Calling all early-stage career scientists!
The New Phytologist Tansley Medal is awarded annually in recognition of an outstanding contribution to plant science by an early career researcher (student and post-doctoral researchers with up to five years’ experience since gaining/defending their PhD are eligible). The winner will receive a prize of £2000 (GBP) and will author a Tansley insight review that will be published in New Phytologist, accompanied by an Editorial announcing the winner and finalists. The application deadline for this year’s competition is 30 November 2016.
The Tansley Medal is an opportunity to recognise an outstanding scientist in the early stages of his or her career, and supporting the next generation of plant scientists is a core aspect of the activities of the New Phytologist Trust. I would be very grateful if you would support us in this endeavour by spreading the word to anyone you know who might be eligible to apply for the 2017 Tansley Medal. If you have any queries regarding the medal or the submission process please do not hesitate to get in touch. More details on the Tansley Medal can be found at: http://www.newphytologist.org/tansleymedal.

In Current Plant Biology: Microbes help plants survive in severe drought In New Phytologist: Plant diversity alleviates the effects of flooding on crops In Nature Plants: Future drought will offset benefits of higher CO2 on soybean yields From Journal of Experimental Botany: A recent Special Issue of Journal of Experimental Botany comes in response to the particularly fast-moving pace of discovery in peptide signalling. New work by Patrizia Trifiló et al. shows that water transport beyond the xylem is important in explaining the decline of whole-leaf hydraulic conductance with dehydration.
