🌱🌾🌲🌍🌿🍄🌺🌳🌴🌷🪳🥦 Semifinal & final Botanical University Challenge #BUC2026 will be at University of Reading in August. Whole event held here one day 2019. Only 6 teams. Memories from @drmgoeswild.bsky.social in recent issue of our newsletter. How many teams will be in #BUC2026? Definitely over 30 !

I was in a meeting where we talked about summer projects for undergraduates interested in plant science, & someone shared this link 💚 @apaterlini.bsky.social Some deadlines are as early as January, so pass this on to those who might be interested! www.plantsciencefutures.org.uk/work-experie...

Very excited to announce that our collaborative manifesto for 🌱 #PlantScience #Education has now been published! Educators from >10 countries and 30 institutions have contributed to it and we are incredibly proud of the final output. Here is a short thread 🧵1/4 doi.org/10.1002/ppp3...

1/ Here are some exciting PhD opportunities! A BBSRC DTP studentship with Nick Talbot at The Sainsbury Laboratory Norwich: biodtp.norwichresearchpark.ac.uk/projects/van... (application deadline 2nd December)

Next year's Sainsbury PhD studentships have now gone live! 📢 Find out the details about each of the eight exciting opportunities: www.findaphd.com/phds/program...

What a great way to meet interesting people and build your network

Let us know if you think of another starter pack that could be useful for the aspiring plant scientists of the world

Here's another starter pack for you: This one is the learned societies and institutes linked to plant science in the UK. If you think your account should be included and has been missed, drop us a line

This is what plants are chatting about When they are hurt or under stress they release volatile compounds that inform and prepare other plants. In this way plants can prepare for predators but also heat or water stress. #STEM #Fascinating #PlantBiology #Nature

Woah! What a neat idea to demonstrate the diversity of form created with tweaks to the genome

A really fun way to get involved with plant science! Good luck to all the finalists, we will see you there!

Organised by Alex Johnson and Joe McKenna, who we have had the pleasure of working with at the Gatsby Plant Science Summer School, this is a great opportunity not to be missed! Just 2 more days to apply for a funded place if you are an ECR

Checkout our new starter pack: Academics to follow on BlueSky to keep up to date with cutting edge discoveries in the world of plant science! go.bsky.app/5CYhV8v
