We have an open Post Doc position in plant-volatile interactions, starting April 2026. Ideal if you love to use molecular tools to understand the natural world and improve agriculture. Interested? Send your CV, grades, motivation letter and refs (single pdf!) to vera.ogi@unibe.ch. Please share.

Herbivory-induced green leaf volatiles increase plant performance through jasmonate-dependent plant–soil feedbacks - Nature Plants This study reports that herbivory-induced volatiles can trigger plant–soil feedbacks that boost performance and yields of cereals in the field.

New paper on leaf volatiles and plant soil feedbacks determining maize performance. Pretty crazy stuff. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

And here is me, thinking this was a plant science paper... 😇

Glyphosat ist sowieso vor allem eine Ablenkung von einer differenzierten, chemisch und biologisch aufgeklärten Pestizid Debatte... leider wird's dann schnell zu kompliziert für eine anständige Punchline.

Fantastic audience today @unibe.ch. Talking about sustainable innovation with 250 wonderful people. Gives me hope for the future!

Hello new world.
