Farewell @adrigov.bsky.social! From joining our crew @cbgpmadrid.bsky.social as an undergraduate student until smashing it as a PhD and Postdoc in the #PollmannLab, it has been truly rewarding to see you grow into an amazing scientist. We'll miss you so much!!!! All the best at Uni. Nottingham 🫂

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 🇨🇱👍🏼

Congratulations to new 'Dr.' Francis C. Onjeme. A great day, not only for him but for the entire lab!!! Now you can finally become the Minister of Science in Nigeria 😉 On behalf of the complete #pollmannlab @cbgpmadrid.bsky.social, we wish you all the best for your future!!!

Back from #pbe2025. I really enjoyed myself. I had great discussions and learned a ton. Congratulations to the local organizers for their tremendous work.

Life is a Team game. Thus, I am very happy that I was able to give a great shout-out to my extraordinary team, after I presented our work at the #PBE2025 meeting in Budapest, Hungary.

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...

Happy to see this work on the role of root colonising fungi on strawberry VOC by my friends from Chile published. Glad that I was able to help the Chilean crew out.

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.
#pollmannlab @cbgpmadrid.bsky.social

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.
