BBSRC logo

Posted on June 3, 2018June 3, 2018 by et Al.

IMG_9310croppedPutting together some ideas for a poster to showcase our research for an upcoming visit by the BBSRC to the University of Glasgow.

Was doodling the BBSRC logo. BBSRC stands forĀ Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council and is theĀ largest UK public funder of non-medical bioscience.

BBSRC’s mission is to “promote and support, by any means, high-quality basic, strategic and applied research and related postgraduate training relating to the understanding and exploitation of biological systems”.

Intrigued with the 3 circle icons to the left of the letter logo. What do they represent? Possibly antibodies recognising antigens? or are they pollen granules? or viruses…or bacteria? circular plasmid DNA? …or maybe they are the aliens species that, as part of a new strategic focus, we will be a new intensive research focus – probably after the year 2050?

Answers on a postcard for any more ideas as to what they might represent.

Welcome to 'It's About Time' - a blog about circadian clocks and temperature - created by Plant Scientists at the University of Glasgow and The James Hutton Institute @Dundee.

Follow us as we investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying how plants feel temperature, knowledge that is crucial to understanding how plants - and our food crops - maintain proper timing enabling them to grow and develop efficiently.

Plants are phenomenally important to our own, and our planet's, wellbeing. Delve into our posts and pages and meet the scientists who are fascinated by these questions - we hope that you will be too!

We are grateful for the funding from our United Kingdom sponsors, the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC).
