Congratulations to Dr Hari Upadhyaya, head of the ICRISAT genebank, on being awarded the Frank N. Meyer Medal for Plant Genetic Resources by the Crop Science Society of America. If you’re going to the award breakfast, you’ll be able to hear Hari talk in person about “Crop germplasm to overcome challenges to global food and nutritional security.” If you’re not going, here’s a taste of what you’ll be missing. Well done, Hari!
