In teaching thermodynamics, in 2019, I gave a lecture on the ascent of sap in a tree, analyzed using the basic algorithm of thermodynamics (BAT). https://t.co/YKsYhy8WnM
A student in the class gave me a present—his drawing of a BAT on a tree.
Check out the newest paper from our lab led by @Jess_Gersony in @NewPhyt! We used Raman spectroscopy to increase our understanding of phloem functioning in mature red oak trees - implications for thinking about carbon movement in drought!
The second chapter from my dissertation is now in early view @NewPhyt!!! We developed a new method using Raman spectroscopy to SEE the amount of sugar in leaf phloem of large trees! SPOILERS BELOW regarding turgor buffer for drought and passive loading! https://t.co/grQPboonfS
Let's get ready to move! Join us for an upcoming After-School Animal Encounter: Movement (FREE / VIRTUAL) on Wednesday, May 19th, 3pm. Register here: https://t.co/DsLYNMtKVv. Join human museum staffers Javier and Ryan as they take a look at some of our amazing animals in motion.
Congratulations to @EJWErin on the completion of their undergraduate thesis entitled "Squeezed Until They Burst: Does calcium affect the mechanical properties of leaf cell walls?" Way to go, Erin! The Holbrook Lab is really proud of you!
Join friends of the Holbrook Lab @frondley_fern and @BiodiversityBen for a virtual screening of their new video "Movement without Muscles: The Sensitive #Fern" being held on April 21st! Great work, guys!
Don't miss this #EarthDay virtual event! On 4/21 @BiodiversityBen & Jacob @frondley_fern will present "Let's Botanize!" with a screening of their video "Movement without Muscles: The Sensitive #Fern" followed by a Q&A (@ArnoldArboretum co-sponsored). https://t.co/7NfKjIWoE1
