Great workshop "Plant Sciences in the Anthropocene", #Plants, www.youtube.com/watch?v=iAc8... to see the videos of the seminars go to www.youtube.com/@institutpas...

Most of the talks will be soon available online ;-)!

#PlantWorkshop at @spsplantsciences.bsky.social, to end with an optimistic vision, see the workshop poster and its transformation (by G. Krouk) for the possible evolution of the Anthropocene, and the place of plants, agriculture and scientists in this evolution ! Thanks to all participants !

#PlantWorkshop at @spsplantsciences.bsky.social, and Olivier Martin (IPS2, IPA, SPS, Paris-Saclay) closed the workshop with interesting discussions about organizing new meetings at IPA and the expected outputs of the workshop

#PlantWorkshop at @spsplantsciences.bsky.social, then Wolfang Busch (@rootstrapping.bsky.social) gave the final presentation, bringing the workshop about "Harnessing Plants for Direct Carbon Removal: Generating Long-Lived Soil Carbon"

#PlantWorkshop at @spsplantsciences.bsky.social, we had the two last, but not the least, talks Friday morning ! First Kazuki Saito gave a great talked about "The challenge of phytochemical genomics in the Anthropocene" ,
