FABI hosted a second publication party for the year on Tuesday 16 November. These events celebrate the first peer-reviewed journal publications from the MSc and PhD studies of FABI students working in the Tree Protection Co-operative Programme (TPCP) or DSI-NRF Centre of Excellence in Plant Health Biotechnology (CPHB) . FABI Director Prof. Bernard Slippers congratulated Felipe Balocchi (PhD), Caitlyn Gevers (PhD), Daniella Kramer (MSc), Frances Lane (MSc) and Luki-Marie Scheepers (PhD) on this significant achievement in their careers as young scientists.
