New pre-print from the team!

The manuscript is @emma-raven.bsky.social's PhD work showing that whether a leaf is a carbon sink or a carbon source influences how they execute immune responses.

Have a read!

If anyone is looking to do a postdoc on plant-insect interactions in the Sonoran Desert, I would love to sponsor one of these fellowship applications: www.simonsfoundation.org/grant/simons...

I have a bunch of project ideas ready-to-go, but I'm also happy to support independent projects as well!
