E-Bulletin / 
September 2018
Welcome to another month of plant science!

A new member of the team!

First of all, I’d like to welcome our new Communications Officer, Dr. Isabel Mendoza (isabel@globalplantcouncil.org)! Please do email her if you would like us to feature any plant science events or news on our website or via our English and Spanish Twitter accounts!

GPC workshop

Hotel rooms are filling up quickly in Baltimore, so I wanted to quickly remind you about our GPC workshop!

The workshop, entitled “Enhancing Global Collaborations in Crop Science”, will be held in association with the ASA CSSA annual meeting in Baltimore, Maryland, USA, on 4th November. At this one-day event, attendees will hear from experts in both crop science research and policy, and discuss new ideas for enhancing collaboration and kickstart an initiative to address one of the world’s major food security challenges.

The workshop will cost just $20 ($30 after September 20th), and places will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis.
