Leaf to Field, Issue 2, Summer 2015
The newsletter of the ARC Centre of Excellence for Translational Photosynthesis
Welcome from the Centre Director
Welcome to the second issue of our Leaf to Field newsletter, the last for 2015.
This issue is full of exciting news, including the funding boost of two projects in which the ARC Centre of Excellence for Translational Photosynthesis plays a key role and the award of the Prime Minister’s Science Prize to one of our Chief Investigators.
I hope you enjoy our external newsletter exploring aspects of our research and activities in the field of translational photosynthesis.
Chlorophyll fluorescence: a technological beacon for collaboration
Light, for photosynthesis researchers, is not just an object of study, but also a tool for research. Before the Year of Light comes to an end, we would like to focus our attention on one of the ways in which light has been used to study how plants photosynthesise: chlorophyll fluorescence.
In conversation with Professor Min Chen
In this conversation, Professor Min Chen, a Chief Investigator at the Centre and a researcher in the School of Biological Sciences at the University of Sydney, talks about her research, which sits at the start gate of the photosynthetic process.
Usually, she is the one placing the spotlight on other organisms, but today we open a little window to her life and her curiosity about plants, light, other cultures and science.
