Today is February 11, the International Day of Women & Girls in Science. This year's theme is 'water unites us': a fitting theme for cotton researchers! On this day (and all days) we recognise & acknowledge the enormous contributions of all women and girls in agricultural research and STEM.
In the Spring 2026 edition of Spotlight, read Dr Georgina Pengilley's inaugural Spotlight welcome, as she steps into the role as CRDC's Managing Director. Across this edition you can read about the Australian Cotton Conference, learn more about the innovators supported through CRDC's Innovation Call, and the emerging growers and researchers helping shape the future of Australian cotton.
