I just published: Stop displaying journal names on your slides A mentoring event at a Congress called for better support of early-career scientists - but what followed sent mixed signals. This blog reflects on those moments and ends with a pledge. medium.com/p/stop-display…

Climate warming raises the risk of harmful leaf temps, especially in tropical trees adapted to stable heat. Our study in Rwanda shows these species have limited ability to acclimate, risking photosynthetic damage as temps rise. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.11… Wiley Plant Science #OpenAccess
