Teaching at @icelabumu.bsky.social Camp (multidisciplinary research proposal workshop for early career researchers) last week. One night planned electrical work in the town of Granö afforded us rare dark skies. Here you see three students enjoying the light show. Amazing. #northernlights #photosky

IceLab Camp is in full swing and the 20 students from 13 universities across 6 countries are working frantically on their multidisciplinary research proposals... and whatever the heck this is! #complexityschool #collaboration #graduateschool #stressresponsemodeling @umeauniversitet.bsky.social

📢 New research! Warming Arctic lakes may lead to higher methane production and increased greenhouse gas emissions! 🌍❄️💧 🔗More here: www.umu.se/en/news/meth... #ClimateChange #Arctic #Methane @umeauniversitet.bsky.social

Carolina Jativa, guest PhD student in IceLab from @ceabcsic.bsky.social, gave a talk on Friday last week on the effect of storm events on the metabolic activity in a Mediterranean headwater stream. She's also heading to IceLab Camp tomorrow along with 19 other early career researchers.

PAPER - Do leaf mitochondria react in different cell types similarly to carbon starvation? Olivier Keech's group show that mitochondria proteomes from mesophyll, vascular and guard cells differ especially under stress. Read more in @pplplantarum.bsky.social: doi.org/10.1111/ppl....

My latest paper is now out in Limnology and Ocenography Letters @aslo.org, titled "Emerging patterns of CO2 : O2 dynamics in rivers and their link to ecosystem carbon processing". It is open access, so go read! I am mostly proud of this figure, which I spent a lot of hours figuring out how to do it

10 days left to apply to join IceLab as a #multidisciplinary #postdoc! Are you interested in using your computational skills to address important life science questions? There is a project for you here! 👇 #complexity #complexsystems

Can we push ecosystems away from the brink of collapse? According to @ricardsole.bsky.social we can help life do just that with an interdisciplinary, #complexsystems approach guiding ecosystems towards recovery. Watch IceLab's 15-year anniversary public lecture: www.umu.se/en/icelab/ne...

Explore data on the growth cycle of Populus! Great data resource by a group from @umeaplantsciencecentre.se 👏

🧪🌾PAPER - Are you studying seasonality in trees?🧬 The Ove Nilsson group mapped the full transcriptional cycle of poplar trees across seasons comparing outdoor vs indoor conditions and made all data available via the POPUL-R app! Read more in @theplantcell.bsky.social: doi.org/10.1093/plce...

What if we were as open as kids when dreaming up scientific questions to dive into? What if we spent part of our research time reading random books and talking about them? Well, we do that in IceLab! We read Randall Munroe's excellent book What If? Our thoughts: www.linkedin.com/pulse/what-i...

🧪🌾NEWS - They were looking for unknown genes and found OPENER, a gene without which seeds stop growing at a very early stage after fertilisation.🔬 Now they showed that it is part of a protein complex involved in establishing protein production in plants. Read more here: www.upsc.se/about-upsc/n...
