We are excited to welcome you to the spring 2022 season of New Phytologist Now! This season features first authors of articles recently published in New Phytologist, selected by members of our Editorial and Advisory boards.
Each event will feature up to three authors presenting their work along a common theme, hosted by a New Phytologist Editorial or Advisory Board member, followed by a live audience Q&A. All events will be recorded and available to watch on demand.
