Our next blog is out! Find out about the robotic arm the Halliday Lab Institute of Molecular Plant Sciences @SBSBiol built to help study how plants respond to light. #plantscience #robots Biological Sciences | University of Edinburgh Global Plant Council King's Buildings ed.ac.uk/biology/plant-…


On #InternationalWomensDay the Institute of Molecular Plant Sciences celebrates the amazing research and contributions made to science by women at all career stages!! Spoel Lab Orosa lab Halliday Lab Annis Richardson Molnar Lab McCormick Lab The Molecular Palaeobotany and Evolution Group


Happy #InternationalWomensDay to all our female scientists working King's Buildings #DanielRutherford you are such an inspiration and make Institute of Molecular Plant Sciences such a great place to work Biological Sciences | University of Edinburgh SRUC Dr Laura Röhrig Rosie Boyko @DrHelenJRees Prof Thorunn 🇮🇸 🌿


We had a brilliant afternoon visiting classes P1-P4 Prestonfield Nursery and Primary School! Bob Mason Zishan Fu (傅子珊 Sannie) and I Institute of Molecular Plant Sciences really enjoyed talking to the pupils about our work and they asked plenty of amazing questions! 🌿#IMPSOutreach


…and we celebrate the #plantscience powered by women in the Spoel Lab, Orosa lab and Gerben van Ooijen labs at Institute of Molecular Plant Sciences and Biological Sciences | University of Edinburgh !!!!


New episode OUT NOW! Hear from Dr Sophie Haupt at Institute of Molecular Plant Sciences about her work as the plant growth facility manager and a new #conservation project at King's Buildings to bring nature back to the campus. #plants #wildlife Biological Sciences | University of Edinburgh Listen here: buzzsprout.com/286788/12527097

I'm extremely happy to share that the work developed during my PhD has now been published at JXB @jxbotany.bsky.social! I am very grateful for the support and guidance received from my supervisors and for the help of our collaborators that has made this work possible!

It’s fascination of plants day today! Fascination of Plants Day #PlantDay #FoPD and we would love to hear what is your favourite or most fascinating plant!

Have you been enjoying #Earth on BBC? Tonight’s episode tells the story of the greening of the continents by plants and fungi. Keep an eye out at the end of the episode for our own Sandy Hetherington The Molecular Palaeobotany and Evolution Group and the images he took of the enigmatic fungus prototaxites!

Really excited to get my EastBio DTP PIPS started at deCODE genetics. 3 months of data analysis begins, ævintýri bíður!


Only a few days left to apply for our @BlackInPlantSci Research Excellence Awards which recognises Black and Black heritage ECR talent (incl. students & postdocs) in the UK. Apply: shorturl.at/auNTU or nominate by emailing [email protected]. #BlackInSTEM


Congrats to Lindsay who woke up this morning as Dr Williams after passing her joint Biological Sciences | University of Edinburgh Institute of Molecular Plant Sciences & Nagoya University PhD viva. Thanks to amazing examiners Dr Estrella Luna-Diez, Justin Goodrich and Prof Kinoshita!!Proud supervisors😃with Yasuomi Tada, Mika NOMOTO & beatriz_orosa
