It is a pleasure to join the UPSC community and begin this new chapter. I’m excited for the years ahead and grateful for the opportunity to work alongside such inspiring colleagues. Many thanks to Anne Honsel for this beautifully written research portrait.
Umeå Plant Science Centre@umeaplantsciencecentre.se · last mo.🧪🌾Researcher portrait: Meet @jalonsos.bsky.social 🌍 How do changes in water become signals that guide plant growth? In our new portrait, Juan talks about water movement, meristems, tree “heartbeats”, and why plants can be seen as teachers. Read the portrait here: www.upsc.se/about-upsc/n...
Just arrived to Heidelberg for the symposium on "Mechanobiology accross the tree of life" #EESMechanobiology I have polished a bit my story on wood cell fate and biomechanics, my first time with a black background poster. Very excited to share and learn!!
We're excited to have our first webinar in our new webinar series on quantitative plant imaging happening this Thursday! For more info and to register for the webinar: focalplane.biologists.com/2026/03/30/n...

FocalPlane @focalplane.bsky.social · 4mo ago📢 Two weeks to go until the first webinar in our new series on quantitative plant imaging across scales. We’ll hear from @blace.bsky.social and Simon Gilroy in this webinar chaired by @ajcellbio.bsky.social and @joemckenna.bsky.social.
In our #featuredimage post, we are branching out into AFM with an image showing surface stiffness of an Arabidopsis thaliana hypocotyl from Emily Oren @slcuplants.bsky.social. Check out our post to discover more about the image and Emily's research: focalplane.biologists.com/2026/04/10/f...
On #FluorescenceFriday we are featuring this beautiful FLIM image of compressed wood tissue from Ioannis Theodorou @ioathepatterns.bsky.social. For more information about the image and Ioannis’s research check out our post: focalplane.biologists.com/2026/02/27/f...

A big thanks to Alex, Joe, Marketa, Mark and @biologists.bsky.social for bringing together plant imaging enthusiasts across scales and career stages - all in a classic English countryside setting!🔬🌱 @ajcellbio.bsky.social @joemckenna.bsky.social @focalplane.bsky.social
On the second day lots of nice discussions and presentations and a hiking tour around buxted.
2nd day: "Macro to Micro: Quantitative Plant Imaging Across Scales" #BiologistsWorkshops. Yesterday, was nice half day mostly getting to know our fellow microscopists. Beautiful stories from different carreer stages with super beautiful microscope images.
Traveling from North Sweden to London for the "Macro to Micro: Quantitative Plant Imaging Across Scales" #BiologistsWorkshops Excited to learn more about plants bioimaging and receive some feedback for my preliminary work with T89. #Development #xylem #aspen #1st_original_post
🧪🌾INTERVIEW: New tools to study how plant cells hold together🔬 Léa Bogdziewiez from the @stephanevrg.bsky.social group developed innovative tools to study cell adhesion at a whole new level. She just defended her PhD thesis – congrats, Léa! Learn more in this interview: www.upsc.se/about-upsc/n...

Working prototype of a heating/cooling modular algae photobioreactor with built in bubbler, multispectral sensor, and grow light. No custom PCB's. All off the shelf parts. Simple arduino code. Open source. This one's for @kylelauersen.bsky.social. I love making lab hardware. #scisky
Welcome to the #devbiolwriteclub Bluesky Boot Camp! I’ll be posting here regularly with thoughts and exercises to help scientists become better writers. Let’s start by managing expectations: I will NOT help you write better. I WILL help you become a better writer. 🧵 1/10
