SUMMARY:Plantae Presents – Figuring It Out: Creating Figures That Communicate Science
DESCRIPTION:About this Webinar \nScientific figures are visual stories that shape how research is perceived and understood. In an era where attention spans are short and visuals often speak first\, the ability to create clear\, well-structured figures has become an essential part of scientific communication. This webinar will explore the guiding principles behind effective figure design – from refining data and image figures for publication\, to developing visuals that enhance scientific presentations\, and designing graphical abstracts that capture the essence of a study. Our speakers will describe how thoughtful visual organization\, color balance\, and layout can transform complex results into clear and engaging messages. \nHosted by the 2025 Plantae Fellows.

SUMMARY:Oxidative Stress and the Gut Microbiota: Emerging contributors in Cassava Associated Neuropathies
DESCRIPTION:This webinar is the 4th in a series together with the International Working Group for Safe Cassava. \nDespite extensive epidemiological work done on understanding the environmental and health susceptibility factors that are associated with konzo\, the molecular biology of the disease remains an enigma. Recent work has now raised the notion that the gut microbiome and oxidative stress may be a leading factor for disease susceptibility and/or severity. These works have opened new lines of thinking towards understanding konzo as well as supporting long-standing theories and findings related to the disease. Here\, we will discuss new findings that highlight the potential roles of the gut flora and the innate ability to mitigate the oxidative damage induced from a diet rich in cyanogenic cassava. \nWith Matthew S. Bramble\, researchers at the Children’s National Hospital & Assistant Professor at The George Washington University School of Medicine.

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!
