Rick van de Zedde was here at @kwsgroup.bsky.social to talk about his work making sense of the tons of data generated by the #PlantScience NPEC phenotyping platform run by @wurplant.bsky.social & @utrechtuniversity.bsky.social. Very interesting work, including producing smartphone apps for easy use.
Rick van de Zedde on stage at KWS showing an overview image of the NPEC, including the open field, Greenhouse, high-throughput chamber, ecotron, plant-microbe interaction and multi environment modules. A slide showing the publication "Pitfalls and potential of high-throughput plant phenotyping platforms" on how to set up a platform. Have a look here: https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/plant-science/articles/10.3389/fpls.2023.1233794/full Rick on stage showing the MoRPH app, created by Wageningen University and Lizard Global to phenotype fruit simply by using a smart phone. In the example shown, an apple is photographed, and the app automatically gives a phenotypic description, including size, shape, colours.

Blanka Vas unknowingly discovering the area 51 of climate change research during the cyclecross race in Maasmechelen. #couchpeloton #climatechange #mirror #fairytale #snowwhite #hasselt #mud #taxidriver #procycling
@specialized.bsky.social
This is a drawn cartoon about procycling with spectator Dr. Freakinstyle who witnesses and comments on procycling races. This particular cartoon is about the cyclecross race in Maasmechelen where the competitors ride along side a massive mirrored wall of the scientific climate change research facility of Hasselt University, called Ecotron. In the drawing we see the winner of the race Blanka Vas riding alongside the mirror displayed on the right looking at herself saying ‘mirror mirror on the wall, … I can’t recognize myself at all! Because she is covered in mud and not knowing what she is looking at. In the top middle we see Dr. Freakinstyle hanging over de mirror looking at himself doing a Robert de Niro impression of his Taxi driver film, saying: Are you talking to me? You talkin to me? Me?
