About PALSA:
Invited talks will showcase state-of-the-art synchrotron research aimed at measuring time-dependent physical, chemical and biological processes in soils, plants, the rhizosphere, animals and micro-organisms of relevance to agricultural systems. The conference will also welcome contributed oral, and poster presentations and will include ample time for Q&A and open discussions.
We are excited to announce that PALSA 2023 will now include a workshop, “X-ray Methods & Resources for Agricultural Science”, to take place on July 11th, the day prior to the main program on July 12th-14th. The workshop will feature a slate of technique and facility experts providing a program of tutorials on techniques and descriptions of state-of-the-art facilities. Watch this space for additional updates and details!
PALSA 2023 is organized along four themed sessions listed below, each of which will feature both invited and contributed talks. Poster sessions on Wednesday July 12th and Thursday the 13th will provide additional opportunities for researchers to meet and interact. Thursday’s rich program will include opportunities to tour the Cornell High Energy Synchrotron Source as well as the resources associated with Cornell’s many programs in Plant, Agriculture and Food Sciences, and special programming for Industry representatives seeking to engage with Cornell’s many programs and faculty engaged in plant, agriculture, and food sciences. Please contact Greg Ray (gpr36@cornell.edu) for further information on Industrial Engagement.
