Uta's visit

On Monday Uta Paszkowski from Plant Sciences at Cambridge visited the Institute to give a seminar and meet with everyone. What a live wire. A very interesting seminar highlighting how more complex the signalling is between AM fungi and plants than rhizobia and legumes. Regine invited Christine and I to join Uta, herself and members of the lab for dinner at the Zur Sonne in the evening. I did enjoy the white asparagus and fish, and the Schnapps to finish the evening. Uta and I are guest editors of the Biotic Interactions issue of Current Opinion in Plant Biology which will be published in August but there was not too much time to discuss our editorial - maybe next week in Cambridge.
