The surface of many plant leaves displays an intricate jigsaw puzzle-like cell pattern. Does this confer an evolutionary advantage? Amir J Bidhendi hypothesized that geometry protects against injury. How? We used engineering to find out! nature.com/articles/s4146… PlantBiomechanics

How should we model the dynamics of root growth as it turns towards gravity? As physicists, we tried using a damped harmonic oscillator. And it works! In small angles. Check out our new JXB @jxbotany.bsky.social paper, with Mathieu Rivière and @MerozLab: doi.org/10.1093/jxb/er…

Two funded postdoc positions and a PhD student available in my lab in Adelaide! Please spread the word and apply: mortimerlab.org/available-posi… #glycotime #plantsci #space #Artemis #bioenergy #pectin #cellwalls #duckweed

Please join us! One PhD student and one postdoc on the mathematical and computational modeling of plant mechanobiology as part of the @greente_science consortium. See mathbioleiden.nl/vacancies.html and green-te.nl for more information. Please RT - thanks :-)

UPDATED: we have identified 313 (!) funding opportunities and fellowships for postdoctoral fellows. Download this database freely here: research.jhu.edu/rdt/funding-op… For each entry, we provide description, amount, deadline, eligibility, and link to funder. Good luck!

If you are curious about turgor pressure but don’t know where to start, we are happy to present our humble take on the biomechanics of turgor pressure. authors.elsevier.com/a/1jzSR3QW8S6F…

We will be moving much of the #plantbiomechanics action to bluer skies. You will even find a starter pack for us there!
