- From the fjords to the only "ocean front property in Arizona", LI-COR instruments are working to help researchers understand our world. www.youtube.com/watch?v=TSjn... (sorry about the George Strait earworm)
- Researchers at the UMCES took the LI-7810 and a DIC system out into the fjords and made a video about it. Check it out here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=BOIZ...

- Reposted by LI-CORCake! our department has an annual Botany Bake Off, which this year was won by Josua. That is a £D printed flux tower with a functional CO2 sensor. Hlf the cake has a lot of different colouts, represnting plant diversity in the real world and the other half has only two, like in a model.
- Reposted by LI-CORNew exciting paper with Lu Fluxes involvement, highlighting how trees, ponds and grazing strongly shape greenhouse gas dynamics in Sahel savannas, showing how complex and dynamic semi‑arid ecosystems really are. Well Done Alek! @beccsweden.bsky.social @lund-university.bsky.social
- Here comes Santa Flux, here comes Santa Flux Right down Santa Flux Lane Mixin’ and Fixin’ and all his reindeers Pullin' on the reins Bells are ringin', children singin' All is merry and bright So hang your stockings and say your prayers 'Cause Santa Flux comes tonight.
- We're headed to #AGU25 next week! Time for beignets, boudin and booth goodies. See more of what you can expect at Booth 311 here: www.licor.com/conference/A....
- The final episode of our podcast is available, which means that the entire book is now available. Check out Episode 10 here: www.licor.com/podcast/leaf...

- There's no conductance from this sunflower leaf. Maybe we should call tech support?
- Episode 7 of our podcast is out today! Listen to Seton and Elizabeth (yes, that Elizabeth!) describe the considerations to choose the perfect leaf for your gas exchange measurements. www.licor.com/podcast/leaf...

- Have you listened to our Leaf to Leaf Podcast? Episode 4 was released yesterday and should be en-light-ening if you've ever wondered about how and why to set your instrument light levels. www.licor.com/podcast/leaf...

- Reposted by LI-CORFirst round of N2O flux measurements from ley (and more crops/treatments) in our new project is underway.
- If you left your red Nalgene in the LI-COR booth on Monday, it’s now at the ESA info desk lost and found (along with about ten other water bottles). #ESA2025
- That’s a wrap on the exhibits, but there will be roaming LI-COR scientists at #ESA2025 tomorrow, in case you just haven’t talked instrumentation with us enough.
- There is about 30 more minutes of exhibits at #ESA2025. Last chance for a discussion or a T-shirt!
- It’s the last day of exhibits at #ESA2025 and we still have T-shirts, pens, stickers, squishy sunflowers, and one misplaced Nalgene bottle. Please help us give them away.
- The ending CO2 concentration in the exhibit hall at #ESA2025 yesterday was 610 ppm. Can today’s poster session beat it?
- Did you leave your red Nalgene bottle at the LI-COR booth yesterday? It is lonely and would like to be reunited with you. #ESA2025
- Poster session number one is in full swing at #ESA2025. Do you need a squishy sunflower? 🌻 Yes, yes you do.
- The exhibit hall is open again at #ESA2025. There’s tea, coffee, and instruments. One of these things is not drinkable. You decide which one.
- The exhibit hall is open at #ESA2025. Come by and say hello! We have instruments and goodies.
- It's almost time for #ESA2025. We've packed our bags and our boxes and we'll soon be heading out the door. Who will we see at the Opening Reception on Sunday night?
- We're about a week out from #ESA2025 and looking forward to seeing everyone, possibly while walking very quickly from one session to another.

- Today Domesti-pups (www.domesti-pups.org) brought some therapy dogs in training to LI-COR. Best. Break. Ever.
- If you want to understand why Farmer Frank has fluxes of microchickens, you'll need to read chapter 1 of the guide.
- We have a podcast! Leaf to Leaf is a discussion of some of the theories, nuances, and pitfalls of leaf-level gas exchange, which you can subscribe to wherever you listen to podcasts. www.licor.com/podcast/leaf....
- Most scientists have wished for the ability to be in two or three places at once, especially in conference season. Completely unrelatedly, you can currently say hello to us at #Botany2025, #PlantBio2025, and #ASHS2025.
- This is super impressive!! Congratulations to @kyledelwiche.bsky.social and the team for this long run of methane data from a restored wetland in California. Looking forward to see how many more years you all can keep it going…
- Reposted by LI-CORBotany2025 is less than a week away! 🌿 We’re excited to reunite with our fellow plant physiologists. Here’s a throwback to a pic of the Physiology & Ecophysiology Section infront of the Licor booth at last years conference #Botany2025 #bsaecophys

- There are excessive heat warnings in a lot of places right now, so just a reminder - although your instruments do not generally like a cool drink of water, you do need that. Please do not let your Overly Honest Methods include "measurements were halted due to heat exhaustion".
- CAM plants are awesome and we also recognize that "equipment for photosynthesis measurement"! 🌵

- We know our instruments will be used in harsh conditions and sometimes we talk about asking our engineers to do the "drop it down a mountain" test. Here's a picture of a very early attempt at a "drop it down a mountain" test. Yes, that is a car. Yes, that is an instrument. It survived.
