journals dedicated to Global Change over 30 years ago was truly ahead of its time. Through GCB, researchers have demonstrated that biology and ecosystems are not simply victims of global change..
