Science fiction becomes reality as @UWMadison scientists have learned how to make real-time videos — from around corners. Using tech similar to what's in the latest iPhones, the technique could be used for search-and-rescue or medical imaging someday soon.

New research opens up the technology to affordable, real-world applications in such areas as disaster relief, medical imaging and military uses.

Job opportunity in #scicomm: Managing public-facing news about research in soil science and agronomy. If you take the job, you'll have me as a freelancer. I've worked with them for a couple years now and they're great partners. I can answer questions.

When you learn about yada-yada-plants can signal danger long distances quickly in grad school, and you're like, okay, sure, and then you actually see it happening and get to share the amazing proof with others.
When attacked, leaves rush to warn other parts of the plant: Prepare for future threats. That's what @UWMadison botanist Simon Gilroy shows in these videos, where a blaze of light washes over the plant in seconds. Published today in @sciencemagazine
