2021 EMSL User Meeting
October 4 - 7, 2021
Overview
The 2021 EMSL User Meeting—Environmental Sensors was held October 4-7, 2021.
This 4-day meeting encompasses the following topics:
- Plant Biosensors: Discovering molecular dynamics of plant responses to environmental changes
- Rhizosphere Sensors: Decoding plant-microbe communication
- Microbial Sensors: Monitoring nitrogen, carbon, and water cycling in soil
- Detecting biological traits across scales
- Emerging Technologies: Development and implementation
Attendees included international researchers from academia, industry, and government research laboratories. The EMSL User Meeting is open to EMSL users and non-users alike.
