Great new paper on plant conflict to defend against herbivores and attract pollinators by Alex Chautá. nature.com/articles/s4159…

An interesting new study by Alex Chautá on how plants perceive their environment: mdpi.com/2223-7747/11/2…

Thank you @MaarjaOpik and team for organizing a wonderful @NewPhyt #npnextgen meeting in beautiful Tartu!!

Andre Kessler @kessler_lab leads us through the world of herbivore induced plant volatile compounds, at #npnextgen.

Climate science & financials are clear. It’s past time to stop investing in fossil fuels. 1000+ academics & scientists agree, calling on New York State legislators to divest the state’s $200 billion pension fund from fossil fuels. Pass the #DivestNY Act. gofossilfree.org/ny/divestnylet…

Wow! 1000+ scientists, academics and researchers call on New York State legislators to #DivestNY from fossil fuels. The science is clear. Time for @carlheastie @nygovcuomo @andreascousins @NYSComptroller to act for our climate & future generations. gofossilfree.org/ny/divestnylet…
