Nat and I discuss her research into a deadly plant pathogen know as Myrtle Rust that has recently influenced the Eastern Seaboard of Australia. This, in turn, is putting some of Australia’s most loved trees at risk of extinction. Nat gives us a comprehensive understanding of how this fungus operates, which species it influences, who’s taking action to manage it as well as provides some insights for solving conservation based challenges.
