Calling for content for Phytogen
We would like to encourage our community and especially the discipline representatives to (i) contribute to Phytogen and (ii) contribute to education media and (iii) post/re-post on social media, add @asps_ozplants to your relevant content. Tweet to @asps_ozplantsand facebook, https://www.facebook.com/ASPSozplants/. Ask your colleagues, teachers and students to send articles to the websites and communications team for publishing on Phytogen.
In the December edition of Phytogen, there will be an article by Beth Loveys.
As we are nearing the end of the year, we would like to take time to thank Gonzalo Estavillo and Chris Cazzonelli for their contributions to ASPS website and media communications over the past few years. Both of these researchers have been passionate about communicating plant science to the community and its dissemination to fellow researchers, teachers, students and children.
