Pleasure to meet and hear from NASA Emeritus Senior Scientist Ray Wheeler today! Ray is a wealth of knowledge on controlled environments for food and life support, having led the advanced life support research group. I'm lucky to be collaborating with him on LEAF which will grow plants on the moon🌿🌕

And had a fantastic presentation on photosynthetic induction from Liana! Motivating work ☀️⚡💡

Saved the best till last - really enjoyed today's gas exchange workshop with Yazen and Steven from @w-u-r.bsky.social at the 2025 PEPG Field Techniques Workshop. @sebiology.bsky.social
Can't wait to get stuck into some A-Ci curves and chlorophyll fluorescence once I'm back in Aus 🥳

PEPG Techniques Workshop 2025 going down a treat 🌿

Photos from yesterday's workshop on water relations and today's on chlorophyll fluorescence, as well as pastel de nata and Quinta horses @sebiology.bsky.social

Excited to be at this year's PEPG Field Techniques Workshop in beautiful Portugal! Highlight of day one was putting names to faces in person and making new connections 😁 @sebiology.bsky.social

P4S had a visit from the Australian Space Agency (including astronaut Katherine Bennell-Pegg) last week. It was great to chat about my current research with the Lunar Effects on Agricultural Flora (LEAF) project - an Artemis III mission which will send plants to the moon! 🌿🚀🌕

Delighted to receive a shoutout from Peter Hoj AC in the University of Adelaide Staff News yesterday! I am very grateful to the Playford Trust and Fulbright Australia for their support during my PhD, and I am excited to see what the future holds 🪴🚀

How many brains does it take to set up a Li-6800 aquatic chamber?! Lots of fun this morning with @bethloveys.bsky.social, @aaronlphillips.bsky.social, et al. We successfully got the chamber up and running! Excited to put it through its paces

Proud to share the fourth paper from my PhD! Hemp stomata drive water conservation and assimilation, with stomata responding rapidly to changes in water availability. @aaronlphillips.bsky.social @bethloveys.bsky.social

Great to be in Canberra at the LI-COR ANU Gas Exchange Workshop with @aaronlphillips.bsky.social. Thanks for the support to be here, @bethloveys.bsky.social 🌱 this morning's theory session was super valuable
