In the lab, I like to look at equipment and play guessing "Who is younger - the lab equipment or me?" 😅 ... you win this round, freeze dryer😋

Me in the lab in a labcoat next to our freeze dryer. The glass beakers can be connected and the vacuum extends into the beakers with the sample in them. Black tubes connect the beakers with the vacuum chamber and white valves allow for individual connecting and disconnecting.

This week, I processed my plant samples further🌱. I cut the areas where I injected the sample in the tobacco plants, put the pieces in little aluminium foil bags, freeze dried them and scaled equal amounts of dry leaf pieces. Scaling milligrams of leaf pieces needs quite some patience😅 #wisskomm

A fine scale for scaling in milligram range. The scale is resting on a special heavy table that prevents vibrations of the table to influence the scaling. A red rack with sample tubes is standing next to the scale as well as a clean tissue paper with two metal tweezers on it.

In my research, I study how plants respond when they are damaged. Plants – like us – can perceive their surrounding and have an immune system. Around every cell, they have a cell wall, which provides stability and protects them. When the cell wall is damaged, plants activate their immune system...

When I talk to friends, family or others that don't work in research, I am often surprised and amused when I learn how they imagine me working in the lab 😅 So I thought I’d start sharing more from my everyday work doing plant science 👩‍⚕️🌱 @hydrosensing.bsky.social @hamannlab.bsky.social

This is me treating tobacco plants (Nicotiana benthamiana) to study their immune reaction when their cell wall is damaged. I am wearing a red lab coat and a hair net to prevent carrying seeds or pollen outside of our secure facility.

Glad to introduce our new logo 🎉 This new image reflects our mission: understanding how #plants perceive and respond to water stress — a step toward developing crops resilient to drought and #climatechange 🔗 hydrosensing.eu The image tells a story: 1/3 👇

Super excited to start my new position in the Hydrosensing ERC Synergy Project😊 It was amazing to get a preview in Regensburg and meet all you nice and inspiring people! Looking forward to two more years as part of this excellent, international team! @hydrosensing.bsky.social @hamannlab.bsky.social

In @uniofnottingham.bsky.social ERC Hydrosensing members spent a few intense (and wardrobe-consistent 😅) days filming about research on root systems and how plants adapt to drought. More footage for the documentary is being filmed at locations around the world in the coming year.
