Dear colleagues,
We are only a week away from the start of the 2nd annual IUFRO Women in
STEM webinar event!
Please join us on the *11th and 12th of February 2025 *to celebrate
the *International
Day of Women and Girls in Science* through a *free & global* IUFRO webinar
event.
Twenty women in science will present their work related to *forests* over
four sessions:
-
Session 1 - 11th February 08:00 to 10:00 GMT
Session 2 - 11th February 20:00 to 22:00 GMT
Session 3 - 12th February 04:00 to 06:00 GMT
Session 4 - 12th February 14:00 to 16:00 GMT
-
Learn more and register by visiting our website
<https://a-48350767.hubspotpagebuilder.com/en-us/-0 >.
Please share it widely!
Regards,
Joséphine, on behalf of the organizing committee

<p>In the latest episode of <strong>Branching Out: the Forest Podcast</strong>, host Jose Bolaños (IUFRO HQ) and cohost <strong>Nilo Wijaya (IFSA)</strong> examine the intersection of physiology and genetics with <strong>Amanda de la Torre (Nothern Arizona University)</strong> and <strong>Santiago González-Martínez (INRAE)</strong>, Co-Coordinators of IUFRO's Division 2. From genetic diversity to groundbreaking technologies, the conversation revealed how science could shape the future of forests.</p><p> </p><p>Nilo, a forest policy student at the University of Gadjah Mada in Indonesia, brought some fresh perspectives. While Santiago shared his fascination with conifers, showcasing their remarkable adaptations to diverse environments, such as fire resistance of species in the Canary Islands, and Amanda reflected on her journey from studying Amazonian trees in Peru to exploring the genomic complexities of conifers like Douglas fir.</p><p> </p><p>The two Co-Coordinators emphasized the importance of collaboration within IUFRO's global network. "Genetic diversity is our insurance for an uncertain future," Santiago noted. Amanda encouraged young researchers to ask bold questions, underscoring the role of creativity in scientific discovery.</p><p> </p><p>From Gymnosperms to the transformative power of genomics, this episode offers a whole spectrum of tools for our forests' survival. <strong>We invite you to tune in to Branching Out: the forest podcast</strong>.

Dear colleagues,
This is a FINAL REMINDER that the deadline for abstract submission to the 8th IUFRO International Workshop on Resistance Mechanisms and Breeding in Forest Trees is in a week (January 15, 2025)!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We cordially invite you to participate in the 8th IUFRO International Workshop on Resistance Mechanisms and Breeding in Forest Trees organized by IUFRO WPs 7.03.11 (Tree Resistance to Insects and Pathogens) and 2.02.15 (Breeding and Genetic Resources of Five-Needle Pines).
When: June 1 to 6, 2025
Where: Vernon, British Columbia, Canada
Registration is now open: Please visit the website<https://evoque.swoogo.com/iufro2025/begin > for more details and to register. The new deadline for early bird registration is February 10, 2025.
Abstract submission: We are now accepting abstract<https://evoque.swoogo.com/iufro2025/6084000 > submissions through the website. The new deadline for abstract submission is January 15, 2025.
The Tree Resistance Workshops series provides an international forum to discuss the status and future plans for both tree resistance breeding programs and scientific research efforts in the field of tree resistance mechanisms against pathogens and insects. The topics of discussion will include, among others, conventional tree breeding initiatives, ecology and genetics of resistance and tree-antagonistic relationships in natural and managed tree populations, mechanisms of recognition and signaling of biotic damage and plant defensive strategies, comparative genomics, GWAS, genomic selection and other genomic initiatives looking for resistance, interactive effects of abiotic stressors with biotic resistance, the role of microbiome in resistance, and new methods, technology, and tools for resistance screening. The primary audience is those involved with operational breeding programs as well as academic researchers and extension professionals. We welcome the participation of students and early career professionals.
Become a sponsor and help make this workshop a huge success. Sponsorship money will be used to keep registration costs low. Please visit our sponsorship<https://evoque.swoogo.com/iufro2025/sponsorship > page and download the sponsorship package with details about how your organization can help and take advantage of exposure at this international event!

Nicholas Ukrainetz (Nicholas.Ukrainetz(a)gov.bc.ca<mailto:Nicholas.Ukrainetz@gov.bc.ca>) or Caterina Villari (cvillari(a)uga.edu<mailto:cvillari@uga.edu>).
