if you're looking for a PhD and are interested in #roots, #belowground dynamics, and links between plant physiology, soils and biogeochemistry, or using AI to help sample all the above, get in touch. I am definately recruiting at least one funded student this year, maybe more...

🚨New paper alert!🚨 Our work demonstrating the suitability of RootPainter, an interactive machine learning tool, to marine image analysis is now out in The Royal Society Open Science (1/3): royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…

Be sure to check out the paper and our handy handbook (zenodo.org/records/100132…) to see just how accessible RootPainter is, even for users without machine learning experience Huge thanks to my collaborators Abraham George Smith Daniel McKay Fletcher Ann Larsson Marine Biodiscovery Centre, UoA and Laurence De Clippele !
