With a hiatus in our research conference program, AACS has encouraged researchers to present their amazing work at lunchtime seminar sessions.
The presentations are recorded and made available on our Seminar Series page.
AACS has gone social
As part of our commitment to the promotion of Australian Cotton Science, the AACS is embarking on a social media journey, starting with Twitter but with possible expansion to other platforms.
The aim of the Association engaging in the Twittersphere is to provide an additional platform to:
- Promote our members and their research;
- Facilitate communication between our members, further encouraging cross-agency and cross-discipline collaboration;
- Allow members to further engage in international cotton science; and
- Promote events co-ordinated by the AACS or relevant to AACS members.
Our twitter handle is @AusCottonSci, and use the hashtag #AACS in tweets that you’d like the AACS to interact with.
Next AACS Conference Delayed Until 2022
Given the postponement of the Gold Coast Australian Cotton Industry Conference which is now scheduled for August 2021, we considered it prudent to delay our next event until the following year. Cotton Australia have confirmed that the industry conference will continue every second year from the delayed date (2021, 2023 etc.). The AACS conference will therefore follow suit with our events now occurring in 2022, 2024 etc.
More information will be available closer to the event.
AACS shirts a hit
Plenty of our members have been wearing the new AACS shirts.
Thankyou to everyone for your orders, we exceeded the minimum 50 shirts required for the order.
Special thanks to Larissa Thurn (CSIRO, cotton breeding team) for doing the leg work with getting these sorted and out to people.
We will consider running this offer again closer to the next AACS conference, so stay tuned.
