Join us to hear about the research progress of the 2025 Pivot to Plants Fellows! Each Fellow will present a short talk on their research project, and their experience pivoting to careers in plant science. Afterwards we will celebrate their progress with a networking reception.
The Pivot to Plants Fellows Program is a 1-year training program for people interested in pivoting to a career in plant science, imaging, data science, or related STEM fields, but have limited research experience. The program enables adults with at least an associate’s degree to upskill in emerging technologies and methods in imaging, remote sensing, image analysis, data science, machine learning & AI, and plant science, allowing them to change their career trajectory towards numerous emerging technology fields. Fellows work closely with mentors at the Donald Danforth Plant Science Center to be trained for careers alongside educational and industry leaders in the St. Louis Metropolitan Region.

From Light to Insight: Chlorophyll Fluorescence Imaging for Plant Science
2026-01-15 11:00 - 12:00 | Donald Danforth Plant Science Center, 975 N Warson Rd, Saint Louis, MO, United States
The Danforth Center is excited to announce that the CropReporter system has been replaced with a new PlantExplorer Max imaging platform. This new camera can do the same capabilities as the CropReporter, plus more:

Photosynthetic efficiency (Fv/Fm, NPQ, Fq’/Fm’).

Spectral health indices (chlorophyll index, NDVI, anthocyanin index).

Color images (for plant size, shape, and color).

NEW: GFP and RFP of whole plants, seeds, and callus.

NEW: OJIP and PAM measurements of photosynthetic efficiency (previously only OJIP), enabling qE, qI, Electron Transport Rate, and more.

NEW: Higher resolution images.

To introduce the Plant Explorer Max and highlight what it can do, the Danforth Center invites you to attend a free 1 hour seminar by Dr. Katie Murphy to learn the difference between OJIP and PAM, and how this equipment can help your research questions. Whether you are a CropReporter user or are new to phenotyping, this session will provide useful context and practical information.
