Hi Bev,
Please send this copy of my seminar pdf to all faculty, research associates/postdocs, grad students and technicians in Plant Science. Thanks!
To my Plant Science colleagues: Here are the slides from my seminar presentation yesterday. I covered a significant amount of literature, and this pdf provides details on those references in case you might want to follow up. Thanks again for your interest. The presentation demonstrates that I see Plant Science is a critical part of a climate smart food security solution with endless opportunities for new knowledge creation. But bringing Plant Science into the larger global discussion on environment and food security requires more systems thinking and a greater awareness of other processes (where knowledge is also evolving) within the agricultural system.
Best wishes - and I am always open to further discussion, Martin
