PostDoc position assessing the influence of urbanization on the fungal microbiome ub3guard.eu/news/postdoc-p…

Wonderful to welcome Blessing Durodola as PostDoc to my group! We are grateful to the Margarete-von-Wrangell-Juniorprofessorinnen Programm for this amazing opportunity. #WomenInSTEM #postdoc

Zwei Freiburger Forscherinnen für „Margarete von Wrangell-Programm“ des Wissenschaft.Kunst.BW ausgewählt: Dr. Marlene Walk @marlene_walk und Dr. Kathrin Blumenstein Kathrin Blumenstein 🌳🌲🍄 werden beim Übergang von der Post-Doc-Phase zur Lebenszeitprofessur unterstützt. ufr.link/wrangell-2024

Emerging and opportunistic pathogens threaten our urban trees with increasing impact. Universität Freiburg we started invastigating how the fungi cause cankers as a community in an inoculation experiment. #treehealth #urbantrees #fungi #pathology #GroupWork #WomenInScience

Our research group, Pathology of Trees, has a logo now! #PathologyOfTrees #TreeHealth #NewLogo 🍃🔍🌿

As one of the representatives of the Forestry Institute Universität Freiburg that hosted delegates of #ForstBW today, I introduced the research and teaching of my group, Pathology of Trees TreePathoMycoLab Freiburg 🧬🌲🌳🍄🪵🦠🧫🔬. #Forestry #Mycology #Pathology #InvasiveSpecies

Happy Easter! While the kids hunted the eggs, I found some morels in our garden 😉

90 Milliarden #Bäume wachsen in Deutschlands Wäldern, die meisten davon sind nicht gesund. Die Freiburger Wissenschaftlerin Kathrin Blumenstein Kathrin Blumenstein 🌳🌲🍄 will ihnen helfen. Ihr Fokus: #Pilze. schwarzwaelder-bote.de/inhalt.natur-o…

"Opportunistic fungi posing a threat to tree health due to climate change" - I got into several big German newspapers today, introducing the importance of tree pathology see e.g. here: zeit.de/news/2024-04/2… or here: faz.net/agenturmeldung… #womeninSTEM #forestpathology

We are delighted to be welcoming you in our group, the Chair of Pathology of Trees Universität Freiburg very soon! Your expertise on #treehealth, #forestpathology and #mycology to further explore the #Diplodia Tip Blight pathogen and #endophyte antagonists will be a great asset!

Here is our new review "Seeing the trees without the forest" from Sousa-Silva et al. 2024 with colleagues from Universität Freiburg others @UB3Guard

On excursion with our MSc students of the Forest Pathology module Universität Freiburg: finding #invasive fungal #pathogens, fruiting bodies of brown and white rot fungi and a high diversity of disease symptoms on the trees 🧵1/4

Raising awareness on #genderequality and #diversity in the forest sector, Ida Wallin Ida Wallin from the #ForGEDI network awarded our researcher Yasin Korkmaz Yasin Korkmaz with a prize for winning their quizz 👏 forgedi.org #IUFRO2024

The #IUFRO2024 in Stockholm was amazing! Presenting our research, meeting new and old friends and colleagues, going on excursions, learning so much about forest challenges all over the world and getting INSPIRED for future reseach projects - an excellent experience! #networking

The fascinating research world of dendrovirology got a new doctor today 🥳 Kira Köpke from the Humboldt University Berlin successfully defended her thesis about urban tree viruses. It was my honour and a pleasure being your examiner, Kira! You did so well! @UB3Guard

⭐ I recently attended the DAAD India Scholarship Certificate Handover Ceremony, from Katja Lasch and Viktoria Apitzsch . Joining Universität Freiburg under Professor Kathrin Blumenstein 🌳🌲🍄 in the department of TreePathoMycoLab Freiburg 🧬🌲🌳🍄🪵🦠🧫🔬 from 1st October. ⭐ Looking forward for it 🔬.

Emerging fungal pathogens are increasingly affecting our #urbantrees. Today, we began an infection experiment to test their virulence. Our goal is to better understand the impact and dynamics between tree health and fungal pathogens. 🌿 #TreeResearch #EnvironmentalAwareness

The health condition of #HorseChestnut trees is threatened by #fungalpathogens, #bacteria and the leaf miner moth. What is the situation in Germany? And what can be done against it? Whatch the interview I gave in ARDalpha "Nachgehakt" (min 18 onwards): ardmediathek.de/video/alpha-na…
