Recently, I was sitting in the 24/7 library at ANU, watching a viral Senate estimates clip on my small laptop screen. In this clip, our interim vice-chancellor revealed that the catastrophic implosion of ANU management over the past year had cost the university a mammoth $100 million in reputational costs.
Whilst watching, I also noticed in the corner of my eye a student, wrapped in their jacket, asleep on one of the couches in the library. I left for the evening, having finished my work.
KAUST study reveals how plants protect photosynthesis during extreme heat

Researchers at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) have uncovered how plants protect photosynthesis under high temperatures, revealing a pathway that could help guide the development of more resilient crops for desert climates, such as those in Saudi Arabia. In a study led by Professor Monika Chodasiewicz, the team identified a previously underappreciated protective mechanism inside chloroplasts, where photosynthesis occurs. When temperatures rise, a chlorophyll-producing protein called protochlorophyllide oxidoreductase reorganizes into small, reversible droplets known as chloroplast stress granules. These structures help protect and restore the plant's ability to convert sunlight into chemical energy. © KAUST

Heat waves are arriving sooner and becoming hotter, with the United Kingdom recording May 25 as its hottest day in May since tracking began more than a century ago, only for the record to be broken again the next day. While humans can turn to artificial means of cooling, such as air conditioning or swimming pools, plants are left to cope with heat and frequently co-occurring droughts on their own. Sarah M. Assmann, Waller Professor of Biology at Penn State, is working to better understand how plants respond to environmental signals—and is applying that understanding to develop crops more resilient to environmental stress.
