New preprint from our group modeling maize-microbe nutrient symbiosis to quantify costs & benefits! www.ENSA.ac.uk

ENSA | Enabling Nutrient Symbioses in Agriculture

An international scientific research project aimed at using biological nitrogen fixation to sustainably increase yields for small-holder farmers in Africa.

🚨Preprint alert🚨We present models of real and hypothetical maize symbioses (with AMF and rhizobia, respectively) individually and in tandem to assess the costs-and-benefits of these to maize growth. Check it out here: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

I think some people hear “grants” and think that without them, scientists and government workers just have less stuff to play with at work. But grants fund salaries for students, academics, researchers, and people who work in all areas of public service. “Pausing” grants means people don’t eat.

White House pauses all federal grants, sparking confusion

The Trump administration has put a hold on all federal financial grants and loans, affecting tens of billions of dollars in payments.

I have a new postdoc position open to join my group and the broader #CABBI team to do some multiscale bioenergy crop development. See position description in link for more info and details on how to apply! matthews.cee.illinois.edu/positions/

Excited to attend #AGU24 next week in DC. I'll be chairing a session Tuesday on the Impacts of Long-Term Agroecosystem Management and Engineering. Come say hi!

An incredible article that touches on so many aspects of our work to improve photosynthesis to prepare food crops for the changing climate! bit.ly/4eBR5y8
