It was fun speaking to the @MU_CCFI_Biotech team during #IWC2024Perth about our wheat research @ourANU plus the importance of building a more inclusive community #WomeninCropScience
We really enjoyed speaking with Prof @AlisonRBentley, Research Group Leader at @PlantSci_ANU during #IWC2024Perth. Prof Bentley offered her insights on her research, the global cereal nitrogen challenge and the efforts being undertaken to make wheat research more inclusive.
