Today's my last day at @slcuplants. On Monday I start a @royalsociety University Research Fellowship @PPS_UoS, working on how #AbscisicAcid patterns regulate #Leaf #WaterRelations. I'm so grateful for the last 7 years in @xanderjones82's group who I'm really going to miss. (1/3)

[Jim Rowe @BotanicalJim]

@slcuplants @royalsociety @PPS_UoS @xanderjones82 I would like to thank @xanderjones82 and @casson_stuart @StomataSheff for their help with my application. I'll be advertising PhD studentships in 2025, so if you have good undergrads who love plants, imaging, water use, 3D printing or microcontrollers, to send them my way! (3/3)

@FranziFichtner from @HHU_de is presenting fascinating insights on behalf of her PhD student, Hannah Lepper, about the role of trehalose 6-phosphate and TREHALOSE-6-PHOSPHATE SYNTASE in the evolution of land plants. #MAdLand2024

[Andy Plackett @SeedEvolution]

Thank you again to the organising committee @watertoland for allowing me to come and give a talk. It's been a great meeting so far 🙂.
