Today's my last day at @slcuplants. On Monday I start a @royalsociety University Research Fellowship @PPS_UoS, working on how #AbscisicAcid patterns regulate #Leaf #WaterRelations. I'm so grateful for the last 7 years in @xanderjones82's group who I'm really going to miss. (1/3)

I would like to thank @xanderjones82 and @casson_stuart @StomataSheff for their help with my application. I'll be advertising PhD studentships in 2025, so if you have good undergrads who love plants, imaging, water use, 3D printing or microcontrollers, to send them my way! (3/3)
