SUMMARY:Webinar: Nutritional quality of cassava in a warming world
DESCRIPTION:Cassava is highly productive and an important food security crop. It is also the only staple that\, under certain conditions\, can be toxic to humans. Prof Gleadow will discuss some of the possible underlying reasons why cassava is so cyanogenic and why this may be exacerbated by climate change. \nRos Gleadow is an Emerita Professor at Monash University in Melbourne. The focus of her research for the past 30 years has been on the effect of environmental variables on plants that make cyanogenic glucosides\, including cassava\, sorghum and some Eucalyptus species\, working from the molecular to whole plant level. She is a Fellow of the Australian Academy of Science\, past President of The Global Plant Council and Chair of the International Working Group for Safe Cassava.

SUMMARY:Plant Health Series: The importance of plant health in One Health
DESCRIPTION:A talk as part of the RSB Plant Health Series\nThis keynote address will be delivered by Sarah Brunel\, Implementation and Facilitation Unit (IFU) lead at the International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC).\n\n\nThe emergence and subsequent spread of pests and diseases can have a devastating economic\, environmental\, and public health impact across populations\, affecting biodiversity\, food security\, and commercial trading. As new plant health threats continue to emerge\, it is important to consider plant health in the context of One Health\, and integrate this into appropriate practice and principles.\n\nEffective statutory protections and standards in this area\, alongside controls to stop the spread of pests\, play a critical role in mitigating future plant pandemics. The IPPC aims to help implement these practices\, developing international standards and procedures in this sector.\n\n\nThis talk will be followed by an opportunity for an audience Q&A and discussion\, chaired by Professor Jeremy Pritchard FRSB\, University of Birmingham.\nThe speaker\nSarah Brunel leads the Implementation and Facilitation Unit (IFU)\, which coordinates implementation\, facilitation and capacity development activities such as the production of IPPC guides and training materials\, phytosanitary capacity evaluations and capacity strengthening activities to address emerging pests. Sarah’s focus is on the coordination of implementation projects and management of the IFU’s workplan\, including staffing\, budgeting\, resource mobilisation and strategies. She is the IPPC Secretariat’s lead on One Health. Sarah is also the secretariat’s liaison with organisations such as the Standards and Trade Development Facility (STDF)\, Centre for Agriculture and Bioscience International (CABI)\, Comité de Liaison Entreprenariat – Agriculture – Dévelopement  (COLEAD)\, the European Union and the Europead Feed Safety Authority (EFSA).\n\nSarah is an agricultural engineer from the Institut Supérieurr d’Agriculture Rhône-Alpes (ISARA). She has a master’s degree in international affairs and another in anthropology from the Sorbonne University and the French Museum of Natural History\, respectively. She has more than 20 years of national\, regional and international experience in plant protection\, pest and disease control policies and legistaltion\, implementation of standards for phytosanitary measures\, environmental protection and capacity development. She is a French national and speakers English\, French\, Italian and Spanish.\n\nAudience\nThis event is open to all\, but will be particularly relevant to scientists including those working in areas related to plant health.\n\n\nCost and booking\nBookings for this event will open in due course. If you have any questions\, please email Ellie Barrand at events@rsb.org.uk\nContact\nFor booking\, website or events queries\, please contact Eleanor Barrand at events@rsb.org.uk or on 020 3925 3444.

SUMMARY:Workshop: PLant science in the ANThropocene - PLANT
DESCRIPTION:The “PLant science in the ANThropocene” (PLANT) workshop will run from March 24 to April 4\, 2025 at the Institut Pascal of the University Paris-Saclay (campus about 25 km south of Paris). \nThis 2-week workshop will address key challenges for the international Plant Science community\, from basic sciences to socio-economic and environmental aspects including climate change. It will gather about 60 international scientists. The attendance will mix high stature senior scientists\, together with numerous younger ones. \nThe program will focus on three themes:\n– Theme I: “Frontiers in Plant Science fundamental research” (March 24-25-26)\n– Theme II: “Feeding the planet: roles for Plant Science and associated socio-economic challenges” (March 27-28-31 and April 1)\n– Theme III: “Plants as factories: from chemical compounds to mitigating climate change” (April 2-3-4) \nMornings will consist mainly of presentations by about 20 senior scientists\, who will provide their vision of how to rise to those challenges\, while the afternoon sessions will be devoted principally to brainstorming across generations on selected topics. This workshop will thus require input from all participants\, the goals being the emergence of consensus community opinions and the specification of paths to success for several major challenges\, be they at the level of training the next generation\, guiding deciders of public policies\, or connecting with the wider public on the importance of plant sciences in the Anthropocene. All these challenges are of high complexity and depend on several disciplines. Thus\, beyond plant biologists and geneticists\, some participants will come from agronomy\, ecology\, social and environmental sciences\, economics\, and also from chemical\, physical and computational sciences. \nSyntheses in the form of opinion papers will be drafted for publication. \nAPPLICATIONS ARE OPEN FOR PARTICIPATION IN THIS WORKSHOP \nApplications deadline: Tuesday December 17\, midnight \nTo know more and apply : https://indico.ijclab.in2p3.fr/event/10763/ \nAdmission is restricted because of capacity constraints and the need to have the brainstorming sessions be effective. There are no registration fees and lunches and coffee breaks will be provided. \nParticipants must hold a PhD. \nNote: There are no sessions during the week-end of March 29-30\, you can use your free time to do some tourism!

SUMMARY:A Teach-In for Plant Scientists: Organizing for Political Impact
DESCRIPTION:In this free\, online workshop\, Dr. Kevin Bird will discuss current politics and how scientists can organize in this moment. \nDr. Kevin Bird is an NSF Plant Genome Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of California\, Davis\, and a department steward for UAW Local 5811. He is interested in plant genome evolution and evolutionary genomics\, currently exploring plant pangenomic variation and how gene and genome duplications create metabolic novelty. Concurrently with his plant research\, he does research and scholarly writing about the co-option of human genetics and evolution research by far-right extremists\, translating research for the general public to reduce misunderstandings about race and genetics. \nHe earned his undergraduate degree at the University of Missouri\, where he double majored in Biological Sciences and Philosophy\, followed by a Fulbright Fellowship for evolutionary systems biology research at the Flemish Institute of Biotechnology in Ghent\, Belgium. He received his PhD in Horticulture and Ecology\, Evolutionary Biology\, and Behavior at Michigan State University\, studying whole-genome duplications in plants and the evolutionary history of strawberry. He also served on the Horticulture Department’s Diversity\, Equity\, and Inclusion committee and in consecutive terms as Chief Information Officer and President of the Graduate Employees Union AFT Local 6196. Dr. Bird is the product of three public land-grant universities and is passionate about social\, racial\, and economic justice and the radical science movement.
