Last year I spent a fun day with @ScopeAU filming a segment about the phenotyping tech we use at @agtbreeding. It aired the other week, but is now available in youtube form! youtu.be/MIeP-lfvzF0

Look out, I'll be making my TV debut in the near future! Had a lot of fun filming yesterday with the @ScopeTV11 team.
We’re out on the farm to see how tech attached to a tractor can help us learn more about wheat! 👩‍🌾👨‍🌾 @agtbreeding #Wheat #WheatBreeding #ScopeTV

We moved into new offices, but this wall has been left open for a few weeks now. I knew what I had to do.
