I want to share a concern about the growing shift toward subscription-based business models for scientific research tools. I strongly believe that purchasing a scientific instrument should include open access to the data you measure with it. (1/4)

Can anyone help: I want to take photos of arabidopsis rosettes everyday as they grow to get growth curves for a lot of ecotypes. Does anyone know of software that can be used to read the label from inside the photo and rename the file with the plant ID and then amend the date to the file name too?

MSU’s new Plant and Environmental Sciences building is set to be finished in early March 2027. WDBM’s Liam Clymer spoke with students and faculty to understand the importance of the facility and its symbolic meaning to campus. Watch the video here: youtu.be/j2eHzegByJU?...

An excellent job opportunity in the Netherlands for a postdoc interested in biological kinetic spectrofluorimetry & spectrophotometry. You'll be helping development new spectroscopic techniques for measuring photosynthetic energy transduction. #plantsciencejobs #plantscience

A chlorophyll fluorescence-based biofeedback system was developed to adjust LED intensity based on real-time plant responses, rather than using a fixed photosynthetic photon flux density (PPFD). The system was tested in a growth chamber with lettuce and cucumber. Read more https://bit.ly/3G8kmoS

“I spend so much time on TikTok,” she said. “Hours and hours, until my eyes start hurting, which makes it hard to plan and do my schoolwork. With ChatGPT, I can write an essay in two hours that normally takes 12.” "No work, no play" sounds like an incredibly rewarding college experience.
