I really enjoyed presenting my poster and sharing my work at #IWC2026Bologna today. If you are at the conference and want to learn about Aegilops tauschii, starch or GWAS pop by my poster (PO493) over the next couple of days 🌾
Today at #IWC2026Bologna I spoke about starch granule formation in Aegilops tauschii and wheat. The fruitful discussions afterwards left me feeling excited and given me new ideas for future experiments 🧪👩🔬
Thanks to the @wheatinitiative.bsky.social for funding my travel and making this possible!
Day 3 of #IWC2026Bologna included the technical tours. I was lucky enough to visit the Barilla pasta factory where I enjoyed seeing spaghetti coming off the production line and was amazed to learn that they produce 1.1 million tonnes of pasta each year 🍝🍝
Last night we enjoyed one more round of excellent talks by @johninnescentre.bsky.social scientists telling us all about starch and proteins in wheat🌾
We were sad to wrap up yet another exciting edition of @pintofscience.uk but happy to have brought science to so many people around Norwich!
#pint26
Another fantastic science night at @pintofscience.uk, with speakers from @uniofeastanglia.bsky.social and @johninnescentre.bsky.social 🧪🌱
Grab some tickets for the last night (tonight) before they're gone!

Exciting start to #IWC2026Bologna, this morning highlighting that optimising wheat crops needs to look beyond the plant, to nutrient cycling, crop rotations, precision planting and more.

In case you didn't make it to the end of a jam-packed day of talks - I spoke about the potential of a small signalling molecule T6P to make big impacts for yield and NUE #IWC2026Bologna #cropscience #biotech photo creds @rosemcn.bsky.social

Day 1 of #IWC2026Bologna 🌾
I enjoyed hearing about how we can try and make wheat more sustainable and enjoyed meeting old (and new!) friends all connected by a common interest in wheat. Looking forward to day 2 tomorrow....
As part of #pint26 (and thanks to the hard work of
@ddpsyuea.bsky.social, Katerina Kokmotou and others) we were able to host our first BSL interpreted @pintofscience.uk event in Norwich. It was a fascinating evening of science and
a great opportunity to connect with the local deaf community
What a fantastic way to end #pint26! Over the last 3 days we've hosted 15 events in Norwich reaching over 350 people and teaching them about a whole range of subjects including why we study poo 💩, how art and science can collide 🎨 and the power of plants 🌱
