Assistant Professor in Plant Physiology and Chemical Ecology @TCD_NatSci
I am delighted to be joining the Department of Botany @TCD_NatSci as an Assistant Professor this autumn! Very excited to develop interdisciplinary and collaborative research and learning activities that explore the interplay between plant physiology, chemistry and ecology!
New paper! #siliceousplants
Our meta-analysis on the effects of silicon-based plant defences on different herbivore functional groups is out now in @Ecology_Letters! This was a great team effort with @ScottJohnsonLab @itchyshin @profSueHartley @CookeJulia @jmwryalls & Losia Lagisz. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.11…
Would be great to see more examples like this going forward! Where the classroom is a place for real-world scientific contributions. No need to drawn such a clear boundary between teaching and research 👏
I'm very pleased to see this paper in print that was written by my MSc students as part of a class discussion on the use of AI and how it relates to teaching coding. Well done all on your first paper. besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/20…
Our new paper on in-silico estimates of replicability in ecology and evolution in @NatureEcoEvo led by wonderful YefengYang with two statisticians - @ErikVanZwet @nikosIgnatiadis Open access: nature.com/articles/s4155…
Please retweet! We are recruiting a PhD student to work on Tasmanian Bumblebees @JK_Cappadonna The successful applicant will research the impacts that introduced BBs are having on agricultural and native ecosystems in Tasmania. utas.edu.au/research/degre…
Our new 𝗮𝗶𝗿 𝗽𝗼𝗹𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗮-𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗹𝘆𝘀𝗶𝘀 @NatureComms shows how beneficial insects are much worse off than plant pests!!! We identify generalizable predictors for understanding how anthropogenic air pollutants impact insect communities. Thank you @jakecologist…
My first day @CityofEdmonton @UAlberta - here to create a Centre for Open Science & Synthesis in #Ecology & #Evolution. Looking for ~5 postdocs to join me in establishing the centre. Please apply - i-deel.org/opportunities.… Please RT
A nice plain language summary of our work 🌱🐛

Thrilled to share that we isolated & characterized multihexose benzoxazinoids 🎉! Induced by drought, these #naturalproducts may impact #climate resilience in #crops. @UniNeuchatel @unibern @snsf_ch @ERC_Research🌿🔬 pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…

Check out our work fearlessly led by @lei_plant now out in @CurrentBiology. If you like plant-plant interactions and are interested in the spatiotemporal regulation of airborne stress volatile perception in plants, this paper is for you!
Delighted to share our finding on the plant nose, previously posted on @biorxivpreprint biorxiv.org/content/10.110…, now in its final form @CurrentBiology sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
