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:Machine learning in plant–pathogen interactions: empowering biological predictions from field scale to genome scale
DESCRIPTION:Machine learning (ML) encompasses statistical methods that learn to identify patterns in complex datasets. Here\, Jana reviews application areas in plant–pathogen interactions that have recently benefited from ML. She provides an under-the-hood glance into her developed suite of ML-based tools for pathogen effector prediction such as EffectorP. Jana will discuss common pitfalls and challenges she encountered during the development of ML approaches. Finally\, she will highlight future opportunities for ML as a tool for dissecting plant–pathogen interactions\, for example through integration of AlphaFold predictions or ML-driven effector gene annotation. \n—— \nJana is a bioinformatician interested in the interactions between plants and their pathogens. Her work involves using computational techniques to gain new insights into plant–pathogen relationships\, and her contribution includes widely used software tools for fungal effector prediction using machine learning. She completed a M.Sc. in Computer Science with a focus on Bioinformatics at the University of Freiburg\, Germany. In 2008\, she commenced a Ph.D. at the University of Western Australia in which she developed novel methods for the computational prediction of non-coding RNA structure. In 2012\, she joined CSIRO as a Postdoctoral Fellow to work on plant-pathogen interactions. In 2018\, she joined the Australian National University as a Research Fellow at the Biological Data Science Institute and was awarded a 2019 ARC Discovery Early Career Researcher Award (DECRA) to uncover how rust fungi cause devastating plant diseases. In 2021 she joined CSIRO as a Senior Research Scientist where she leads the Data Intensive Approaches team. Jana’s Tansley insight ‘Machine learning in plant–pathogen interactions: empowering biological predictions from field scale to genome scale’\, focuses on machine learning (ML) applications in areas in plant–pathogen interactions and highlights benefits and challenges in using ML approaches.

SUMMARY:Deciphering the fingerprint of disturbance on the three-dimensional structure of the world’s forests
DESCRIPTION:Canopy gaps and the processes that generate them play an integral role in shaping the structure and dynamics of forests. However\, it is only with recent advances in remote sensing technologies such as airborne laser scanning that studying canopy gaps at scale has become a reality. Consequently\, we still lack an understanding of how the size distribution and spatial organization of canopy gaps varies among forests ecosystems\, nor have we determined whether these emergent properties can be reconciled with existing theories of forest dynamics. Here\, I outline a roadmap for integrating remote sensing with field data and individual-based models to build a comprehensive picture of how environmental constraints and disturbance regimes shape the three-dimensional structure of the world’s forests. \n—— \nTommaso’s research focuses on the processes behind the structure and function of the world’s forests\, and how these might respond to rapid environmental change. Tommaso\, a NERC Independent Research Fellow and Lecturer in the School of Biological Sciences at the University of Bristol\, UK\, brings his ideas together in his Tansley insight\, ‘Deciphering the fingerprint of disturbance on the three-dimensional structure of the world’s forests’.

SUMMARY:Bringing Biocontrol and IPM to Market
DESCRIPTION:Over the last decade\, the AAB “Advances in Biocontrol and IPM” Conference has become a popular fixture in the national calendar of events. The overall objective has been to create an annual gathering of the IPM community at which policy makers\, experienced researchers\, early career scientists and practitioners can detach themselves from their usual day-to-day pressures and become totally immersed in this important subject. To broaden its appeal still further\, we will continue with a hybrid format to enable both in-person delegates at our regular conference venue and those who prefer to join us online. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nScientific Sessions\n1. New Solutions\nAim: To attract presentations on latest developments and novel Biocontrol/IPM approaches nearing completion or recently launched \nConfirmed speaker: Lauren Dipenbrock (University of Florida) \n2. Future proofing development of sustainable control – gap analysis and innovation\nAim: To identify forthcoming gaps/problems the industry will face in effective transition to IPM from conventional chemicals; “New” pests arising from the loss of conventional products; Novel innovations under research to address these issues. \n– Recognizing the potential that in some cases only early/incomplete datasets may be available for some studies\, and in others there may be a need for caution regarding how much information is released\, this session will include both full papers and short lightening talks as required. \nConfirmed speaker: Chris Wallwork (Agrii) \n3. Making it work in the field\n Aim: To encourage contributions from Growers/ Supermarkets. \nConfirmed speakers: Ron Stobart (Sainsburys)\, Andy Howard (Local Farmer): \n Session 4: Bringing certainty for business: Comparing/contrasting global legislation for Biocontrol & IPM\nAim: Compare different legislator approaches to consider best practice. It is hoped various industry sectors would be interested in the regulatory environment (uncertainty; small size/limited resources ….) \nConfirmed speakers: Roma Gwynn (Biorationale)\, Michael Braverman (Rutgers University\, IR4)

SUMMARY:A comparative analysis of policy options for dsi under the CBD: how do they measure up?
DESCRIPTION:A Webinar co-organised by the Global Plant Council\, the DSI Scientific Network\, the Global Genome Biodiversity Network and the Inter-American Institute for Cooperation on Agriculture \nEstablishing and implementing an effective Post-2020 Framework for Biodiversity will not be possible without coming to an agreement on a solution for DSI that enables fair and equitable sharing of benefits while preserving open access in support of research\, biodiversity conservation\, food security\, and public health. The DSI Scientific Network\, the Global Plant Council\, the Global Genome Biodiversity Network and the Inter-American Institute for Cooperation on Agriculture will host a joint webinar to discuss the implications of different policy options for a benefit sharing mechanism for DSI. Experts will share their views on the possible impacts of the proposed policy options\, highlighting where win-win solutions could be identified from a research perspective. Use of DSI underpins work in all fields of conservation biology and ecology\, plant and animal sciences\, as well as many domains beyond. Parties must find a way to ensure the benefits of this use are shared fairly and equitably. The ongoing biodiversity crisis demonstrates the urgent need for further research into how to address and reverse it\, which will depend on open access to DSI. \nAgenda and Panellists: \n\nAndrew Hufton\, Biotechnology Journal and Advanced Genetics\, Wiley – What do we mean by “open access”?\nManuela da Silva\, Fiocruz; David Nicholson\, Wellcome Sanger Institute – Overview of the CBD policy options matrix – how do they measure up?\nDerek Eaton\, Smart Prosperity Institute – Thinking through the economic implications of the policy options\nUnderstanding the use of DSI in research and the role of open access\no Sarah Hearne\, CIMMYT – The case of wheat and maize\no Christine Prat\, European Virus Archive – Using DSI for public health\nQ&A

SUMMARY:How will global change affect plant reproduction? A framework for mast seeding trends
DESCRIPTION:Forest ecology traditionally focuses on plant growth and survival\, leaving seed production as a major demographic process lacking a framework for how it will be affected by global change. Understanding plant reproductive responses to changing climate is complicated by masting\, the annually variable seed production synchronized within populations. Predicting trends in masting is crucial\, because masting impacts seed predation and pollination enough to override simple trends in mean seed production. Proximate mechanisms of seed production patterns in perennial plants are gathered to identify processes through which masting may be affected by a changing environment. Predicting trends in masting will require understanding the mechanisms that cause predictable seed failure after high-seed years\, and the stochastic mechanisms that synchronize individuals in high-seed years. \n—- \nMichal Bogdziewicz is an Associate Professor at the Institute of Environmental Biology\, Adam Mickiewicz University (AMU) in Poznan\, Poland. Michal’s research program involves several forest ecology subfields\, including interactions between plants and animals (both seed consumers and seed dispersers)\, and mechanisms driving variation in plant fecundity. A major focus of the work is to understand proximate and ultimate drivers of mast seeding\, socioecological consequences of pulsed reproduction\, and the climate change impacts on seed production and recruitment. \nMichal obtained his BSc in Biology (2010) and his MSc in Ecology (2012) from Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznan\, Poland. His PhD thesis was jointly supervised by Rafal Zwolak (AMU) and Elizabeth Crone (Tufts University\, MA\, USA). After completing his PhD\, Michal moved to Barcelona and undertook two postdoctoral positions at CREAF\, Autonomous University of Barcelona\, Spain. He is currently a Bekker Fellow at LESSEM\, at INRAE in Grenoble (France) where he works in the Mast Inference and Prediction (MASTIF) project led by James Clark (Duke University\, NC\, USA). Starting in 2023\, he will head the newly established\, ERC-funded\, Forest Biology Centre at Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznan.

SUMMARY:Novelties\, Frauds\, and Protections: The Fruit Business in Ninteenth-Century America 
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Professor Daniel Kevles\, Yale University​ \nIn the United States through the 1830s\, commercial fruit nurseries were few in number\, served largely local markets\, and\, facing little competition\, did little in their catalogues to differentiate and brand their products. Beginning in the 1820s\, the transportation revolution\, the migrations westward\, and the creation of relentlessly expanding markets steadily enlarged competition and put a premium on the innovation of novel fruits. Plants were not patentable at the time. Plant nurseries\, hitherto members of close-knit local communities\, had tended to rely on mutual trust to prevent the appropriation of their innovations. However\, operating in increasingly impersonal regional and national markets they sought to protect their investments in the creation or acquisition of novelties by branding their products. Still\, cheats could offer fraudulent or adulterated fruit trees or vines under the branded name\, and purchasers would be none the wiser because it was virtually impossible to tell simply by inspection what plant or plant quality young trees or vines would eventually produce. \nFrom the 1830s through the rest of the century\, purveyors of innovations developed a variety of strategies to protect their brands. The strategies were well exemplified by several prominent nurseries\, notably Ellwanger and Barry’s\, in Rochester\, New York; Charles Hovey’s\, in Cambridge\, Massachusetts; and Luther Burbank’s\, in Santa Rosa\, California. They emphasized in their catalogues the importance of purchasing only from reliable sources\, included testimonials from happy customers\, and provided lithographs – first black and white\, then in color – of their branded fruits. Still\, thieves of new fruit trees and vines could simply clone them and sell them under another brand name. In the face of that biological loophole\, their originators charged exceptionally high prices for first sales\, hoping therein to recoup the downstream revenues they would lose to appropriation. They also employed traveling salesmen to sell their trees and vines\, instructed them to gain trust by behaving in a moral\, upright manner\, and equipped them with sample books that presented in full color the fruits purchasers would get if they bought and planted the nursery’s trees and vines. By the late nineteenth century\, finding these protective strategies increasing inadequate\, nurserymen began agitating for national legal protection of their branded novelties through trademarks and patents. \nDate and time: 9 AM\, 18 October 2022 AEST (Time Converter for your location)\, 1 hour duration\nLocation: Online Lecture via Zoom \nGo check the People\, Plants and the Law Online Lecture Series

SUMMARY:Integrating plant physiology and community ecology across scales through trait-based models to predict drought mortality
DESCRIPTION:Forests are a critical carbon sink and widespread tree mortality resulting from climate-induced drought stress has the potential to alter forests from a carbon sink to a source\, causing a positive feedback on climate change. Process-based vegetation models aim to represent the current understanding of the underlying mechanisms governing plant physiological and ecological responses to climate. Yet model accuracy varies across scales\, and regional-scale model predictive skill is frequently poor when compared with observations of drought-driven mortality. Anna proposes a framework that leverages differences in model predictive skill across spatial scales\, mismatches between model predictions and observations\, and differences in the mechanisms included and absent across models to advance the understanding of the physiological and ecological processes driving observed patterns drought-driven mortality. \n— \nAnna T. Trugman is an ecologist with a multidisciplinary background in the Earth sciences. Her research interests are centred around understanding the Earth system consequences of plant physiological processes and ecological interactions\, particularly in water limited systems and novel climate conditions expected with anthropogenic climate change. Her research spans spatial scales from plant organs to the globe\, and utilizes techniques including ecological modelling\, field measurements\, and environmental data science. Anna received her bachelor’s degree from Stanford University (Stanford\, CA\, USA) in Geological and Environmental Sciences\, her PhD from Princeton University (Princeton\, NJ\, USA) in Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences\, and spent two years at the University of Utah (Salt Lake City\, UT\, USA) in the Biology Department where she was awarded an independent United States Department of Agriculture Postdoctoral Fellowship for studying forest drought vulnerability with climate change. She has been an Assistant Professor in the Department of Geography at the University of California\, Santa Barbara (CA\, USA) since 2019.

SUMMARY:Regulatory Dynamics During Development and Evolution
DESCRIPTION:Symposium overview\nThe creation of novel organs\, the formation of diverse shapes and patterns within tissues or the ability of cells to deploy different responses to environmental cues all rely on the assembly\, rewiring and co-option of gene regulatory networks. We now know that complex behaviours can emerge from relatively simple networks. Reciprocally\, sophisticated regulatory networks can often generate stable and predictable outputs despite being intrinsically noisy. Technological advances and new model systems are enabling us to address previously unexplorable questions\, continuously modifying our understanding of the regulatory logic that underpins life. With SLS2022 we aim to bring together theoretical and experimental researchers from diverse disciplines using a broad range of species and approaches to investigate the regulatory dynamics contributing to the emergence of biodiversity. \nSymposium format: Hybrid\nThe 4th biennial Sainsbury Laboratory Symposium (#SLS22) will take place at the Sainsbury Laboratory\, Cambridge\, UK over three days (21-23 September 2022) and will be delivered in a hybrid format. Delegates may choose to attend in-person or online. \nThe Symposium will foster a dialogue between researchers working on regulatory dynamics from different fields across the plant and animal kingdoms and consist of talks\, poster sessions and daytime and evening social and networking events. \nOur goal is to create a welcoming\, safe\, collaborative\, inclusive and respectful symposium environment by promoting diversity of attendance and inclusivity of participation of underrepresented scientists. \nWebsite: https://www.slcu.cam.ac.uk/sainsbury_laboratory_symposium \n
