SUMMARY:CRISPR Construct Design for Efficient Genome Editing in Plants
DESCRIPTION:The application of CRISPR-based genome editing technology in plant science has opened up a new era of possibilities for improving crop traits\, studying gene functions\, and increasing agricultural production sustainably. To harness the full potential of CRISPR for plant genome editing\, researchers need a sound understanding of how to design suitable CRISPR gene constructs. This webinar\, titled “CRISPR Construct Design for Efficient Genome Editing in Plants\,” offers an in-depth knowledge of the critical steps involved in designing and delivering CRISPR reagents that ensure precise and effective genome editing outcomes. \nThe webinar will begin with an overview of how to choose the appropriate CRISPR nuclease enzyme\, such as Cas9 or Cpf1\, based on the specific plant gene editing and desired outcomes. Choosing the right nuclease is crucial for ensuring efficient and accurate genome editing. \nThe participants will learn how to select suitable target sites in the genome and design effective guide RNAs (gRNAs) for targeting specific regions. The use of various web-based software tools that simplify gRNA design\, ensuring high specificity and efficiency will be explained. The webinar will also cover the design of genome editing constructs\, focusing on selecting appropriate promoters to express the Cas gene and gRNA(s) in plants. Strategies for expressing multiple gRNAs and enhancing the stability of CRISPR reagents will also be discussed. \nTo register: https://www.glostem.in/register/?conf=CCD24 \nThe workshop-cum-webinar is ideal for plant biologists\, geneticists\, breeders and researchers who are engaged on applying the CRISPR technology to elucidate gene functions and enhance our understanding on various plant traits for crop improvement.

SUMMARY:Data Manipulation with R Tidyverse
DESCRIPTION:This course will highlight useful tools of data manipulation from R’s Tidyverse suite of packages. The Tidyverse packages are built upon a philosophy of a tidy data structure: a rectangular (spreadsheet-like) data structure where each row is one observation\, each column is one variable\, and each cell contains one value. The Tidyverse packages follow a set of shared rules and share a common syntax style\, both designed to maximize code readability and reproducibility. \n\n\n\nThe emphasis of this short course will be on the core packages dplyr and tidyr in combination with packages specific to manipulating date-time data (lubridate)\, text data (stringr)\, and categorical data (forcats). Class exercises will provide practice restructuring data\, value replacement\, group operations\, and row- and column-wise functions. \nThe course content assumes some prior basic R experience and will require a current install of both R and RStudio. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n— \nThe Global Plant Council members are entitled to a 20% discount on course fees using the discount code: GC927384

SUMMARY:AAB Early Career Professional Science and Skills Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Hosted at the University of Leicester \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Association of Applied Biologists has a unique cohort of early career professional members as it includes members who work across academia\, industry\, farming and agriculture. This sets the AAB apart from other societies whose membership cohorts are more homogenous. Therefore we want to organise an event that brings together this group in order to help build cross-disciplinary linkages. We surveyed our ECP cohort and the consensus was that you would like the AAB to organise an event that mixed opportunities to present their research and to discuss skills\, careers and training. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nApplication process for Workshop Participants \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe can invite a maximum 50 in-person participants to this event\, which is open to both AAB members and non-members. We are currently searching for sponsors to support the meeting but the final registration will be no-more than £100 for the two-day event\, which includes a single night of accommodation. Delegates must be able to fund their own travel to the event. \n1.  We will ask potential attendees to apply for the workshop by telling us why it would be useful for their career. Deadline for these applications is October 15th. Applicants will be anonymously selected on both the strength of their application statement and also on their current position so that we have a mix of attendees from across sectors. Selected participants will be able to register for the meeting before November 16th. \n2. Selected participants will have the opportunity (not compulsory) to submit an abstract in order to either present a current project with a short talk or poster presentation. The deadline for abstract submission will be November 3rd. \nIn an AAB context Early Career Professionals are students and anyone within 5-years of finishing full-time education and this 5-years  is exclusive of any time spent on career-breaks\, maternity leave etc. We very much encourage applications from across sectors.

SUMMARY:3rd PhD Meeting in Plant Science
DESCRIPTION:The 3rd PhD Meeting in Plant Science (3PMPS) is an international meeting for PhD students and young postdocs that will be held in Braga (Portugal) on the 9th of July as a satellite activity of the XXV Meeting of the Spanish Society of Plant Biology / XVIII Spanish Portuguese Congress of Plant Biology (PB2023). \nThe 3PMPS is a biennial meeting organized by Portuguese and Spanish PhD students\, with the main purpose of giving young researchers the opportunity to present their work and to create networks with other researchers in the same field of study. \nThis meeting is ideal for young plant researchers to present and discuss their scientific results in a relaxed environment. We believe this will lead to greater interaction and exchange of ideas between young investigators from different countries.‍ \nSelected PhD students and young postdocs are invited to give oral presentations\, flash talks\, or poster presentations during the meeting. All abstracts will be reviewed by a Scientific Committee (made up of early-career researchers)\, which will select oral presentations with the help of a senior Advisory Committee.

SUMMARY:Decolonising and Diversifying Biosciences Education
DESCRIPTION:There is an urgent need to re-consider this\, and to adopt a more diverse and decolonised approach. This meeting will examine how we teach the Biosciences through an equality and diversity lens. \nTopics will include the historical legacies of colonialism on the Biosciences\, the need to adopt more diverse and inclusive examples\, ableism within the curriculum\, awarding gaps for disadvantaged students\, and how Biology education can better incorporate international perspectives. \nThe meeting will also include student perspectives\, and the emotional implications of receiving a non-inclusive education. The meeting will encourage delegates to consider their own teaching practices\, and to identify ways in which they could become more inclusive. This meeting therefore aligns closely with both the ‘Teaching and Learning’ and ‘Equality\, Diversity and Inclusivity’ aims of the OED section.

SUMMARY:Leading and supporting others for ECRs and New PIs
DESCRIPTION:This workshop will explore the role that emotional intelligence plays in different contexts. \nCost\nThis event is free for SEB members. Non-members will be charged the cost price of £20 per person. \nAbout the session\nLeadership and management are much more than simply setting a direction and getting things done. \nTo be an effective leader or a manager\, you need to be able to understand\, motivate\, inspire and appreciate the people that you work with (and for) in order to achieve the best outcomes. \nIn this interactive workshop\, we will explore the role that emotional intelligence plays in the context of leadership\, management and supervision. Participants will gain an introductory understanding of emotional intelligence and how it can be developed and harnessed to get the best out of ourselves and those we support\, lead or manage. \nFollowing this workshop participants will: \n• Understand what is meant by ‘emotional intelligence and the different competencies and skills that underpin it.\n• Have explored a range of leadership styles and appreciate the scenarios and contexts in which they can be effective.\n• Have an appreciation of how emotionally intelligent approaches can support ourselves and others in identifying and achieving goals and recognising success.\n• Have practical experience in supporting a fellow participant with emotionally intelligent mentoring & coaching conversations. \nWorkshop structure\nThis is a 3 hour live and interactive workshop with plenty of breaks throughout. \nWho’s it for\nThis participative workshop is aimed at researchers and academics who are leading\, managing or supervising others or who aspire to in the near future.
