That’s What I Call Science ‘Tassie Plant People’ series

04 April 2022 / Published in News

That’s What I Call Science ‘Tassie Plant People’ series

Plant Success Associate PhD student (now Associate Postdoctoral Researcher), Kate Johnson recorded a series for the That’s What I Call Science radio show/podcast called ‘Tassie Plant People’ in which she interviews members of the Centre for Plant Success about their research.

EPISODE 147: Chief Investigator and UTAS Node Leader, Professor Tim Brodribb. Feeding the world, fieldwork in wild forests, navigating field-specific scientific languages, and the critical importance of plants are covered in this episode all about plant science and the Centre for Plant Success.

EPISODE 149: Associate PhD Student (now Associate Postdoctoral Researcher), Kate Johnson. Hear about Kate’s PhD research from zapping trees, to the findings, highlights, challenges and advice to other PhD students. A love of words, the excitement of looking inside of plants, along with a passion for understanding and protecting plants drives Kate’s continued love for research.
