News https://internt.slu.se/en/news/ To save plants motivated her to do her PhD in forest regeneration The choice of the planting position can determine if a tree seedling survives or not. Bodil Häggström always cared about the fate of seedlings which motivated her to investigate in her PhD the effect of different regeneration practices on the survival rate of tree seedlings. Her results reveal that there is no one-size-fits-all solution but recommends diversifying planting recommendations, especially when considering increasing drought periods in spring.

This was one of the key messages from a recent webinar arranged in collaboration between the research platforms SLU Future One Health and SLU Urban Futures. https://internt.slu.se/en/news-originals/2024/3/bridging-disciplines-through-urban-healthscapes/ 713423 Fri, 01 Mar 2024 15:46:30 +0100 Vinod Kumar investigates how tissue integrity is maintained in the leaf surface Last week, the European Commission awarded 1249 researchers with Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions postdoctoral fellowships. One of the awardees is Vinod Kumar from Stéphanie Robert’s group at Umeå Plant Science Centre and SLU. He will study how the underlaying cell layers interact with the outermost cell layer of a plant leaf and thus define the specific jigsaw-puzzle shape of this outer cells. https://internt.slu.se/en/news-originals/2024/2/vinod-kumar-investigates-how-tissue-integrity-is-maintained-in-the-leaf-surface/ 712103 Sat, 24 Feb 2024 10:18:17 +0100 Super stable POM nanostructures High purity hydrogen gas has a great potential in future green energy solutions. Its major source is the electrochemical cleavage of water – a technology that is in itself energy demanding and challenged by side reactions in the oxygen evolution process at the anode. Efficient electrocatalysts permitting to facilitate anode reactions are therefore highly requested. The state-of-the-art materials are highly expensive, made of an oxide of a noble metal ruthenium. https://internt.slu.se/en/news-originals/2024/2/super-stable-pom-nanostructures/ 712018 Fri, 23 Feb 2024 12:22:29 +0100 SIANI-SLU global 2024 The aim of this call is to support SLU researchers or other staffs to engage with SIANI-SLU Global and to communicate your research to broad audiences of academia and non-academia. The funding is for activities to be implemented during 2024. https://internt.slu.se/en/news-originals/2024/2/siani-slu-global-2024/ 711919 Fri, 23 Feb 2024 09:51:40 +0100 Statistics@SLU workshops, spring 2024: Questionnaire surveys, advanced regression and GLMM The center of statistics, Statistics@SLU, invites to three workshops during spring 2024. https://internt.slu.se/en/news-originals/2024/2/statisticsslu-workshops-spring-2024-questionnaire-surveys-advanced-regression-and-glmm/ 711230 Wed, 28 Feb 2024 10:16:40 +0100 Formas call livsmedelsberedskap Formas announces funds for the formation of national centers for research on food security.
