The quality of the talks was outstanding, as were the poster presentations. Meeting fellow researchers has sparked some ideas for my research, with new directions to explore. Thanks to the scientific board, the organisers and fellow attendees! (4/4) #MycorrhizalResearch

One of the best parts was connecting with the molecular mycorrhizal community. The discussions between sessions were just as valuable as the presentations. It truly felt like a collaborative environment. (3/4)

I had the opportunity to present my work on the hyphal healing response in AM fungi; this was my first time presenting my work specifically to mycorrhizal researchers from other groups. I was delighted by the questions posed by other attendees and the discussion that followed. (2/4)

Reflecting on an amazing week at #iMMM2025 in Munich. This was my first iMMM conference. It was an incredibly enjoyable experience to attend with my research group, and as someone working in mycorrhizal research. 🧵 (1/4)

Cellular anatomy of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi Cargill et al. review the unique cellular arrangement in arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi that enables complex cytoplasmic flow and nutrient exchange processes across their open-pipe mycelial networks.

Excited to share that the first article of my PhD was published today in @currentbiology.bsky.social! We dive into the complex cellular biology of AM fungi and include microscopy from our lab.

A travelling-wave strategy for plant-fungal trade. An image of a microscopic view of fungi. Nature logo.

Our newest research on plant-fungal trade published today in @nature.com.

The work, led by scientists from Vrije Universiteit, Princeton University, SPUN & AMOLF combines robotics, mycology & biophysics to reveal underground supply-chain dynamics.
