It's unusually quiet at the institute this week: everybody seems to be in #Antwerp for the SEB conference! #Photosynthesis is well-represented with sessions by Dezra Strand (photo), Juanita Solin and Tom Theeuwen. #SEB2025 @sebiology.bsky.social

Such a hot day here in the Netherlands! ☀️
We all adapt quickly when the weather turns. When it starts to drizzle, we put on our rain gear; when the sun comes out, we put on our 😎. This is not surprising. But plants do this too! They adapt their photosynthesis, and they do this within seconds. >>
