How can we #transfer our knowledge on #chemodiversity to agriculture? That was the theme at our @chemodiversity.bsky.social workshop last week at @igzleibniz.bsky.social It was a marvellous workshop with excellent talks from invited speakers and our #young #investigators alike!👍💪

I have co-supervised several #PhD students who studied the devastating effects of bark beetles and drought on #spruce #trees in German #forests. Nevertheless, I was shocked to see the effects when hiking in #SächsischeSchweiz near the Czech border... a sad view

Our @chemodiversity.bsky.social RU has begun harvesting its 'core experiment' for the second model system; bittersweet nightshade. Lots of measuring, scanning, chemical sampling and root washing and we're now halfway done! Thanks to a great team, and the facilities of @jpschnitzlerlab.bsky.social
