Fantastic work, beautiful microscopy! Congratulations Lea, Michael and Co!

Congrats, Claudia!

Congrats, Emmanuelle!

Thank you, Heike! I know, and helping young scientists succeed is one of the most rewarding, and challenging, parts of the job.

Thanks, Thomas!

Thanks, Bert! Me too!

Thanks, Mary!

thanks!

Thanks, Steffen!

Thanks!

Yes, you should!!

Thank you, Ignacio!

Thanks, Kalika!

In WOODIER, we will investigate how aspen trees generate this excess wood and how the dynamics of wood formation change across the seasons. I can't wait to get started. Open positions available soon! 7/7

Now we are ready to take the next step. Unlike herbaceous Arabidopsis, trees produce proportionally much more wood than phloem because they need the extra wood to support their massive stems and branches. 6/x

So, what is WOODIER about? Over the years, our group has focused on understanding how the vascular cambium produces wood and phloem in Arabidopsis. This work has given us a detailed understanding of the molecular mechanisms that drive vascular tissue formation. 5/x

Finally, my sincere thanks to the @erc.europa.eu, panelists and reviewers for their trust in me and in our project. 4/x

I would also like to thank the many people who have supported me along the way: my mentors for their wisdom, grant coaches and administrators for their invaluable help, and colleagues who served on mock panels and challenged me with constructive criticism. 3/x

Their hard work, creativity, and willingness to tackle difficult questions have made this possible. I feel very fortunate to work with such a talented team and to be part of a lab with such a positive and collaborative spirit. 2/x
