We're absolutely delighted that our former John Henry Coates Fellow, Dr Pallavi Singh, has been awarded the Society for Experimental Biology's Plant Section President Medal, for her research into water use strategies in crop plants. The medal will be awarded at this year's SEB conference in Prague in July.

The Society for Experimental Biology brings together and supports the international community of experimental biologists, and we're so proud of Pallavi for this award! Her work while she was with us contributed to marking conceptual advancement in understanding the evolution of C4 photosynthesis. She's now lecturing at the University of Essex, and we can't wait to see her continued work towards her lab's goal of developing more water-efficient crops and promoting climate-smart agriculture.
