SUMMARY:Masterclass 1: Making the Most of Interdisciplinarity
DESCRIPTION:Increasingly\, complex research challenges require interdisciplinary approaches. Increasingly\, too\, funders require interdisciplinarity. This masterclass will describe what interdisciplinarity actually is and why it is sought\, along with the challenges and opportunities it presents to researchers. However\, the emphasis of the masterclass will be on the ‘how’ of interdisciplinarity\, offering practical guidance to researchers at all career stages. \n\n\n\nThis masterclass is for BPD project teams only. If you are employed by\, studying with\, or collaborating with one of our projects and would like to attend please email us to check if you are eligible.

SUMMARY:Innovative approaches to controlling bacterial plant diseases (webinar)
DESCRIPTION:As part of Plant Health Week\, this webinar will explore innovative biocontrol methods that could reduce the impact of bacterial plant diseases on our farms\, forests and gardens. \n\n\n\nConventional antibiotic treatments can damage the environment and are becoming less effective as bacteria evolve resistance. New approaches are urgently needed. This webinar will include three short presentations on promising new treatments and the opportunity to ask questions. \n\n\n\nTopics and speakers: \n\n\n\nBacteriophages with Dr Ville Friman (University of York and Ralstonia Phage project)Microbiome engineering with Prof James McDonald (Bangor University and Future Oak project)Disease suppressive soils with Prof Duncan Cameron (University of Sheffield and Disease Suppressive Microbes project)\n\n\n\nRegister via Eventbrite for the Zoom link \n\n\n\n(Featured image: ‘Microbe Hunting’ by Natalie Barratt of Disease Suppressive Microbes – one of the category winners in our Bac In The Picture photo competition)

SUMMARY:Plant Health Week
DESCRIPTION:Plant Health Week 2022\, coordinated by Defra\, will be held in the UK from Monday 9 to Sunday 15 May. It also coincides with the International Day of Plant Health on 12 May 2022 which is coordinated by FAO (UN). Both events are all about celebrating the benefits of healthy plants – to help to end hunger\, reduce poverty\, protect the environment\, and boost economic development. \n\n\n\nHere are BPD HQ we have been beavering away on our plans for marking #planthealthweek and #planthealthday. In particular we want to share how a better understanding of bacterial plant diseases can contribute to keeping plants healthy. We’ll be sharing insights from our research teams\, showcasing some of our favourite plants and publishing some new blog posts. Here are some of the things you can look forward to: \n\n\n\nWebinar: Our main Plant Health Week event will be a webinar on Wednesday 11 May at 1pm. The topic is ‘Innovative approaches to controlling bacterial plant diseases’ and will feature some promising approaches being researched by our project teams. Find out more here.Plants Make Life Better: On Tuesday 10 May we’ll be encouraging everyone to post their favourite plants outside of the lab – houseplants\, tasty plants\, useful plants\, plants in art or film – with the hashtag #PlantsMakeLifeBetter Why not join in?Research In Action: On Thursday 12 May\, for International Plant Health Day\, we’ll be asking our researchers to post on social media about what they are doing in their research to help keep plants healthy with the hashtag #HelpingKeepPlantsHealthyBlog Updates: We will also be sharing some new blog posts and resources with insights into the work of our research projects.\n\n\n\nAnd that is just what we have planned! Many other organisations including RHS\, Tree Council\, Kew Gardens\, Woodland Trust and the Linnean Society are getting involved too. A highlight will be the FAO’s celebratory webinar on Thursday 12 May at 12.30pm (UK time). You can register for free here. Otherwise keep an eye on social media\, particularly #planthealthweek and #planthealthday and do join in!

SUMMARY:Odes 2 Oaks
DESCRIPTION:What do oak trees mean to you? Can you imagine a world without them?\n\n\n\nUnfortunately our iconic oak trees face several threats from pests and diseases including Acute Oak Decline. Unchecked these threats could mean a future without oak trees in our streets\, parks and countryside. We think that our oak trees are too valuable to be lost so our researchers are working hard to find ways to prevent and treat these diseases. Our oak trees need your help too! \n\n\n\nWhat you can do\n\n\n\nCan you help us tell the story of why oaks are so valuable? Can you share what oaks mean to you? We are inviting everyone who loves oaks to submit an Ode 2 Oaks. \n\n\n\nYou can submit an ode or tribute to oaks in many different forms. For example; \n\n\n\nA photographA drawing or paintingA songA storyA poemAn object made of oakA heartfelt message explaning how oaks make you feel or why oaks are so important to you and societyOr anything else you can think of…\n\n\n\nWhat’s in it for you\n\n\n\nBy participating you’re not only helping to protect Britain’s oak trees\, you’ll also have the chance to win a £25 gift voucher and you might see your contribution featured on our website and social media. \n\n\n\nSubmissions are being gathered via this Shortstack form. The closing date for submissions is 31 March 2022. \n\n\n\n\nClick here to submit your Ode 2 Oaks\n\n\n\n\nHelp us spread the word\n\n\n\nYou can help oak trees even more by spreading the word about Odes 2 Oaks. \n\n\n\nTell your friends and family\, teacher\, work colleagues and other people you know love treesShare the word about Odes 2 Oaks on social media using #odes2oaks or retweet this tweetDownload a printable posterShare the video below
