A great piece on @BBC_Future on the new research on plant #Bioelectricity and its applications, with reference to the work by Maddalena Salvalaio and @EleonoraMoratto in our group. Many thanks to @Sally_Adee, also the author of the book "We Are Electric".

Electrical horticulture is on the horizon, as farmers search for ways to boost productivity without harming the environment. Could we all be enjoying electrified vegetables soon?

Brilliant article by @Sally_Adee (author of the popular book "We Are Electric") on @IEEESpectrum, describing our recent work (by former PhD student @EleonoraMoratto) on hijacking oomycete electrotaxis to protect plant roots. #bioelectricity #oomycetes.

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 .

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_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!.

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!.

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.

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.
