In addition to attending the TBA field course in Kenya I also obtained BSPP funding for a summer student position at Rothamsted Research in Harpenden, Hertfordshire. I worked with Dr Jon West in the plant pathogen interactions division. I carried out a project on ergot and fusarium of wheat. I arrived at Rothamsted at the time when the wheat was flowering and is susceptible to infection so I was able to carry out inoculation and air sampling experiments in the field. The project aimed to look at the airborne inoculum of the two diseases.
