Hi all, I am trying to raise funds to support the field-based courses I teach so we can keep the cost of these trips as low as possible for the students. If you would like to support the next generation of field scientists consider donating to the NSU Foundation. It is tax deductible.

Call for plant ecophysiologists! Do you have Fv/Fm or F0-rise data? Do you know someone who might? @seanmichaletz.bsky.social and @nicolebison.bsky.social would love to hear from you. (Bonus if your data are from Asia or Africa.) Please share widely! #ecology #botany #ClimateChange #HeatTolerance
Photo of a slide that reads
Help us identify drivers of global variation in PSII heat tolerance kinetics. Seeking collaborators and data in Fv/Fm temperature response curves at multiple heat duration and F0-rise curves. Email Nicole dot Bison at ubc dot ca or Sean dot Michaletz at ubc dot ca. Map of sites contributed shows points in North and South America, Europe, and Australia but not Asia or Africa (or Antartica, on the very slim chance someone has data from there).
