She is a representative for Australia’s Terrestrial Ecosystem Research Network (TERN) in Western Australia, and is the communications officer for the OzFlux network. Caitlin received her PhD from Monash University on a project looking at carbon fluxes and phenology dynamics in Australian tropical savannas. She then completed a four-year postdoc at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign in the USA applying her skills to phenotyping and understanding climate and management impacts in agricultural cropping systems. Back in Australia, her current research broadly focuses on understanding native and managed ecosystem interactions with climate from the leaf to landscape scale.

Dear ASPS Members,

We look forward to seeing many of your at ComBio next week. The ASPS Annual General Meeting will be held during ComBio on Thursday at 6:10 pm and we encourage you to come along. The AGM agenda and various reports are now available on the ASPS website (www.asps.org.au). We are proposing small changes to the constitution which will be voted on at the AGM. These changes can be viewed on the website. Those members who cannot attend the meeting but would like to vote can organise a proxy if they wish. We are asking for nominations to fill vacant positions of the Council so look at the agenda if you are interested and contact our Secretary Kim Johnson. K.Johnson@latrobe.edu.au

Thanks, Peter Ryan

Dear ASPS Members,

 

A reminder that the 2022 Annual Meeting for the Australian Society of Plant Scientists will be held in Melbourne (27-30 September) as part of ComBIO2022  (see ComBio2022 ).

ComBIO is the joint meeting of five biological and genetics societies from Australia and New Zealand. It provides us all with the opportunity to experience a much larger and exciting meeting and hear outstanding international and local speakers from the plant and animal worlds (including Nobel Laureate Jennifer Doudna). Among the wide range of symposia are streams dedicated to plant biology, signalling and evolution.

 

Deadline for Abstracts is Friday 24 JUNE – see the website.     Please print off the attached Poster and display it in your labs and tea rooms.

 

Note: Student members of ASPS who attend ComBIO and present a talk or poster are eligible to receive funding to support their travel. See the attached application form.

 

We encourage everyone to participate.  

Peter
