The New Phytologist Tansley Medal for Excellence in Plant Science for 2023 has been awarded to Martina Legris, a Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Lausanne. Legris studies plant developmental plasticity, focusing on plant perception and response to light and temperature signals. Her notable contribution includes the discovery that the phytochrome B photoreceptor acts as a temperature sensor. The article also mentions four outstanding runners-up for the medal: Adrien Burlacot, James Clark, Jenn Coughlan, and Jiorgos Kourelis. The Tansley Medal competition is an annual event, and applications for the 2024 medal are currently being accepted. [Extracted from the article]

The answer - that hot droughts are especially hard on trees, and that climate change was super-charging the frequency and severity of hot droughts - drove home to me that climate change is happening now.
