Happy to share my first paper ! 🚀
Thanks to the PEPA lab and my great coauthors @adrienheymans.bsky.social, Rémy Schoppach, Valentin Couvreur and @guillaumelobet.bsky.social !

Great project with great opportunities, lead by a great supervisor in a great lab 😁
So happy to be in that an amazing lab 😀

It was an incredible opportunity to present my work at #rhizosphere6 !
"Modeling water uptake : influence of secondary growth, hydrophobic barriers and developmental anatomy on root hydraulic properties"
We couple functional models with experiments to better understand plant water uptake 🪴
New preprint from @stephanevrg.bsky.social 's lab!
🧪 Simulations + mutant tests show a shift in how we think about plant cell adhesion, challenging "textbook" view on the role of middle lamella.

🌱 Does #phosphorus shape what #roots release into the soil? Yes, but only at the right moment in the plant's life.

Great annual fun day in Namur with the PEPA lab yesterday. Feeling very privileged to be working with such amazing people! @marcodago.bsky.social @adrienheymans.bsky.social @lucianm.bsky.social
