We have another PhD position to explore the ecological and evolutionary significance of stress-induced epigenetic changes in plants. #GARNetweets #PhD @PPS_UoS. With @StuartACampbell and @LukeTDunning. Interested? Check here for details: https://t.co/scC6EuPY7k

New kit 😄 Had an awesome week with my team at @UoMMIB / @OfficialUoM learning how to use our microwave digester & having a play with our epic new Growbot Alpha plant growth chambers 😊 (Thanks @a_moschopoulos we’re super happy with them) #EnvironmentalMicrobiology #PlantScience

[Alexis Moschopoulos @a_moschopoulos]

@dunkie_c @UoMMIB @OfficialUoM Thanks @dunkie_c , I'm glad you like them! 😊

[Alexis Moschopoulos @a_moschopoulos]

@ThisSunOfYork Thank you for your recommendation! I'm very glad we were able to help!

[Tom Bennett @ThisSunOfYork]

We honestly couldn’t have done this work without these chambers @a_moschopoulos! Would strongly recommend them to anyone looking to accurately run experiments across a range of environmental conditions, or looking for a highly precise phenotyping set-up!

[Alexis Moschopoulos @a_moschopoulos]

Great to see the first paper published using our Grobot α plant growth chambers, from @pablidopsis
@ThisSunOfYork and @CHollyWalker. Can Grobots help you in your research? Find out more here: https://t.co/g4qKtYY2UI

[Pablo González-Suárez @pablidopsis]

Super proud to finally see this out! My first ever first-author paper 🤩

Grobot α are benchtop controlled environment plant growth chambers for small plants and tissue culture. Learn more at https://t.co/049cZ49bdc

Here's Paul from @BiologyatYork using one to grow "Micro Tom" tomatoes. Thanks @JasonDaff for the photo! #plantscience #tissueculture

[Charles Melnyk @CharlesMelnyk]

A two-year Postdoc position is available in my group @_SLU to study the role of non-coding RNAs during plant regeneration. In collaboration with @marquardtlab and funded by @novonordiskfond. Start date summer 2023. Please RT! #plantscijobs

In-chamber phenotyping and monitoring is made easier in a Grobot thanks to the integrated camera, plus you can make cool time lapse videos like this! 🍅🌱

[Alexis Moschopoulos @a_moschopoulos]

@JasonDaff and Paul Scott at @BiologyatYork borrowed a Grobot α to grow aeroponic “Micro Tom” tomatoes to test out the chamber. Here’s the timelapse - 81 days in 15 seconds - and ripe tomatoes in November! https://t.co/E62srG7lde #plantscience

Fun times at the Great Yorkshire Show! Spoke to people about growing food in space - our collaboration with @HCWr1ght @LukeFountain8 @dunkie_c et al - and our plant growth chambers for scientific research https://t.co/E62srG6NnG. Thanks @susfoodshef for inviting us!

[Besiana Sinanaj @BesianaX]

My latest oil painting 'Symbiosis' is almost complete! Looking forward to sharing it with you and giving a talk on MFRE fungi @NewPhyt Next Gen conference this month. Here are some excerpts of the detailing... 🎨 #sciart #mycorrhiza #fungi #art #fineart

[Alexis Moschopoulos @a_moschopoulos]

Yesterday we showed our Grobot chamber at the @royalsociety for the 10th anniversary of @FraunhoferCAP. Great talks and discussions with physicists, policy makers, and industrialists. Thanks to Henry Bookey for inviting us! https://t.co/E62srG6NnG #plantscience #verticalfarming

We made a timelapse of tomato plants growing in our Grobot α plant growth chamber for 10 days. See how fast they grow!

Wow so excited to get this project funded and work on this project with @LukeFountain8 and Alexis from Grobotic Systems. Thanks so much @susfoodshef for the opportunity.

[Alexis Moschopoulos @a_moschopoulos]

We recently had a great article about Grobotic Systems published in Vertical Farming Daily -https://t.co/vf43XhzrQc #verticalfarming #plantscience #urbanfarming #hydroponics

"Masters students have expertise that we don’t have in house. They are carrying out time consuming research, which is useful to our business”

Connections made through #MDClubSheff helped Grobotics get in touch with @ShefACSE
