#UKPlantSciPresents Webinars
#UKPlantSciPresents will return in Autumn 2021.
We are recruiting speakers so please contact Geraint Parry if you want to give a talk.
Registration is free and webinars will be made freely available soon after the event. Although closed captioning/subtitles are not available for live webinars, after the event a transcription can be made available if requested. Please contact Geraint Parry about this.
The #UKPlantSciPresents webinar series runs through GoToWebinar software, which allows simple presentation with the facility for attendees to ask questions in a chat box. A selection of these questions will be moderated by the webinar chairperson.
Thanks to GARNet, the Monogram Small Grains Network, Bristol Centre for Agricultural Innovation, NovogeneUK, Arabidopsis Events UK for supporting this series.
