PhD Students Caitlin Dudley, Kritika Sharma, Abhishek Soni and Chamilka Ratnayake ran an exhibit called Plant Detectives at the World Science Festival Brisbane on 22 and 23 March, 2025.
Approximately 1,900 people visited the Queensland Museum Dinosaur Garden where the Plant Success display was.
The exhibit gave attendees the opportunity to discover how plants have evolved with unique adaptions and traits to best cope with extreme environmental challenges such as heat, drought, flood and cold. Attendees could take a close-up look at plant traits and solve the puzzle of which plants can survive where.
