I hope you're enjoying the season, whichever one it is where you are. Here, despite the ongoing heat, it feels like summer is coming to an end and the academic year is gearing up. Something else that is starting up is the next round of the Tansley Medal competition. Applications are open for the 2023 New Phytologist Tansley Medal for excellence in plant science.It's a three-step process. You start with an application by sending a CV, personal statement and a supporting reference. Next, successful applicants are invited to write a single-authored Tansley Insight for New Phytologist. Finally, all the articles that pass through peer review are published in New Phytologist, and the judges choose the winner from these articles. I'm a fan of the Tansley Insights, they're short but useful articles on recent developments plant science. They're also free to access, so even if you don't win if you're published you're still likely to get read by plenty of people. The deadline for applications is the first of November 2022.This week I went to a cafe for the first time since... April I think. Assuming I didn't catch COVID there, the newsletter should be with you at the same time next week. Until then, take care.Alun (webmaster@botany.one)
