MC 2025: We came, we saw, we won🏆 🏆! Amazing team on a fantastic time at the Microscopy Conference in Karlsruhe.
Get this: two of our posters won Poster Prizes! We're pretty sure it was our perfect blend of science and questionable doodles in the margins. @ziegler-lab-ur.bsky.social
Ultrafast Almost Gold!
The Regensburg Center for Ultrafast Nanoscopy bio-section took second in the relay! Physics' reaction rates are attoseconds, but ours, Slower. Probably why "The Quantum Leapers" edged us out. Great fun and pretzels! @ziegler-lab-ur.bsky.social @katjaurbansky.bsky.social
Congratulations to Prof. @eilonshani.bsky.social Eilon Shani, #Hydrosensing PI, on being elected to EMBO 2025! 🎉
This honor recognizes his outstanding contributions to plant molecular genetics and scientific excellence @embo.org

Yesterday, through the tireless work of training runs, the support of my team, and the simple act of putting one foot in front of the other, we reached the finish line. The justice of completing what we set out to do, after the planning and the effort, has been served.

The logo of the Hydrosensing project symbolically and conceptually represents the scientific goals of the initiative, which focus on how plants perceive and respond to water stress. The image is framed within a water droplet, an element that directly references water as both a vital resource and the main subject of study. Inside the droplet, a plant with two green leaves grows from the center, symbolizing plant life and its interaction with water availability. The lower half of the droplet is vertically divided into two distinct sections: The left half, in blue, represents a moist or well-irrigated environment. The right half, in brown and ochre tones, suggests a dry soil or drought conditions. Roots extend downward from the plant's central stem into water, visually conveying the concept of a plant sensing and responding to different levels of water availability. The design visually reinforces the mission of the Hydrosensing project: to understand the molecular and physiological mechanisms by which plants perceive water stress, with the aim of contributing to the development of crops that are more resilient to climate change.
Glad to introduce our new logo 🎉
This new image reflects our mission: understanding how #plants perceive and respond to water stress — a step toward developing crops resilient to drought and #climatechange

Just wanted to send a massive THANK YOU to everyone who joined our #HydroSensing meeting!
Great energy & insights. Let's keep the collaboration flowing!
A special shout-out to our guest speakers who sparkedfascinating dialogues. Your contributions were invaluable!

We are fascinated by how our leafy friends 🌱 feel the subtle shifts in soil moisture 💦 Last week we hydrated your minds and cultivated connections at our #erc meeting focusing on the captivating world of #Plant #HydroSensing 🧩@hydrosensing.bsky.social @hydrophotonics.bsky.social
After our annual #HydroSensing meeting in Regensburg, we went for a hike.. of course with a subsequent data collection and data processing demonstration 😁 #Plant #cryoEM
