I am at #Monogram2026 today presenting my poster on pearl millet-rice intergrafts! 🌾 My research focuses on their physiological performance under extreme drought stress, specifically looking at how we can improve water-use efficiency and drought tolerance💧 #PlantScience
A perfect end to #Monogram2026! 🌾 Our team of researchers and visiting colleagues had an incredible time sharing posters and talks this week. It is the hard work and dedication of these individuals that drive our research in plant resilience forward.

Postdocs are the hidden powerhouse of academia. I am proud to have started the journey to rebuild an active and sustainable postdoc association at the School of Life Science, Essex

Last day #Monogram2026! Besides talking about cereal grafting for drought tolerant trait transfer, I reconnected with colleagues, peers, friends and made new connections. Thanks to AAB and Monogram Network for awarding me a Travel Grant. @aabiologists.bsky.social @thepallavisinghlab.bsky.social
🌱 Celebrate 🌱
We heard how the BiPS Research Excellence Award has opened doors for Charlene Dambire & @crispus-mbaluto.bsky.social, giving them visibility and confidence as they grow their scientific careers!
