This week, I found myself in my proudest moment yet - Implementing the @monogram-uk.bsky.social ECR pre-conference workshop. I really underestimated how it would feel to accomplish something like this, but I was in awe of the community we developed over the day.

My PhD student Jack Walker won best poster for his work on screening for salt tolerance in wheat wild relative introgression lines. Well done Jack.

A 9am talk is a brave time to introduce maths to a room of plant scientists, but Lorna made easy work of it. Great slide! #MonogramUK2025 @monogram-uk.bsky.social @ibers.bsky.social

Really enjoying #Monogram2025 so far @ibers.bsky.social Great talk by @chen-ji.bsky.social on her latest work exploring gene expression patterns in wheat grains. So many interesting genes to characterise!
