It’s the last day of exhibits at #ESA2026. If you haven’t added your suggestions for what we should make/do next, come by and let your voice be heard. Note: the many requests to bring back the T-shirts HAVE been heard!

This week we're in Philadelphia for PhysFestFive - a workshop and celebration of all things ecophysiology. We're always happy to get together with the #PhysFam and to welcome new members.

We wrote a book! Hard copies exist! Your favorite LI-COR scientist may have one or two at conferences this summer. Just sayin

What a terrible place to spend some time. 🙂. Thanks to our host Dr John Harel.

Obviously RuBisCO. See this illustration from A Hitchhiker's Guide To Leaf Level Gas Exchange:

So, what chamber should we use to measure this plant? 🤔

Got enough methane for the ground to be *on fire*? We can measure that! (The methane, not the fire. Please don't expose our instruments to open flame). Photo courtesy of Dr. Ian Smillie, who was visiting researchers in Grenoble last week.

There's no conductance from this sunflower leaf. Maybe we should call tech support?

Get you a support team that will put on a life jacket and paddle a canoe if that's what's needed to explain the details of leaf area index measurements. Photo credit to Erik Johnson in our sales team.

Have you listened to our Leaf to Leaf Podcast? Episode 4 was released yesterday and should be en-light-ening if you've ever wondered about how and why to set your instrument light levels. www.licor.com/podcast/leaf...

We recently received this photo of two photosynthesis instrument "cousins" doing their work at Rocky Mountain Biological Lab. The photo is courtesy Carrie Wu (@carriewu.bsky.social) and posted with permission.

In the foreground is an LI-6800 sensor head. In the background is an LI-6400 console and its sensor head. There are also two legs and a few flowers in the fore and midground.

It’s the last day of exhibits at #ESA2025 and we still have T-shirts, pens, stickers, squishy sunflowers, and one misplaced Nalgene bottle. Please help us give them away.

Did you leave your red Nalgene bottle at the LI-COR booth yesterday? It is lonely and would like to be reunited with you. #ESA2025

We are posting this picture again in memory of Miss Josie, who had to cross the Rainbow Bridge this week. She officially belonged to one of our employees but served as the unofficial therapy dog and LI-COR mascot for several departments.

An older golden retriever is laying on the floor facing the camera. Near her left front paw is a small LI-COR squishy globe.

We know our instruments will be used in harsh conditions and sometimes we talk about asking our engineers to do the "drop it down a mountain" test. Here's a picture of a very early attempt at a "drop it down a mountain" test. Yes, that is a car. Yes, that is an instrument. It survived.
