Discovery of viruses

Reporting a new virus

As promised, this time I am talking about my latest publication, or rather, why we decided to publish this small report. In other words, what to do when you find a new virus with potential impact on agriculture? In case you are curious, this short report is available here: https://bsppjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/ndr2.70017.

Apologies and general chitchat

It has been a while... Today I am talking about scientific outreach, different events, courses and conferences, and I hope to do better in next month. Link to my article in RTE Brainstorm: https://www.rte.ie/brainstorm/2025/0205/1494846-5-ways-viruses-can-help-plants/
