We are joined by Professor Tim Colmer for a chat in this episode. Tim is a plant physiologist who conducts research into stress tolerance of plants, particularly in conditions where there is high salinity, drough, or waterlogging. Tim is also the Deputy Vice Chancellor of Research at the University of Western Australia. We chat with Tim about his research, and how his area of work intersects with public health in relation to food security. We also talk with Tim about the involvement he has with health and medical science research at UWA in his role as DVC of Research. We pick Tim's brain about how he has seen UWA change over the 25 years he has been working there as an academic, and what things may look like as the sector navigates its way past COVID19.
