In the rapidly evolving world of food technology, few names resonate as profoundly with innovation and sustainable development as Professor Mark Tester. As a luminary in plant science at the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST), Professor Tester has dedicated his career to addressing some of the most pressing challenges in agriculture. Serving as the Associate Director of the Center for Desert Agriculture, his work is pivotal in transforming arid landscapes into fertile grounds for food production. Professor Tester's journey in plant science is marked by significant achievements and contributions. Before his tenure at KAUST, which began in February 2013, he was celebrated as an ARC Federation Fellow and professor of plant physiology at the University of Adelaide. It was there he spearheaded The Plant Accelerator initiative, a cornerstone in plant phenomics research. His academic prowess was nurtured at the University of Cambridge, where he not only served as a Senior Lecturer but also earned his PhD in 1988, laying the groundwork for a career that would become synonymous with groundbreaking research in plant science. In 2019, Professor Tester took on the role of Head of the Food Sector at NEOM, demonstrating his versatility and commitment to advancing food security and sustainability on a global scale. However, it is perhaps his role as co-Founder and Chief Scientist of Iyris formerly known as Red Sea Farms that best encapsulates his vision for a sustainable agricultural future. At Iyris, Professor Tester is at the forefront of developing innovative saltwater-based agricultural systems. This revolutionary approach not only promises to significantly reduce freshwater use in agriculture but also offers a resilient solution to food production in some of the world's most water-scarce regions. Through his pioneering work, Professor Tester is not just redefining the boundaries of agricultural science; he is actively contributing to the global effort to ensure food security in the face of climate change and limited natural resources. His dedication to developing sustainable food production systems reflects a deep commitment to the planet and its inhabitants, making him a beacon of hope and innovation in the quest for a more sustainable and food-secure world. As we sit down with Professor Tester on the FoodTech Junkies podcast, we delve into the mind of a scientist who is not only shaping the future of agriculture but also inspiring a new generation to think differently about how we grow our food.

Astronomers believe our Universe began in a Big Bang, and is expanding around us. Brian will describe the Universe that we live in, and how astronomers have used observations to trace our Universe's history back more than 13 billion years. We are just beginning to observe and understand how the first stars, galaxies, and black holes transformed the lifeless Universe into the vibrant Cosmos we see today. A vast array of new observatories are planned for the coming decade that will enable us to see the life history of the Universe, and better understand the ultimate fate of the Cosmos.This lecture is made possible with the support of Swinburne Astronomy Online http://astronomy.swinburne.edu.au/sao/Brian Schmidt, co-winner of 2011 Nobel Prize for Physics, is an astronomer at the Research School of Astronomy and Astrophysics at ANU. He works on a range of topics related to observational cosmology, and studies supernovae and gamma ray bursts. He is the scientific leader of the new SkyMapper Telescope and Southern Sky Survey. Brian's research has been recognized with a number of accolades, including the Gruber Prize for Cosmology, the Shaw Prize, the Vainu Bappu Medal, the Australian Academy of Science Pawsey Medal, and the Australian Government's Malcolm McIntosh Prize. Brian is an ARC Federation Fellow, a fellow of the Australian Academy of Science and the US National Academy of Science, and was the Bulletin Magazine's 'scientist of the year' in 2004.
