The Holbrook Lab is happy to congratulate Erin Wright for presenting their Senior thesis as part of the Department of Integrative Biology's ThesisFest on Thursday April 29th. Erin's thesis is entitled, Squeezed Until They Burst: Does calcium affect the mechanical properties of leaf cell walls? Way to go Erin!
The Holbrook Lab is happy to congratulate Dr. Jessica Gersony on the successful defense of her thesis entitled, Understanding phloem functioning in the context of water stress. Way to go, Jess! We couldn't be happier for you!
Five decades of weekly walks in the Arnold Arboretum find expression in Ginny Zanger’s art. “Rambling” gives her time to sketch and paint. Using the unique possibilities of her favorite medium—watercolor—and printmaking, Zanger explores, with articulate interpretations, the Arboretum’s rich botanical display. In this online show, most of her work is on Yupo, a silky, polypropylene paper that enhances the flow of the watercolor.
After her undergraduate time at Harvard, Zanger moved from Cambridge to Jamaica Plain. On this side of the river, she has spent years thoroughly...
The Holbrook lab is proud of our graduate students, Anju, Cat and Dan who shared their thesis research with the OEB department during the two-day long G4 symposium held on Monday, December 7th and Tuesday, December 8th. Way to go, guys!
Congratulations to Holbrook Lab grad student, Jessica Gersony, who won the 2020 ESA Physiological Ecology Billings Award at the annual ESA meeting held virtually from August 3rd to August 6th! The title of her talk was "Diurnal and seasonal carbon-water interactions in leaves of mature red oak trees." Way to go, Jess!
Congratulations to Anju Manandhar who was the recipient of the Harvard Center for Biological Imaging Simmons Award for her project, "Structural mechanism of stomatal movement (How do leaves have pores that open and close?)!"
Congratulations also to Meghan Blumstein who was awarded an NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology: National Plant Genome Initiative (NPGI), “Untangling the environmental and genetic drivers of phenological timing in red oak (Quercus rubra) to improve climate predictions!"
Congratulations to Meghan Blumstein who successfully defended her thesis entitled, "The plastic and adaptive potential of sugar storage in temperate trees under climate change on Thursday, August 6, 2020. We wish Meghan all the best in her future endeavors!
