I am most excited seeing them setting up their own labs and thriving in science 🧪

Thanks #MICIU for considering my application for the mobility fellowship for next year! Sometimes it is worth checking emails, even on the first day of holidays. Chile, I am on my way 🇨🇱👍🏼

Super proud of our team! One of our last papers on the role of auxin distribution in plant-fungus interactions is featured on the webpage of PCE among the most read articles in the last 2 yrs: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/1365...

Did you ever ask yourself whether different root-colonizing fungal endophytes form similar arid environments trigger common responses in their host plants to confer increased drought tolerance? Checkout our latest paper:

Twenty-two years since I defended my own thesis and currently promoting two of my PhD students to successfully defend theirs. Plant physiology still rocks after all of this time, although my hair is turning grey. #pollmannlab @cbgpmadrid.bsky.social

Dear Community, we need to karyotype the chromosomes of a fungus but we have no access to CHEF electrophoresis equipment. Is anyone, preferentially in Spain/Europe, interested in a collaboration? Please, drop me a line.

Starting at bsky with a farewell. We're wishing all the best and tons of success to our postdocs Eoghan King and Manish Patel, who will start new positions in Paris and Singapur, respectively. It was a pleasure to have you in our #pollmannlab at the CBGP.
