Held up by camels on the way to Melkassa Research Centre in Ethiopia's Rift Valley. Good excuse for getting to work late over here! @QAAFI

Well done Temesgen! It's been a privilege to work with you in Australia and Ethiopia. And some exciting data too on root architecture in sorghum!

Really impressive young scientist. I expect to see great things from him in the future

This will be a great conference to discuss how we translate 'photosynthesis' science into yield gains in the field.

Science is in the process of turning #photosynthesis traits into the future source of the yield gains that the world needs to maintain food security, particularly of bread wheat and rice: bit.ly/2D8UDZC || #GroundCover #agchatoz

Great to see this sort of progress!

Fantastic collaboration with the EIAR chickpea team on modernizing crop breeding programs to increase the rate of genetic gain, funded by The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. A great day at Debre Zeit with Nigussie and his team, @SorgGuy, @DrHikov and other @QAAFI colleagues.

Drone image of our sorghum trial at Pirrinuan this year. Tough year. Red is soil green is standing plants. Lots of lodging so a great site for discrimination of the good and bad. Thanks to pilot and compter wrangler @laws_ken
