The Northen Lab continues to support and promote STEM outreach and education at the Berkeley Lab, participating in the Berkeley Lab Director’s Apprenticeship Program (BLDAP) for the fourth consecutive year in the summer of 2023. BLDAP is a 6-week, project-based STEM program for high school students, prioritizing underrepresented groups from […]
Northen Lab members Ying Wang, Vlastimil Novak, Pete Andeer, Amber Golini, and Kshitiz (KZ) Gupta are participating in the Berkeley Lab Director’s Apprenticeship Program (BLDAP), which is a high school STEM program designed to help students improve their research skills, learn about LBL, and develop a network with STEM professionals. […]
Lauren Jabusch, Benjamin Bowen, and Trent Northen are authors on the paper “Microfabrication of a Chamber for High-Resolution, In Situ Imaging of the Whole Root for Plant–Microbe Interactions.” As mentioned before, specialized plant growth chambers offer promise as a way of investigating rhizosphere interactions. The Imaging EcoFAB, presented in this […]
The rhizosphere is a dynamic ecosystem that is difficult to study due to the volume and types of interactions that occur. Trent Northen is an author on the review paper “Specialized Plant Growth Chamber Designs to Study Complex Rhizosphere Interactions” that takes a look at different types of chambers and […]
