I had an absolute blast at the #rhizosphere6 conference in Edinburgh! It was so lovely catching up with some many existing and new colleagues! Very first conference with my lab! @sotonbiosciences.bsky.social @unisouthampton.bsky.social

First ever conference for my PhD student, Sarah Connery! Representing @unisouthampton.bsky.social @sotonbiosciences.bsky.social at #rhizosphere6 - playing around with synthetic communities

Davide Bulgarelli opened Day 2 of #Rhizosphere6 with a great plenary talk, highlighting how domestication and plant breeding shape the rhizosphere microbiota — and how these insights translate from lab to field. 🌱

Congrats, Tim!!

@sotonbiosciences.bsky.social MRes Evolution are looking at the @cpdinosaurs.bsky.social to understanding how our view of prehistoric life has changed... WaterhouseHawkins' models were amazing introductions of dinosaurs to the world of the 1850s. @uosmedia.bsky.social @drmicrowill.bsky.social

📢 The new deadline to submit your abstract for #Rhizosphere6 is March 28 (new extension). Join us in Edinburgh to share your root and rhizosphere research! 🤩

Like morphometrics, micro-CT scanning, and morphological evolution? Then please consider applying for our 18 month postdoc position at the university of Southampton! Details here: www.jobs.ac.uk/job/DMF402/r...

#Exudates decrease strongly during #plantdevelopment and #metabolome shifts from diverse, sugar-dominated to secondary exudates. Fast-growth genotypes exude root establishing, slow-growth more defensive compounds. See our paper with @drmicrowill.bsky.social and the Bauerle lab.

Early developmental shifts in root exudation profiles of five Zea mays L. genotypes Root exudates impact soil-plant-microbe interactions and play important roles in ecosystem functioning and plant growth. During early plant developmen…

Interested in root exudates at early plant life stages? Have a look at our recent paper: doi.org/10.1016/j.plan… #Exudates decrease strongly during #plantdevelopment and #metabolome shifts from sugar-dominated to secondary exudates. Work led by Ben Hafner at TUM and Taryn Bauerle’s Cornell lab

Sorry, I missed it. Just emailed you back :)

Hi, Michelle. Yes! It is open to overseas applicants but they are very very competitive (only a handful are assigned to international). If you’re interested, please me an email with your CV and a little bio about your background :)

Deadline is approaching (Jan 8) - reach out if you want to chat about this environmental microbiology PhD opportunity! @sotonbiosciences.bsky.social

Interested in root-microbe interactions? Want to uncover how plants influence microbes and vice versa? Thinking about doing a PhD? Come join my lab on a fully funded PhD project. Rolling deadline - will screen candidates every cpl weeks. Details here: t.co/40ixDwUauS

Deadline is fast approaching for a FUNDED PhD at @sotonbiosci @SoCoBioDtp

Please reach out for info + if interested in plant micro and working on basic + applied questions

Opportunities to collab/network in US, Canada, and Aus. Definitely will collab with UPortsmouth and Niab

The project is a collab with Dr. Menon @portsmouthuni and Dr. Stavridou @niabscience, where you will get a chance to interact and learn more about enzymes and plant phys + potentially field work

Are you interested in plant-microbe interactions? 🦠🌾 Learn to work with microbes, plants, and applied questions to improve Ag sustainability

Fully funded PhD project @SoCoBioDtp at @sotonbiosci. Deadline is 8th of Jan tinyurl.com/mppnk7uc

Please reposted #PhD #findaphd #newPI

Just a teaser, I will be recruiting a fully funded PhD student through @SoCoBioDtp (project 2437; dedicated post coming) to look at microbe-root interactions and another fully funded PhD to look at microbe colonisation dynamics on roots for improving Ag #newPI #scijob #findaphd x.com/drmicrowill/...
