💻 🌿 New multiscale model reveal how stomatal guard cell wall mechanics and architecture affect stomatal responses from Hojae Yi & Charles Anderson Penn State Biology buff.ly/40hB76H

Lovely news article highlighting our new collaborative project to study how grass stomata work, funded by U.S. National Science Foundation! science.psu.edu/news/145m-nsf-…

Yesterday we had the pleasure of hosting McGrawLab for a visit to the Anderson Lab - so much fun to talk about the dynamics of plant cell walls with the head of Penn State Biology! 🌱🔬🤓😃

Looking for a Christmas gift for the cell wall researcher in your life? What about 544 pages of history and state-of-the-art of a fascinating research discipline: 'Plant Cell Walls - Research Milestones and Conceptual Insights' Discount code here: plantbiomechanics.net/recent-annotat…

Yifei Huang was my nextdoor neighbor and a delightful colleague. If you have the means and inclination, please consider supporting his daughter's education. Thanks.

Are you a PhD interested in applying computer vision and ML to biology? Apply by Feb 29 for a funded postdoc position in our collaborative NSF project studying the development and dynamics of stomata! psu.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/PSU_Acad…

Excited to learn and share knowledge at the 2024 Gordon Research Conference on Multiscale Plant Vascular Biology!

Stomata are both fascinating AND photogenic! Kudos to Leila Jaafar and Yintong Chen, plus our collaborators, for the cover article! Cover art by Leila Jaafar: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/toc/1365313x/2…

My amazing department is hiring in the area of evolutionary genomics (writ broadly) - feel free to message me if you're interested!

An excellent opportunity for early career researchers to showcase their mechanobiology discoveries!

The Penn State Biology department is also hiring at the Assistant or Associate level in ecology - feel free to message me if you're interested in joining our supportive community of biologists! psu.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/PSU_Academic/j…

Come be my science neighbor in the @LaskyJR lab!
