O'Connor Lab

Hi everyone: Ithe O'Connor lab has moved to Bluesky. Follow us @oconnorlab.bsky.social

1/2. Chris Walsh was a constant source of inspiration – and remains so today. Here, I especially enjoyed his thoughts on the future of chemical biology: "Not Forecasting the Future: Rose Garden Philosophizing" sci-hub.hkvisa.net/10.1002/ijch.2…

We are looking for an ambitious PhD fellow to work on beneficial plant-microbe interactions. We offer an inspiring and international research environment at the Science Faculty, UCPH. Apply at employment.ku.dk/all-vacancies/… Please RT #PhDposition @KU_PLEN @cpsc_ucph #sciencejobs

The O'Connor Lab celebrates our 20th year in 2023. We are planning a celebratory symposium and party on 6 October 2023. More details will follow in the coming months.
