The American Society of Plant Biologists has launched a virtual seminar series, Plantae. Our goal is to pair one well-recognized researcher with another nearer the beginning of their career to deliver a broad range of scientific topics, facilitate interesting discussions, and provide unique networking opportunities.
These virtual events are free and open to all. Anyone is welcome to join the webinars, share questions and comments for the speakers, and volunteer to present their own research. Presentations will be 20 minutes each and will be followed by 10 minutes of live question and answer.
We encourage participation from scientists at all career stages and from around the world. Each week we will alternate timezones so that we may better reach and serve a global audience. Recordings and discussions will be posted within a few days of the virtual event so those who are unable to participate live will still have a chance to listen in and engage.
Our current line-up is as follows:
- Wednesday April 8th | Matt Gilliham (Waite Research Institute, University of Adelaide) and Dominique Bergmann (Stanford University).
