The cover of @jxbotany.bsky.social is my painting of Tulip Poplar, a North-American native & global street tree that was the focus of our paper visualising freezing spread & freeze-thaw embolism in leaves! A lovely way to finish this multi-year mutli-country project 🔗below @brodersenlab.bsky.social

Interested in learning about the latest and greatest research in how plants respond to excess salt, too little or too much water? Come to the GRC in Salt and Water Stress in Switzerland. Lots of opportunities for all career levels. www.grc.org/salt-and-wat.... Please repost!

So fun to be featured on this week’s @naturepodcast.bsky.social talking about the tree microbiome and could not be more thrilled to be following a story on rubber ducks.

Congrats to @jgewirtzman.bsky.social on his new paper exploring the microbiome of trees now online in Nature (www.nature.com/articles/s41...). Amazing effort to pull all this data together that highlights the distinct microbial communities in the sapwood and heartwood of different species.

📢Interested in plant drought resistance and tree mortality?🌳🌿 👥Join us to explore key physiological mechanisms behind these processes! 👨‍🎓We’re seeking strong candidates to apply for a MSCA #Postdoc Fellowship in our team. 🗓️Deadline: 10 Sept 2025 → t.ly/LmD1P #PlantScience #Drought #TreeMortality

I have two open postdoc positions in my lab that include opportunities to collaborate with @alecaborsuk.bsky.social and researchers at the Salk Harnessing Plants Initiative. If you’re interesting root system architecture or photosynthesis modeling see below: campuspress.yale.edu/brodersenlab...

please share - 2 postdoc positions available - molecular physiology of stomata and plant water use of efficiency lab.igb.illinois.edu/leakey/post-... @ripeproject.bsky.social @aspbofficial.bsky.social

We have a postdoc position that just opened up in the Brady lab on reprogramming tomato root system architecture in response to changes in nutrient availability - please consider applying! recruit.ucdavis.edu/JPF07095

Our new paper describing a novel method for measuring plant cell turgor is now online at PNAS: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... We demonstrate how nucleating microbubbles inside plant cells and studying their growth and dissolution dynamics allows us to estimate turgor pressure.
