@matthiaserb.bsky.social and @ainhoamartinez.bsky.social !

We’ve been a bit quiet on here lately… because we’ve been swamped with experiments! 🐛🌿 Spring is peak season in our lab — not just for plants, but also for the larvae we work with. When they thrive, so does our research! Here’s a look at what we’ve been up to in the greenhouses lately

Exploraremos cómo los microorganismos del microbioma vegetal ayudan a las plantas a defenderse de plagas y enfermedades, ofreciendo una alternativa natural y sostenible para la protección de cultivos en un contexto de agricultura ecológica. @ainhoamartinez.bsky.social @molecolab.bsky.social

Preprint alert: We investigated how maize root bacteria - alone vs in community - tolerate and metabolise antimicrobial compounds of their host plant. The capacity to metabolise such a toxin impacted community size, structure and importantly, fitness. Happy reading... www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

It’s a pleasure to collaborate with this excellent team, and we look forward to continuing our work together. Thank you, Mojca, for your dedication and contributions! See you soon! ✈️

Además de visibilizar la investigación en el ámbito agrario, el encuentro es un excelente ejercicio de formación, permitiendo a los doctorandos mejorar sus habilidades de comunicación científica y recibir feedback constructivo. ¡Un gran espacio para el futuro de la ciencia agraria! 🌾🧬

Excited to share 2nd milestone of 2025. I have been awarded #MSCA-PostdoctoralFellowship to study microbe induce resistance to nematodes. I am grateful for the incredible support from mentors @ainhoamartinez.bsky.social @szytynska.bsky.social, colleagues @liverpooluni.bsky.social and wider community

Struggling with sharing your work? Have you felt the fear of visibility when is time to press "post"? Then you're not alone! We're having a FREE workshop to give you some tools that will help you stop hiding 🎊 Registration here ⇒ buff.ly/4idh0OV #AcademicSky #ECRchat #WomeninSTEM #Postdoc #NewPI

🔬🌱 ¡Nuestro grupo está en la XI Reunión del Grupo Especializado de Microbiología de Plantas de la SEM! 🦠📢 Durante estos días en Granada, parte de nuestro equipo está compartiendo su trabajo, intercambiando ideas y aprendiendo de los últimos avances en microbioma de plantas. 📸👇 #MiP2025 #SEM
