“Growing your parasite is part of the art form” – a wonderful IPPS seminar by Jim Westwood about the history of the IPPS and the research on parasitic plants! The community made great strides, but there are still plenty of challenges ahead. It was also fantastic to see such a huge turnout with over 90 participants. We hope to see everyone again at the next IPPS seminar, which will be, as always, on the first Wednesday of the month!
