Former COS scientist @heikelindner.bsky.social secures an SNSF starting grant to study the role of succulent anatomy in CAM photosynthesis. Congratulations!
I am beyond thrilled (like the screaming and jumping type of thrilled) that my SNSF Starting Grant was funded. I will start my own lab @unibe.ch next year, studying succulent anatomy development and if and how this anatomy is required for efficient CAM photosynthesis in different Kalanchoë species 🌱
