Sometimes the easter bunny brings choccy eggs, sometimes it brings new tools for science! Cool to have our new growth chamber arrive today @lancasterplantbio.bsky.social @sci-tech-lancaster.bsky.social Lots of plants ready to go in here as part of our plant engineering work!

You know the student is excited about the results when there is no time to transfer the gel image to a pc and send, and you just get a slack message of a cell phone photo of the gel imager including reflections of other students gathered round to see the result. 😀😆

Great to have @dmarquez.bsky.social visit today for a fascinating seminar on water use efficiency and non-stomatal control of transpiration. Lots of interesting discussions afterwards with Plant Bio people, thanks for visiting Diego! @sci-tech-lancaster.bsky.social
