PEPG Techniques Workshop 2025 going down a treat 🌿 Photos from yesterday's workshop on water relations and today's on chlorophyll fluorescence, as well as pastel de nata and Quinta horses @sebiology.bsky.social

More pictures from theDay 2 for the PEPG 2025 workshop Many thanks to Mengjie Fan for an impressive video

From science to socials 🍷 Day 1 of #PEPGWorkshop combined engaging talks, practical sessions, a wine trail & dinner — a great start to the week!

Day 1 of the #PEPGWorkshop kicked off with inspiring talks on leaf gas exchange, fluorescence, water relations, roots & soil, and ecosystems 🌱✨ Afternoon = hands-on + networking!

Christmas came early to the Pallavi Singh Lab this year! Thrilled to welcome another brand-new Gen 2000 Conviron, a fantastic boost to our plant growth facilities in the Plant Productivity Group at Essex

Fab highlight of our unique site from @carlbernacchi.bsky.social The Quinta housed pioneering ecophys work from Otto Lange who characterized (among many things) midday depression. Read more about his work and inspiring life here: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otto_Lu... #PEPG2025 @sebiology.bsky.social

What an inspiring and energizing kick off to the week at #PEPG2025. We spent the morning getting up to speed on our themes, and the afternoon in hands on practical activities thanks to our manufacturing partners! @sebiology.bsky.social

Excited to be at this year's PEPG Field Techniques Workshop in beautiful Portugal! Highlight of day one was putting names to faces in person and making new connections 😁 @sebiology.bsky.social @cavycavs.bsky.social @lornamca.bsky.social @erikmurch.bsky.social @moore-science.bsky.social

Spending the day getting reacquainted with our home for the next week. Tomorrow things kick off for #PEPG2025

Empathy and kindness are becoming rather rare traits these days. There is nothing more important than treating each other like the finite mortal short-lived nociceptive beings we are. A life lived in apathy feels so much shorter and far too cold. Try to love more while you live.

A huge round of applause for our conference prize winners! Congratulations to Jessica Moon, James Vanstone, Anoop Tripathi, Rhiannon Durant, Daisy Bown and Ryo Tachibana! Your outstanding research was a highlight of the conference #PlastidPreview2025

It's been a great day at #PlastidPreciew2025 at the @universityofessex.bsky.social I've learnt about chloroplast development, retrograde signalling and even macroalgae! @ciara-obrien.bsky.social, Thomas and Carol (my Seung group lab mates) gave fab talks and I'm looking forward to my go tomorrow...

Massive thanks to our #PlastidPreview2025 sponsors! Gatsby Charitable Foundation, New Phytologist Foundation, New Phytologist, @plantspeopleplanet.bsky.social, @sebiology.bsky.social, @jxbotany.bsky.social, Plant Biotechnology Journal, @universityofessex.bsky.social & @rainca.bsky.social‬

I am so happy about this you would think I won the award myself. What a well deserved honour for pioneers of the field.

🌟We’re hiring: Science Communication Lead🌟 At Jan IngenHousz Institute (JII) in Wageningen, NL, we’re building a young research institute focused on improving #photosynthesis to secure future food production. Now we need your comms expertise to help us grow. Keep reading👇 #Hiring #OpenScience

Since I’ve moved to England in 2020 we’ve lived through three of the hottest years on record. Unsurprisingly, this is impacting crop yields. Read more about the impact, and the work we do to mitigate this in this weekend’s times: www.thetimes.com/uk/science/a...

🌱 Kickstart your plant science career! We’re offering 2 paid Research Trainee roles (Oct ‘25–Mar ‘26) at Jan IngenHousz Institute — 6 months to explore photosynthesis, gain hands-on skills, and prepare your own PhD proposal. Read on for more info👇

This is a fab program, and a great way to connect with other plant scientists! Consider joining the Plantae fellow team!

This is a great program. We started in in 2016 and it just gets better and better! Check out some past fellows who are on Bluesky: @philcarella.bsky.social @mattbnt.bsky.social @psaima.bsky.social @fromani.bsky.social @sjb287.bsky.social @aribidopsis.bsky.social @cavycavs.bsky.social
