My Corymbia calophylla common garden G x E study is out. We measured physiology, functional and growth traits in 10 populations over two seasons at 2 plantation sites. kwnsfk27.r.eu-west-1.awstrack.me/L0/https:%2F%2…

I'm enjoying all of the flowering marris around Perth and the flowers smell so good. But I wonder whether the prolific flowering is a stress response. Perth has had one of its hottest summers on record #corymbiacalophylla #risingtemperature #eucalypt #climatechange?

Finally got a chance to pick up my novel/paper weight once Sydney borders reopened #phdthesis #phdstudent #plantphysiology #climatechange #droughtstress #heatstress

Our recent work on tree dieback associated with drought and heatwaves discussed in a recent Guardian article #treedieback #planthydraulics #climatechange #globalchangetypedrought #drought #heatwaves theguardian.com/environment/20…

@b_medlyn @DrChoat @collin303 @DNAprymer I appreciate the excitement

@anthea_challis @DrChoat @collin303 @DNAprymer I was just too excited at seeing this paper out!

New paper alert! Anthea Challis @DrChoat @collin303 @DNAprymer unpick adaptation to drought in marri: Adaptive plasticity in plant traits increases time to hydraulic failure under drought in a foundation tree academic.oup.com/treephys/advan…

My first PhD chapter is live. Check it out if you're interested to learn about adaptive plasticity in hydraulic traits in a Western Australian foundation tree. #treephysiology #planthydraulics #adaptiveplasticity academic.oup.com/treephys/advan…

Some colleagues and I have just published a fun paper exploring plasticity to repeated heatwaves under different temperatures. FFO thermal tolerance and safety margins. @DNAprymer @AndyPlantLady @anthea_challis @AdrienneNicotra @Margare77278174 nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.111…

@J_Pihlblad Congratulations! Very happy for you. Hope you are doing a lot of relaxing and celebrating now

@RyanTangney Great talk Ryan. I am all too familiar with the optic fibre burial experiment

#ESAus20 SYMPOSIUM: Temperature Extremes: impacts, resilience and mitigation (Thermal Tolerance) - great line up of talks on day 1

@GavanMcG Thanks :) will do

@anthea_challis Congrats on submitting. Please send the link when it has been reviewed.

I have been feeling very creative since submitting my PhD and allowing my mental health to recover. I know a lot of PhD students are struggling with their mental health at the moment. Seek help and talk to others around you if you're struggling. And ask each other #ruok #RUOKDay

Our recent paper led by @M_EsperonR shows plasticity in important drought tolerance traits such as TLP (wilting point, shown. Tristaniopsis laurina) in an urban city in four tree species grown across a #rainfall and #temperature gradient. doi.org/10.1016/j.ufug…

@_erikaroper Congratulations!

Small life update: I figure it's time to tell everyone why I'm driving from Perth to Canberra next week... I got a job! I've applied for and got rejected for so many jobs this year I still can't believe it. I know how difficult things at the moment so don't lose hope like I did!

Adaptive plasticity in plant traits increases time to hydraulic failure under drought in a foundation tree

@_erikaroper Thanks @_erikaroper this is a life saver. I looked into the Aus study centrelink option as a 4th year PhD with no scholarship but we are not eligible as PhDs. I didn't think we had another option

PSA for Aus domestic PhD students: If you are enrolled *part-time* you are eligible for Jobseeker payments. A THREAD. (Apologies to international students. I can't think of a fix for you ☹️) Good luck everyone. #PhDChat #AcademicChatter 1/6

Exciting technique for measuring leaf temperatures during photosynthesis using oxygen #isotopes discussed at #AGU19 by Sean Michaletz #plantphys (note this temperature image is of a canopy using a different technique)

Not sure if Black Friday, or #AGU19 exhibit hall opening 🤔🤔🤔
