We are recruiting for a postdoc position (now / soon!), located in Flagstaff, AZ at NAU. We are particularly interested in a flux person. Please come join a fun multi-institutional team where we make very funny, definitely cool jokes about p-values.

Heads up leaf-level gas exchangers, the Hitchhiker's Guide PDF on LI-COR web is now adhering to slightly more modern standards with navigable contents and searchable text. Paper copies have started to make their way into the world, as well. Stay cool out there. #plants www.licor.com/resources/bo...

Speeding up NPQ is one way to improve photosynthetic efficiency, but how much it matters depends on the photosynthetic pathway in question!

New lab paper, led by @ellliieee.bsky.social with assist from @wickellomics.bsky.social, other lab members, and folks at @li-corenv.bsky.social - how do we study photosynthesis in aquatic plants? Turns out it's pretty hard! Part review, part methods paper. Check it out! doi.org/10.1002/aps3...

If you're into genomes and crop physiology, we've a new paper out! High-throughput screen of photoprotective kinetics in sorghum, and candidate genes underlying NPQ traits: doi.org/10.1002/pei3.70114 Big thanks to a great group of coauthors who helped make it possible. #PlantScience #PlantBiology

Definitely a recommended read for any exchanger of gases working with stressed and low-flux material. This summarizes many important considerations and measurement assumptions underlying the models of stomatal conductance and other derived parameters which are implemented in gas exchange systems.

Excited to share our paper with Anna Gardner and @florianabusch.bsky.social in Plant Ecophysiology!🌿 We review challenges in interpreting plant stress responses using gas exchange data, offer solutions to improve accuracy and discuss gaps in our current knowledge. www.sciltp.com/journals/Pla...

$Detailed representation of H2O gas exchange (left) and CO2 gas exchange (right) at the adaxial (upper) and abaxial (lower) leaf surfaces in an amphistomatous leaf. This panel illustrates the separate gas exchange processes for each leaf surface, which can be measured individually if the upper and lower cuvettes are analysed separately—though this setup is not common in commercial gas exchange systems. Stomatal, cuticle, and boundary layer resistances are depicted for both surfaces, along with the mole fractions of water vapour and CO2.$
