Quels matériaux et quels enjeux complexes se cachent derrière l’écran lisse de nos smartphones ? Et comment prolonger leur durée de vie ? Immersion dans une animation de Repair Together Asbl, à l’Athénée royal Jean Absil à Etterbeek.

Mycorrhizal networks

"Fungi form well-documented and functionally relevant symbioses with the majority of plants and the fungi grow inside the roots, forming symbiotic exchange interfaces."

"Reasons underpinning this focus on common mycorrhizal networks (CMNs) are quite evident: these fungi form well-documented and functionally relevant symbioses with the majority of plants and the fungi grow inside the roots, forming symbiotic exchange interfaces (Smith & Read, 2008)."

Hello there!

I'm a new PhD student freshly arrived in #Toulouse to work on plant-microbe interactions. My thesis will focus on the study of mycorrhizal and rhizobial #symbioses at the root #endodermis level.

On the side, I like to do #photography, discover new music (often #postrock) and play with computers and electronics (mostly #Linux and #Arduino).

Looking forward to exploring the Fediverse :)

#introduction

Partie de #Symbioses hier soir, la deuxième que je fais en présence et je me suis encore senti embarrassé de la présence des autres, comme si ce jeu où les personnages vivent en des lieux, des cultures, voir des temps différents était fait pour le virtuel. En tous cas il y a une convergence en virtuel qu'il n'y a pas autour d'une table.

Et sinon, meilleurs #JdR pour faire des monologues mystiques.

Reminder: The 2023 GRS on Animal-Microbe #symbioses is officially open for abstract submissions. This 2-day meeting will happen right before the sister GRC. All applicants are encouraged to apply for both! 1/5

“#Ciliates are interesting because they form #symbioses with other #microbes really easily. Even though they are common in oxygen-depleted environments where there is not a lot of energy available, they are large and very active. Some get large enough that you can even see them with your eyes.”
