EcoFAB 2025 Meeting – EcoFAB

If you work with fabricated #ecosystems of any kind, consider signing up for the first #EcoFAB conference!! It'll be at the gorgeous Asilomar, CA conference grounds and is bound to be fun and useful!

My poster overview of the phenotyping platforms for studying Plant microbe interactions. The most controlled system EcoFab is on top , Agar and paper based system in the middle and the field and rhizotrons are at the bottom.

I made an overview of the #phenotyping platforms 4 #plant #microbe #interaction studies that we use in the #Root Dynamics group. 👇
The most controlled system #EcoFab is on top, while the most similar to nature #rhizotrons and #field🚜 at the bottom. Check out the + and - for each. 🧪
