Peter Hyldgård teaching us how to communicate science at the Department of Plant & Environmental Sciences PhD Conference. Lots of great points. 🤓

This week, my supervisor is running the @KU_forskeren twitter, sharing cool research from our group. Tune in to hear more about cereal grasses, GSTs, analytical chemistry and plant diseases. 🌱

Today, I got to work with Fusarium for the first time! I am trying to infect oat seeds with Fusarium spores. In a few weeks, there will hopefully be some sick plants, which can then be harvested and analyzed further! 🔬🧪🤓

My oat seedlings inoculated with Fusarium are starting to show symptoms. Yay! 👏

Another day of torturing poor oats in the name of science. Control vs fusarium-inoculated spike - can you spot the difference? 😷#fusarium #oat

Sorghum grown in our greenhouse in Copenhagen. I knew sorghum had long roots, but I’ve never actually seen it - wild (and heavy to lift, I might add)! 🌱

Harvesting Fusarium spores today. I am having a bit of trouble with my pellet being very loose after spinning down my liquid culture, and I fear that I am loosing quite a few spores, when I discard the supernatant. Has anyone experienced this? #fusarium #microbiology

Extracting metabolites from Fusarium-inoculated oat for LC-MS analysis. Love the color scheme. 🌱✳️🟢 #fusarium #oat #lcms

Control plants (left) and Fusarium-inoculated (right). I’ve been testing a more susceptible cultivar. I might have to adjust the concentration of spores next time - I would like to have some actual live plants to analyse 😬 #fusarium #oat

I am working on my first-ever poster for the upcoming European Fusarium seminar next week. Challenging, time-consuming, but fortunately also a lot of fun. Hope it comes together nicely!

I am very proud to share that my first paper with me as first author has been accepted by AoB PLANTS and is online (preliminary version). academic.oup.com/aobpla/advance… Nanna Bjarnholt Asta Rønager Ana I. Caño-Delgado

Arrived in Rome. Looking forward to a lot of science the next four days at #efs16, but hopefully also a bit of gelato 😋

Time to head home after four days of Fusarium-related science in fantastic Rome. I learned some very interesting things, presented my first poster AND gave my first flashtalk in front of a larger audience. And what do you know - plant GSTs were even mentioned in a talk 👀 #efs16

Last Friday, just another run in the park with 25,000 other people, 3,150 of them from University of Copenhagen, 45 from the Section for Plant Biochemistry Department of Plant & Environmental Sciences 😍☀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

Job opportunity in exploration of the chemistry of the #oat-#Fusarium interaction 🌾🍄 I am hiring a postdoc to work with me & Asta Rønager on plant metabolomics and maybe even some #plantMSI with Nikola Micic. Please apply! tiny.cc/rrthvzJob Department of Plant & Environmental Sciences

I am still looking for at postdoc to explore the chemistry of the #oat-#fusarium interaction, but apparently the link was broken. Here is a new one: candidate.hr-manager.net/ApplicationIni…

Come work with us! I am looking for a postdoc with plant #metabolomics skills, to investigate the chemistry of the oat-Fusarium interaction 🍄🌾🧪🧑‍🔬 Deadline extended to January 28! Please apply or share with potential candidates. candidate.hr-manager.net/ApplicationIni…

Join the Plant Cell Atlas Symposium in Aug for 3 days of all things plant spatial 'omics, advanced imaging, data integration, systems biology & more 🌱🌾🌎 (And sorry I am late, abstract deadline for oral presentations is March 8... But come anyway!) plantcellatlas.org/2024-pca-sympo…

Bit belated, but yay our review on plant GSTs w a twist is out 🥳 💚'd writing it, hope you will enjoy reading: Overlooked and misunderstood: can glutathione conjugates be clues to understanding plant glutathione transferases? royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs… Asta Rønager Nikola Micic
