They may belong to the TikTok generation, but a group of Australian high schoolers is reviving the classic tradition of the student magazine. The teens believe it's more crucial than ever that their voices are heard away from the realm of social media. Student Spotlight is now up to its seventh issue and between student writers, editors and graphic designers, it can count on more than 20 volunteers to fill its pages. It is available online to all the schools of the Greater Darwin region. For these students of the social media era, going “old-school” was very appealing. “Someone has sat down and really put their time and effort into this, and I feel like there's more care, and people will take that more seriously, rather than just ‘oh, an Instagram reel, scroll',” says contributor Nicole. Featuring impactful news, edgy short stories, and sharp opinion pieces, no subject is out of bounds. “This is entirely student-driven. I'm just here as a supervisor, and I think they're showing what students are capable of when we sit back and let them take charge,” says teacher Trilokesh Chanmugam. Student Spotlight was founded by 16-year-old Pak who grew up in Hong Kong, where he says he witnessed violent arrests of young pro-democracy protesters. “I think just seeing those protests and seeing so many young people not being heard really left a long-lasting impact in how I think and how I act,” explains Pak. The students hope their magazine will give young people in Australia's Northern Territory a voice. “The Northern Territory fosters a lot of great young people and a lot of the time they have to work under less resources, but they're very resilient and they're also very good at finding different opportunities, there must be a way to showcase that,” says Pak. “Even if I'm one person, one person still makes a massive difference,” concludes Nicole.

“Evaluation of speed breeding conditions for accelerating Fusarium head blight and deoxynivalenol screening in wheat” with Nidhi Rawat and Vivek Tiwari.   Fusarium head blight (FHB), also known as head scab, is one of the most significant diseases affecting wheat, causing substantial economic losses for farmers in the U.S. and worldwide. While FHB resistant wheat lines have been identified, breeding these traits into desirable cultivars is a time-consuming process that can take decades, with uncertain success. In the U.S., particularly for spring wheat, crossing of wheat lines can typically be done only once per year due to seasonal limitations, which slow down the process of development of disease-resistant cultivars. To overcome this challenge, speed breeding—an approach that involves growing plants under extended light exposure (20–22 hours per day) to accelerate their life cycle—offers a promising solution. This technique enables multiple generations of wheat to be produced within a single year, allowing for more frequent crossings and a faster transfer of disease resistance traits into desirable cultivars. In this episode, Drs. Nidhi Rawat and Vijay Tiwari share their insights on using speed breeding techniques to accelerate the breeding of disease-resistant cultivars. Tune in to learn: ·         What is Fusarium head blight? ·         How does Fusarium head blight cause economic loss to farmers? ·         What is speed breeding? ·         How does speed breeding help in developing disease resistance cultivars? ·         What are challenges in adopting speed breeding?
