Happy to announce that Sara Loftus successfully defended her PhD thesis @uni-goettingen.de. Starting from Day-1 of the #MoreCropPerDrop project, she performed excellent work in advancing our understanding of key #sorghum #belowground #root and #rhizosphere traits under #stress.
Very proud today 🍾.

Proud of my "root-&-rhizosphere" team at #DBG2025 on Tuesday: Nipuna Withanage reported from #RootWayS (#BMFTR), Moses Ngugi from the #TERRA pre-project on functions of biodiverse Kenyan grasslands & Rozy Munene + Manisha Koirala from the #MoreCropPerDrop project in sub-Saharan Africa. Great Job 👍
