Our #plantscience #summerschool teachers have been immersed in all things plant science. From lectures on contemporary research, practical workshops to resource development - the teachers will be leaving with an armour of new material and a network of plant-proud teachers. 💚🌱🎒🧑‍🏫👩‍🏫

Prof Anne Osbourn inspired our teachers no-end with a fascinating talk on harnessing plant metabolic diversity for therapeutic applications. "Finding drugs in the garden"💊🌱 So many questions answered. The teachers' students are in for a treat💚 #plantscience #summerschool @johninnescentre.bsky.social

After a truly fascinating lecture looking at how plants pattern their petal with Dr Edwige Moyroud, the teachers were able to sit down for a Q&A & explore how this unique are of plant development can be brought into the classroom🌺 Is Hibiscus trionum the *new* model plant? 🤔 #plantsci #summerschool

The classroom is ready for our group of post-16 biology teachers to explore SAPS practicals at the #PlantScience #SummerSchool 🎒 Any ideas what practicals we might cover? 🌱🔬🌾

The van is packed and we are ready to go... 🚚 We are looking forward to welcoming 8 post-16 biology teachers to the Gatsby Plant Science Summer School 2025 on Sunday. 🌿 It will be a week of #plantscience immersion with practical workshops and lectures from contemporary plant science researchers. 💚
