Biologist Pierre Joliot, photosynthesis pioneer and grandson of Pierre and Marie Curie, dies at 94 "Inspired by the work of American scientist Robert Emerson, Joliot used light flashes to study the oxygen production of algae and observed that it took 4 pulses to release the gas, leading him to decipher one of the fundamental mechanisms of photosynthesis: 4 electrons must be stripped from a water molecule for 1 molecule of oxygen to be produced." https://archive.is/i0HzB #PlantScience #Science

Q: There are a number of sites that purport to list upcoming scientific conferences, but I assume most are in it for profit of one sort or another and are of varying mid - low quality. Can any scientists (esp in #Botany, #Ecology, #PlantScience, #Biology) recommend a site they use to keep abreast of upcoming conferences, seminars, and workshops they might otherwise miss notice of? #AskFed #Science #AcademicChatter

Hi everyone! 👋 I'm an Assistant Professor at the University of Verona (Italy), working on plant nutrition, plant physiology and plant-soil interactions. 🌱 Right now I'm digging into non-destructive root phenotyping for hydroponically grown plants — would love to meet people working on root imaging, rhizotrons, image analysis (Fiji, SmartRoot...). Also Section Editor for *Plant and Soil*, in case that's useful to know 😄 Glad to be here, looking forward to chatting! 👋 #PlantScience #PlantBiology #RootPhenotyping #Hydroponics #AcademicChatter #introduction

🌸 Do you enjoy cherry blossoms? We are looking for a future group member to explore the genetic mechanisms behind coloration in cherry flowers and fruits. The project focuses on tissue-specific gene expression and its role in ornamental plants and crops. 🔗 Details: https://www.izmb.uni-bonn.de/en/pbb/teaching#cherry #PlantScience #Genetics #Botany #AcademicJobs #Research @PuckerLab@genomic.social@samnm@mstdn.science
