Breeding programs are often under/overvalued due to poor costing 🌱 #TRANSFORM is helping @CGIAR -NARES–SMEs networks budget better using @UQ_News’s free Breeding Costing Tool 💰 Read the new paper 👇frontiersin.org/articles/10.33… #PlantBreeding #CGIAR
Born Today in 1920, Rosalind Franklin was chemist and X-ray crystallographer whose work was central to the understanding of the molecular structures of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), RNA (ribonucleic acid), viruses, coal, and graphite
Enjoying hearing about both private and public sorghum pre-breeding and breeding @AustSummerGrain with talks from @SorgGuy and GenTech's breeder, highlighting the need for balancing time, effort and cost with risks relative to return on investment in the pre-breeding space.
Congratulations Dr Otwani @ajakudaniel on successfully completing your PhD! Really great work. It's been a pleasure to be part of your supervisory team. 🎉🥂
@AsadRiaz76 delivers a great talk on modelling tillering response to spacing in sorghum ar the 2025 retreat for @CoEPlantSuccess
Great to be participating in the annual retreat for @CoEPlantSuccess at the beautiful Gold Coast. Looking forward to a day of fantastic science.

New today: First GxE study of 3 native Australian sorghums - they are super drought tolerant
Very excited that Laura won the best student talk at #APBC2025 for work on female fertility in sorghum with @EmmaOmics
It’s APBC week! 🎉 Can't wait to welcome delegates from across the plant breeding community to Fremantle this week for #APBC2025 🌿 Here’s to a week of 'Celebrating Impact' Travel safe and see you soon! 📅 June 4 - 6 📍 Esplanade Hotel Fremantle 🔗 apbconference.org
Great night for star gazing. This photo was taken with my mobile phone. I am so lucky to live where I do. Light polution means that many people never see the stars.
Beautiful day at Girraween National Park today. It was a short walk, but energising!
Wow! I got within 10 metres of a wedge tail eagle today, Australia's largest bird of prey
Congratulations to @ajakudaniel who successfully defended his PhD research investigating the genetics and physiology of grain filling duration in sorghum. High quality impactful research @QAAFI @UQ_News
