Hi everyone, inspired by being asked to do something similar at a recent conference for early career researchers, I have recorded a presentation where I talk about my career path. There are many diverse paths, no two people follow the same path, and everyone needs to find theirs. Seeing examples might help inspire someone, so that’s why I am doing […]
We are recruiting a postdoctoral plant molecular physiologist. This would be perfect for someone who has recently finished a PhD and wants to get some further experience by contributing to our synthetic biology project Super-Rice! While it is a short term post (8 months because the project ends 30/06/2019), it comes with lots of perks! The post holder will visit […]
One of our new projects as part of IWYP aims to increase wheat genetic yield potential by speeding up the response of photosynthesis in shade-sun transitions. We are excited about it and made a video to let the world know about it! https://twitter.com/LancasterUni/status/1007245235745902592 A number of us at the photosynthesis group attended the IWYP Annual Meeting in Norwich, UK, June 2018, […]
This year’s retreat at Grasmere felt like a real treat!! Not only was the weather perfect to enjoy the Lake District at its best, we had a full day of productive scientific discussions focused on each project, and plenty of time to discuss science and the challenges and opportunities we face as scientists! A great opportunity to be together as […]
On Saturday 12 May, three Portuguese-speaking members of our team took part in the Native Explorers science education and outreach activity, co-organized by Lancaster University and the Native Scientist project. Cristina, Catarina and Elizabete were so fortunate to take this opportunity to talk to Portuguese teenagers living in the Manchester area about photosynthesis research going on at LEC. Seeing the […]
The photosynthesis team at Lancaster is researching how to improve carbon assimilation to increase crop yields, while minimising the use of resources. It started with the relocation of Martin Parry and Elizabete Carmo-Silva from Rothamsted Research in September 2015 (see the story here). In 2016 Steve Long, FRS, joined LEC on a joint appointment with his position at the University […]
