The Lundgren Lab has had a great #IBC2024 this week in very sunny Madrid! So proud of Catherine Walsh and Hattie Roberts on their excellent talks! Lancaster Environment Centre Lancaster Photosynthesis Group

In this First Person article we spoke to Eimear Byrne about her passion for anatomy, using micro-CT on delicate specimens, and her advice for early-career researchers. #ECR #OpenAcess journals.biologists.com/bio/article/13…

🌿🌾Inspiring talks on the second session of the Carbon concentrating mechanisms symposium, sponsored by Annals of Botany Congratulations to all the speakers! Hattie Roberts #ibc2024

Talks covered diverse topics:C2 photosynthesis in various plants, methods for studying soil organic carbon in Andean ecosystems, pyrenoid formation and carbon concentration in hornworts, and the impact of tree demography on species composition and carbon stock in European forests
