The GARNet community is pleased to announce that Dr Geraint Parry will
be taking up the role of GARNet coordinator
(http://www.garnetcommunity.org.uk/node/642). Geraint has been involved
in the plant science community since completing his PhD at the
University of Nottingham with Professor Malcolm Bennett. Subsequently he
worked at Indiana University as a postdoc in the labs of Professor Mark
Estelle and Professor Scott Michaels. For the past few years Geraint was
a lecturer at the University of Liverpool where he led an independent
research group investigating the plant nuclear pore complex.
Geraint is excited for this new opportunity to act as an advocate for
the UK plant science community. Over the next five years GARNet is
committed to encouraging Arabidopsis researchers to investigate the
translatable potential of their work, to facilitate the use of big data
to solve problems in plant science and to provide a repository of
information useful to all scientists. In addition we continue to welcome
any contributions to the GARNet blog
(http://blog.garnetcommunity.org.uk).
If you have any comments or questions then please do not hesitate to
contact Geraint at geraint from garnetcommunity.org.uk
