Hello fellow plant lovers!

You may have noticed that I unexpectedly "disappeared" over the last few weeks.

The reason is that I was attending my PhD graduation ceremony at Imperial College London on June 3rd! After that, I was very busy hosting guests from the USA at our home and taking them on tours of the Cotswolds. After all that excitement, I came down with a nasty cold that I'm still recovering from.

I'm looking forward to returning to posting next week, with impressions of the postgraduate graduation ceremony, reflections on the PhD journey, highlights of our Cotswolds adventures, and more posts about the wonders of plant science.

Many thanks for your support on this journey.

best wishes, Dr. Katia Hougaard
