Going virtual: MARPLE diagnostics training in the Covid era |
|
To safeguard the roll out of the MARPLE diagnostics method across Ethiopia, this summer Ethiopian researchers congregated in Addis Ababa for the project’s first virtual training workshop. The workshop, held from 9 to 12 August, represented a milestone in what is now possible with remote learning. MARPLE diagnostics is a new innovative approach for fungal crop pathogen diagnostics developed by Dr Saunders’ team at the John Innes Centre. |

The BGRI was thrilled to present Cally Arthur with an honorary Women in Triticum mentor award for her extraordinary service to the wheat community at the 2021 BGRI Workshop. |
|
Cally Arthur joined the Durable Rust Resistance in Wheat project in 2009, and she has been a vital member of the global wheat science community ever since. In that time she has been a steadfast contributor to the DRRW project and the Delivering Genetic Gain in Wheat project. For 12 years, she has been a source of wisdom, strength, and, yes, much needed levity for the BGRI community.
Cally will be retiring from Cornell at the end of this year. The wheat community is stronger and more resilient because of her efforts. We are honored to give her this award, and thank her for all that she has done. Thank you, Cally.
