Our final intern diary for now comes from @PhoebeSwift6 who learnt lots of #Bioinformatics and #rstats skills working on alder genomes @KewScience tinyurl.com/2d2d5497
It's great to see more coverage of the efforts to produce disease resistant elm in the media this week, with quotes from our own @RJABuggs @KewScience who works on the #genomics of elm. @GravetyeCharity @wakehurst_kew @Forest_Research bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
Our second #internship diary is from @SK_Davies_ whose varied experience @Forest_Research included spatial data modelling with #rstats and fieldwork at a @BactPlantDis site and a visit to @KewScience @kewgardens tinyurl.com/s5fdrbty
Learn all about two of our native keystone species, and how to spot acute oak decline. Reporting cases of acute oak decline via TreeAlert help our scientists at @Forest_Research and @KewScience to understand the spread of the disease.
