Mistake / lesson learnedAlways think
‘What is the control’
Mistakes made??

Control of flowering History
Lighting to control development in commercial species
PhotoperiodismLight detecting systemTiming system
Phytochrome
Multi-gene family; different functions
FeaturesTemperature compensatedContinue under constant conditionsFrequency is about 24h; daily L/D entrain to exactly 24hPhase shifted by light
Are there two actions of light (external coincidence), or just one (internal coincidence)?
control
Phase delay
Phase advance
Short light interruptions of long dark period
Seedlings given 24h light, then either:a. 48 h dark, orb. Different durations of R at the 6th h, orc. Different durations of R at the 8th hBatches (12) from each treatment then given 10min R interruptions over rest of the dark period

Lessons learned – science research
Control the variables Devise a model Physiology is important to establish the parameters for genetic
control

Reflective writingCareers moduleKath Houston
Link to module learning outcomes3. Carry out critical reflection on your own professional progress and plan for future professional development over the long, medium and short term. 4. Actively contribute to a community of practice 5. Demonstrate engagement with professional ethics and values espoused by the University and Professional Bodies, regarding inter-alia inclusivity, quality assurance and enhancement
Lessons learned
Good at collaboration
Crucial importance of functioning communities of practice
Responsibility as supervisor
Not very good at writing up for publication!
