On my way to the SEB Plant Environment Physiology Group Early Career Workshop . looking forward to this @sebiology.bsky.social @aabiologists.bsky.social @ecarmosilva.bsky.social @drrjwebster.bsky.social

The cyanobacterium Acaryochloris marina can photosynthesize using far-red light at the edge of the visible spectrum. A new #ScienceAdvances study uncovers the basis of this system, offering insight into how plant photosynthesis could use longer wavelengths of light. https://scim.ag/43udhqY

Far-red chlorophyll d clusters extend photosystem I absorption toward the red limit

The cyanobacterium A. marina shows how photosynthetically active radiation can be expanded into the far-red spectral region.

Few Plant science programmes are left in the UK and they are critical to train the next generation. This move by @uniofnottingham.bsky.social goes against recommendations made in the recent PS Education manifesto. Big mistake! Sign the petition! nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

A manifesto for plant science education

Plants provide oxygen, food, shelter, medicines and environmental services, without which human society could not exist. Tackling pressing and global challenges requires well-trained plant scientists...

“It was renewables that did it!” That was the headline after Spain’s blackout on April 28. But the official report published today points to other factors: chain reaction of overvoltages led to cascading generation disconnections. Human error played a big role too. media.licdn.com/dms/document...

One of the most important things we do is teaching: I just wrapped up the Environmental Plant Physiology module which I have enjoyed immensely this year, in part due to the interest shown by the students, so thank you !

First #fungifriday to get going, pics from the last few weeks

The Big Bon has been with us for almost a year now and it’s like she has always been here x
