In this video, I take you through the state of the science on dollar spot disease in turfgrass, framed by the recent review “New Approaches to an Old Problem: Dollar Spot of Turfgrass.” We explore how this ubiquitous fungal disease (caused by Clarireedia spp.) continues to challenge turf managers, why traditional fungicide programs are increasingly under pressure, and what new genomic tools and breeding strategies may offer as solutions. I’ll break down the authors’ discussion of pathogen genomics, host–pathogen interactions, and quantitative trait loci (QTL) for resistance, while also reflecting on where future research might be headed. Whether you’re a turfgrass scientist, practitioner, or just curious about plant pathology, this video gives an accessible, evidence-based look at tackling a persistent problem in turf management.

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
