My favourite aspect of our research is interdiscipinarity. Thinking about plant physiology, global change, machine learning, instrument building, then deep in irish winter mud as we install some more minirhizotron tubes with @ianpalk.bsky.social and @ryanbrennan.bsky.social Cool science coming up!

Building on the @richardnair.bsky.social et al. 2023 automated minirhizotron paper (doi.org/10.1093/jxb/erac427), we're back at it with v2.0!

It's still a pile of wires on the bench, but we're upgrading both the hardware and the neural networks.

First installations of v2.0 are coming this winter!

My amazing research group @psb-trinity.bsky.social made their own bluesky account (@psb-trinity.bsky.social) as I'm not active enough!! Please give them a follow for info about things we're doing on #rootecology and #biogeochemistry here in Botany at @tcddublin.bsky.social 🌍🌿🌳
