Building a rhizobox imaging station

Field Trip In Debre Zeyt (Ethiopia)

From January 18th to February 2nd, I spent two weeks in Debre Zeyt, Ethiopia, as part of my task for the BBSRC GCF project I am currently working on (further details at http://chickpearoots.org). We provided in-situ support to build a rhizobox imaging station, replicating the setup we had built in Edinburgh. It has been an incredible experience, from the professional and personal point of view. The take-away thought was: international cooperation is important in collaborative research.
