In this episode we invite you to meet 3 editors for academic journal such as Nature Foods, Theoretical and Applied Genetics, and Genetics Selection Evolution. Here you’ll find all the useful insights about getting a manuscript through the publishing process.
Third of a three-part webinar series which brought together researchers and industry to discuss the current challenges of our food system under climate change and how to influence sustainable practices through science and innovation.
Panel of speakers from industry to talk about driving sustainability and innovation in the global food industry. We discussed that one potential way to reduce the carbon footprint of food products could be via introducing a tax reduction for products that emit less CO2 during their life-cycle. When it comes to comparing food products in regard to their carbon footprint, we need to be critical when looking at the data.
Panel speakers: Jack Holden ( Sustainability Manager at Fonterra), Dr. Pia Winberg (CEO at Venus Shell Systems & PhycoHealth), Brad Vanstone (Founder of Willicroft) and Amos Palfreyman (Business Development Manager at FoodHQ)
Second of a three-part webinar series which brought together researchers and industry to discuss the current challenges of our food system under climate change and how to influence sustainable practices through science and innovation.
invited senior researchers from QAAFI to talk about the current challenges of our food system under climate change. The combined research expertise of our panelists in meat science, plant biotechnology, food safety and nutrition allowed for an engaging conversation that touched on the science behind food production and current approaches for sustainability.
Panel speakers: A/Prof. Yasmina Sultanbawa, A/Prof. Elizabeth Dann, Prof Louwrence Hoffman and Prof. Ian Godwin.
First of a three-part webinar series which brought together researchers and industry to discuss the current challenges of our food system under climate change and how to influence sustainable practices through science and innovation.
An introduction by Annie Osborn form The Good Food Institute, a nonprofit organization based in the United States. Highlighting the importance of addressing the global protein demand through research and innovation in the space of alternative proteins. We specifically talked about current advances in the development of plant-based and cell-based meat as a sustainable way to feed the growing population with a positive impact on the environment. Moreover, the discussion brought up other important considerations for human health, such as the challenges of making plant-based meat equally nutritious to its animal counterpart.

As a PhD candidate there is always that permanent thinking of I HAVE TO WRITE THE THESIS. It's a curse that keeps going until the end of your PhD (is finishing a some point). In this episode we are discussing about how to start and actually how to continue to write your manuscript that will be your baby for almost 4 years. We had the chance to interview four researcher from the University of Queensland (Australia) giving some tips and shared their experience with us!
