Effectors, effectors, effectors! Come and discuss the fun in Arbuscular Mycoorhiza fungi at my poster P-241 today between 3-4 pm @ICOM_12 #ICOM12 This work has been led by @AlbinTeulet - see also https://t.co/ovRHmJIomM

Interesting discussions from the ‘other’ endomycorrhizas workshop #ICOM12 @nathsnH @DJSoilEcol @alan_wanke

[INJ Global @BuildOnINJ]

Great talk on MFRE N nutrition by @nathsnH at #ICOM12 - read the preprint here: https://t.co/C3UOaINSG7

#ICOM12 folks - more MFRE content coming up at @ICOM_12 today! Join us for the “other” endomycorrhizas workshop (1:30pm, Hall C) with Victor & @nathsnH. And after this, @scarletau_ will bring MFRE into the main hall for a second time today (Taxonomy&Evolution session, 4:40pm).

Them: “ICP-MS”
Me (nodding head): ah yes Insane Clown Posse Mass Spectrometry

.@alan_wanke gave an overview on what the genome of Mucoromycotina Fine Root endophyte can tell us about its lifestyle #ICOM12 @ICOM_12

Alex Williams @DrAWill86 doing an excellent job of presenting his research mechanism of symbiosis in plant-MFRE symbioses 🍄🌿 @ERC_Research @PPS_UoS @field_lab_UoS

Had a great time presenting our updates at #ICOM12. Wonderful session with a diversity of topics in the context of Omics&Ecology. Thanks Annegret Kohler & @RonelleRoth for putting this together!

Had an absolute blast evangelising for mycorrhizal Mucoromycotina at #npnextgen. Thanks @NewPhyt for an amazing programme of speakers. Go bulls!

If I was to order more I ❤️ Swamps baseball caps - would anyone want to buy one?

This paper represents a MAMMOTH research effort that made up Emily's MRes in @field_lab_UoS @PPS_UoS conducted mostly between COVID lockdowns.

Mega resilience, determination & brilliance shown by all involved - so lucky & proud to work with such incredible people 🤩 (🧵3/3)

We show loss of carbon inputs into #mycorrhizas caused by #aphids can be compensated for by aphid-free neighbours.

This is important because it demonstrates that arbuscular mycorrhizal nutrient exchange involves community-wide interactions between multiple players... (🧵2/3)

[INJ Global @BuildOnINJ]

Everybody needs good neighbours: @field_lab_UoS @PPS_UoS @ECORISC_CDT PhD student Emily Durant's first, first-authored paper 🤩 with @G_Hoysted @nathsnH @DJSoilEcol @dylan_childs & Steve Sait @ScienceLeeds, is out today @CurrentBiology!

It's only been 1 hour since we advertised this and places are being filled so quickly! Like Glastonbury tickets... 😂 Make sure you sign up soon on the google forms emailed across via university mailing lists. @PPS_UoS @DRN_Sheffield @MCB_Sheffield @MM_Sheffield @EEB_Sheffield

Delighted to share the news that I have been awarded a Discovery Fellowship to study the genetic drivers for host resource allocation between plant symbionts @ScienceLeeds can't wait to get started!😀🥳

Farewell #GSB2023, I’ve had such a fantastic time - wonderful to see everyone, mind blown by all the incredible soil biology I’ve seen over the last few days 🤩 until next time 👋
