After three years of hard work, I've finally submitted my PhD thesis today! Extremely grateful to my wonderful supervisors: Professor Scott Johnson and @blinkybenjy

Check out our new paper in #ProcB Royal Society Publishing investigating how wheat defence strategies shift from silicon- to carbon-based under elevated CO2 royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…

Great to see our latest silicon paper out: Elevated atmospheric CO2 changes defence allocation in wheat but herbivore resistance persists | Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…

JOB ALERT! Open-ended post with me The University of Sheffield on plant silicon & its role in sustainable, climate resilient agriculture🌾🌱 #siliceousplants Ref UOS031794 on Uni web, closes 25th Mar. DM for more info Julia Cooke Professor Scott Johnson Félix de Tombeur & Si researchers please RT!

#ScottJohnsonLab Excited to see our recent paper out in EEA: Contrasting impacts of herbivore induction and elevated atmospheric CO2 on silicon defences and consequences for subsequent herbivores onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.111…

New Publication Alert! Thrilled to share our latest paper out in Ecological Entomology . We show that plant-mediated interactions between herbivorous insects can be impacted by plant silicon defences. Professor Scott Johnson @blinkybenjy Check it out resjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

A big opportunity to work with a great mentor!

Today I presented at #ISCE_APACE on how plant silicon defences may play a role in biocontrol of herbivorous arthropods.

Excited to share that I've started my postdoc in entomology at #Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey. My research at Rutgers will focus on IPM of the annual bluegrass weevil, particularly by using #silicon fertilisation and entomopathogenic nematodes. Rutgers Entomology

Thrilled to see our new Functional Ecology Functional Ecology out verifying some of our lab findings in the field. Elevated atmospheric CO2 suppresses silicon accumulation and exacerbates endophyte reductions in plant phosphorus dx.doi.org/10.1111/1365-2… #siliceousplants

#ESA2023 Scholarships are now available at Western Sydney University. westernsydney.edu.au/schools/grs/sc… I'm looking for two PhD students to join me at the Hawkesbury Institute for the Environment.

Check out our new pub! Here we look at the interactions of silicon and endophytes on insect immune responce! doi.org/10.1111/1365-2… Professor Scott Johnson Sue Hartley @rputrabio Tarikul Islam

New Publication Alert! Thrilled to share our latest paper out in Frontiers - Plant Science. We show that silicon-mediated herbivore defences in a pasture grass is greatest under reduced CO2 Professor Scott Johnson A/Prof. Christopher Cazzonelli Check it out

Had a great conference! It was wonderful talking about #plant_silicon defenses against #herbivorous_insects at the ESA annual meeting #EntSoc23 Entomological Society of America

Excited to share our latest paper led by @rputrabio out in Agriculture, Ecosystem and Environment. We report the agroecological consequences of #silicon fertilization, with a focus on its impacts on aboveground #insect_biodiversity. Check it out sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

We're recruiting a new senior technical officer for our exciting new ARC Linkage Grant #siliceousplants. Please circulate if you can.

Calling this man mentally unwell is fucking blasphemous. Rarely have I read words with as much clarity, awareness, sincerity and integrity.

First review paper with conference buddies! Check it out..

Our new paper is out in #Physiological_Entomology with A/Prof. Christopher Cazzonelli and Professor Scott Johnson. We asked: Can #plant_silicon_defence interfere with carotenoid sequestration and green cryptic colouration in insect larvae? Check out the answer 👇 resjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ph…
