Are current AI models good enough to generate a STL file (for 3D printing) from pictures of an object taken at various angles, perhaps with a ruler in them for scale? #3DPrinting #ArtificialIntelligence

Please join us for a tribute symposium on May 17 to Philip Benfey, a luminary in plant biology. Details and Zoom link here: as.nyu.edu/departments/bi…

The #MACReview highlights the invaluable contributions of international students to the UK. It's vital for the Government to swiftly confirm the Graduate Visa route remains unchanged to prevent further disruptions. Read our full press release here: ncub.co.uk/insight/gradua…

I graduated my PhD! Thank you the my supervisors Giovanni Sena and Tolga Bozkurt and to Imperial College London and Imperial Science for making this possible! #PhD #womeninSTEM #plantpathology #SciArtist

Definitely a stimulating and provocative argument for modern developmental biology. Highly recommend. B0C1NKQ954 on Amazon

This seminar is happening tomorrow! Come listen to Barbara Mazzolai and her bio-inspired soft robots and sustainable techs! 📣 Open to the public, in person only 🙌 4pm, RSM228, South Ken, IC London Imperial Bioengineering Everyone welcome! 👋

Can’t wait to present our work on #bioelectricity and plant #regeneration at the Sainsbury Laboratory Symposium in September! Please get in touch if you plan to attend and want to know more about this topic.

Is your X-feed as boring as mine? I try to stick to an academic ecosystem, but all I hear is how people are “thrilled”, “excited”, “proud” about their latest publication, successful grant or invited talk. Is that all there is out there? Am I missing the point? Disappointed.

On May 17th, 2024 the New York University Annual Genome Symposium, hosted by the Center for Genomics and Systems Biology, honored the scientific achievements, life & career of dear friend, visionary, entrepreneur & mentor Dr. Philip Benfey. Recording Link:  as.nyu.edu/departments/bi…

Can you use electric fields to protect plants from pathogens? Congratulations to our former PhD student Dr Eleonora Moratto, former MRes student Zhengxi Tang and collaborator Tolga Bozkurt for a great paper on hijacking oomycete electrotaxis #biolelectricity rdcu.be/dSfQc

Great to have my third first author paper out! Go have a read if you are interested in new crop protection strategies against oomycete pathogens

Looking forward to attending the European Low Gravity Research Association #ELGRA28 symposium! On Thursday I will be giving a short talk on root electrotropism and its possible applications in microgravity conditions. Contact me if you go and want to chat about roots in space!

Want to learn how root electrotropism could be used to grow crops in space? If you are at #ELGRA_space come to see my talk at 2:55pm at the #ISLSWG workshop. Great conference so far, looking forward for more exciting ideas today!

What a great conference #ELGRA2024 and #ISLSWG So many inspiring talks about plants in space (weightless, high radiation, etc). This knowledge is crucial to understand how to grow crops in orbit & Moon/Mars surfaces, but also for fundamental plant science. Thanks ELGRA

What can we learn by quantifying the dynamics of intermittent cell divisions in a regenerating tissue? Check out our latest paper (by @ToddFallesen et al.) on root tip #regeneration using light-sheet #Microscopy doi.org/10.1017/qpb.20…

Thank you to everyone who attended, supported and helped organise & make #SLS24 happen! The next Sainsbury Laboratory Symposium will be held in 2026! Please share suggestions for themes/topics for #SLS26 by replying here or via email to [email protected] See you in 2026 👋

Great symposium on plant development at #SLS24 ! Highly recommended to join the next one in 2026! #bioelectricity #regeneration

Brilliant article by Sally Adee (author of the popular book "We Are Electric") on IEEE Spectrum, describing our recent work (by former PhD student Dr Eleonora Moratto) on hijacking oomycete electrotaxis to protect plant roots. #bioelectricity #oomycetes spectrum.ieee.org/electric-field
