We’ve all seen pictures of weird #genAI images, well #biochem images are equally confused. Copilot offered to draw isocitrate to ketoglutarate. It failed!

We're hiring! 3 year #postdoc position in microbial ecology of gut and soil at University of Sydney. Suits folk with expertise in experimental microbial ecology (e.g. microbiome manipulation, chemostat measurements, metabolomics, metagenomics) tinyurl.com/4yn4ed5u

We investigated heat tolerance mechanisms of sorghum genotypes differing in heat tolerance. Spoiler: there are multiple constitutive and inducible responses, thus multiple targets for breeding. t.co/YijVjjotu6

Out now. Orpheus Butler used root splitting to determine if #soil #microbial biomass is affected by #plant nutrient status. Spoiler: microbial P is lower when plants are P limited. rdcu.be/d8xjK
