SUMMARY:Konzo: forgotten but not gone - Introducing the International Working Group for safe cassava
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an enlightening webinar titled “Konzo: Forgotten but Not Gone\,” where we will introduce the International Working Group for Safe Cassava. \nIn this session\, Prof Ros Gleadow from Monash University (Australia) will interview Dr Julie Cliff of the Eduardo Mondlane University (UEM) in Mozambique\, a leading expert on Konzo—a neurological disease linked to the consumption of improperly processed cassava. \nAlongside the interview\, Prof Ros Gleadow will also provide a brief presentation on the group’s efforts to ensure cassava safety worldwide. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn more about a critical\, yet often overlooked\, global health issue. \nThe webinar is the first in a series we hope will fill the gap left by the CCDN (Cyanide in Cassava Disease Network) news which is no longer published. \nDate: 5th September 2024\nTime: 15:00 CET \nKonzo materials:\nhttps://biology.anu.edu.au/research/centres-units/konzo-prevention-unit

SUMMARY:AAB Presidents Meeting: Cereal Quality for sustainable production and human health
DESCRIPTION:We are delighted to introduce the 2024 AAB Presidential Meeting led by Professor Mike Gooding\, who for the past three decades has supported sustainable cereal production through improving quality\, resource use-efficiency\, and climate-change adaptation. \nThe human population is heavily reliant on the cereals for food security. Indeed\, production of the most popular cereals has outstripped that of population growth over the last 60 years. This remarkable achievement is\, in part\, testament to scientific and technological advances in crop improvement\, nutrition\, and protection\, and the efforts of farmers\, agronomists\, and processors. However\, there is growing concern as to the effect of the quantity of certain cereal products in the human diet on health. These concerns need to be set against recognised health benefits\, and the contribution that increased production has for global food security in times of political upheaval and climate change. \nIn addition to improving human health\, attempts to meet processor and consumer expectations is key to sustaining food chains. Achieving quality criteria\, however\, often demands special attention to the selection of genotypes\, agronomy\, and cropping system; while success is also often heavily dependent on soils\, weather\, and climate. Growing crops for specific markets have\, therefore\, implications for the efficient use of land and other resources\, whilst environmental change will undoubtedly affect the reliability of meeting quality standards. \nIt is timely that AAB returns to the subject of Cereal Quality. We invite contributions that seek to increase sustainability; through improved understanding and innovation related to environmental\, genetic\, agronomic\, and processing effects on cereal quality and human health. We also welcome systems orientated contributions: more needs to be known concerning the effects on crop quality of systems protecting the soil\, and mitigation / adaptation of effects of climate change such as regenerative- \, conservation-\, and climate-smart agriculture. \nThis meeting is co-organised by the AAB Plant Physiology and Crop Improvement group and will include awards of AAB Presidents Medals. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbstract Submission\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe majority of speakers at this meeting will be selected from submitted abstracts. We encourage delegates to submit an abstract to either present an oral or poster presentation. \nWe especially encourage submissions from early career professionals. AAB offer generous travel grants to support ECP attendance which we hope will encourage abstract submission. \nEveryone who is not selected for an oral presentation will be invited to bring a poster presentation. \nAbstract submission deadline is July 1st 2024. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration\nDelegates can register for the meeting without accommodation. This will includes access to all sessions\, meeting catering and the conference dinner on September 17th. \nOnline registration is also available for those delegates who are unable to travel to Birmingham. Online delegates are eligible to present an oral or poster presentation. \nRegistration will open in Spring 2024

SUMMARY:Sainsbury Laboratory Symposium 2024
DESCRIPTION:The Symposium aims to unite researchers from various disciplines who work with a wide range of species from around the world\, all with an interest in understanding developmental variation. The Symposium’s four topic areas are reprogramming by 1) Evolution\, 2) Domestication\, 3) Environment and 4) Engineering. \nAbstract submissions close on 29 April 2024.\n\nSainsbury Laboratory Symposium 2024: Development Reprogrammed\n\n17-19 September 2024  | Cambridge\, UK  | In-person and online live stream  |   Website\n\nSymposium overview\nThe theme for the 2024 Sainsbury Laboratory Symposium is “Development – Reprogrammed”. Throughout plant evolution\, and notably during crop domestication\, the processes and mechanisms underpinning plant development have undergone changes. Additionally\, plants are remarkable in their ability to adapt their development to environmental cues such as temperature\, light\, drought\, and plant-inhabiting microbes. This Symposium aims to unite researchers from various disciplines who work with a wide range of species from around the world\, all with an interest in understanding developmental variation be it genetically-encoded plasticity or genetically-selected by nature\, breeding or rational design.\n\nSymposium format\nThe 5th biennial Sainsbury Laboratory Symposium (#SLS24) will take place in-person at the Sainsbury Laboratory\, Cambridge\, UK over three days (17-19 September 2024). Talks will be live streamed online for those who would like to attend remotely.\n\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. We have a number of waivers available for those who do not have the financial resources to pay the registration fees to attend the Symposium. The waiver will cover conference fees only; if you are applying for an on-site place\, you will need to cover your travel and accommodation fees. You may be offered an online fee waiver in lieu of an in-person fee waiver.\n\nConfirmed Speakers\n \nKeynotes\n\n\nKeiko Sugimoto (RIKEN)\n\n\nZachary Lippman (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)\n\n\nInvited Speakers\n\n\nBenjamin Blackman (UC Berkeley)\n\n\nCaixia Gao (Chinese Academy of Sciences)\n\n\nDevin O’Connor (Pairwise)\n\n\nEric Giraud (Institut de Recherche pour le Développement)\n\n\nJorge Dubcovsky (University of California Davis)\n\n\nJorge José Casal (IFEVA)\n\n\nLaura Moody (University of Oxford)\n\n\nLaura Ragni (Universität Freiburg)\n\n\nRoss Sozzani (North Carolina State University)\n\n\nYuki Hirakawa (Gakushuin University)\n\n\nAbstract submissions\nWe particularly welcome abstract submissions from early career researchers and those from groups underrepresented in science. We will be promoting our Symposium to a diversity of research institutions and countries. If you know of any people\, research groups or institutions you think would be interested in presenting a short talk and/or poster\, please share this website with them or contact us at sls@slcu.cam.ac.uk. \nYou must submit a 250-word maximum abstract if you wish to be considered for presenting a short talk\, flash talk or poster. \n\nShort Talk: 15-minute live talk\nFlash Talk & Poster: Pre-recorded 5-minute talk and live poster presentation\nPoster Only: Live poster presentation\n\nKey Dates\n\n\n29 April:  Abstract submissions close\n\n\n13 May:  Confirmation of talk/poster acceptance\n\n\n4 August:  In-person and online standard attendance registration payment deadline\n\n\n26 August:  In-person late attendance registration payment deadline\n\n\n16 September:  Online late attendance registration and payment deadline
