Pyroscience
PyroScience offers cutting-edge opto-chemical sensor solutions based on compact stand- alone (FireSting-GO2), PC-operated lab (FireSting-O2/-PRO) or underwater fiber-optic devices (AquapHOx loggers & transmitters). They work with a great variety of optical oxygen, pH and temperature sensors for application in gas, water and aqueous & semi-solid samples. The great variety of optical sensor heads include microsensors, miniprobes, and diverse smart contactless sensors for different oxygen and pH ranges. Pre-sterilised and pre-calibrated sensors are ideal for measurements in cultivation approaches, whereas fast-responding fiber- based probes, as well as flow cells and sensor spots with contactless read-out are well approved for respiration and photosynthesis rates determination. Now we also offer a 96- channel reader FirePlate-O2, e.g. for 96-well plates with integrated oxygen sensors, for application in small-scale cell cultivation and respiration rate measurements. Find the best sensor solution for your application in experimental biology.

Star-Oddi
Mission
We are dedicated to providing robust monitoring equipment for use in demanding environments.
Vision
Our objective is to become a worldwide leader in the development and production of small, reliable and robust measuring instruments.
Values
- Reliability – We deliver reliable products and are a reliable partner and colleague
- Honesty – We are honest towards our customers, partners and each other
- Ambition – We are ambitious in our work and innovation
Our History
Star-Oddi was founded in Iceland in 1985. From the start we have been a leading developer and manufacturer of small sensors, data loggers and technology for environmental and life sciences.
We have over 30 years of experience in making small, performing loggers for four main markets:
- Underwater environments and subsea gear
- Aquatic animals
- Wildlife and laboratory animals
- Production quality control
We are committed to providing long lasting loggers in the smallest possible sizes, never compromising on reliability.
The story behind the name
Oddi Helgason, nicknamed Star-Oddi, or Stjörnu-Oddi in Icelandic, was an Icelandic viking who lived in the north of Iceland. Star-Oddi was known for his skills in astronomy and spent much of his time analysing the movement of the sun, moon and stars. Star-Oddi‘s observations made it possible for the vikings to extend their sailing period from the short summer months.

Journal of Experimental Biology
Journal of Experimental Biology (https://journals.biologists.com/jeb)
Journal of Experimental Biology is the leading journal in comparative animal physiology and biomechanics. It covers a broad range of integrative, comparative, ecological, and evolutionary physiology and biomechanics research in animals at all levels of biological organisation, from the molecular to the integrated whole animal. JEB has a >100-year history of publishing influential papers. The journal is proud to support biologists at all career stages and is a long-term sponsor of SEB.

Annals of Botany
Founded in 1887, Annals of Botany is an international plant science journal publishing novel and rigorous research in all areas of plant science. Research applying molecular, analytical, mathematical and statistical techniques to examine topical questions at any level of biological organization ranging from cell to community, tissue culture to crop production, and microclimate to ecosystem are welcome. The scope extends to all flowering and non-flowering taxa and includes taxonomic and evolutionary questions. Article types include Original Research papers (Research Articles and Technical Advances), Invited and Submitted Reviews (Reviews, Research in Context, Perspectives), and Editorial & Front Material (Botanical Briefings, Letters, and Commentaries).
The Journal is managed by the Annals of Botany Company, a not-for-profit educational charity based in the United Kingdom, established to promote plant science worldwide. Annals of Botany is published monthly in both electronic and printed forms with at least two Special Issues each year that focus on a particular theme in plant biology.
All articles back to 1887 are searchable for content from the Annals of Botany website, and their titles or abstracts may be downloaded free of charge. Articles more than 12 months old and dating back to 1993 may be accessed in their entirety from the web site free of charge. Issues published between 1887 and 1992 may be downloaded free of charge if your institution has subscribed to this service. For non-subscribers, a pay per view service is available for each article published in the past 12 months or prior to 1993.
Annals of Botany authors have the option to publish their paper under the Oxford Open initiative; whereby, for a charge, their paper will be made freely available online immediately upon publication. Annals of Botany offers extremely competitive rates for Open Access publication, supported by its not-for-profit status aiming to promote botanical science

The Jan IngenHousz Institute
The Jan IngenHousz Institute (JII) is an independent and privately funded research institute aimed at improving the productivity, sustainability, and climate resilience of agriculture. JII specifically focuses on photosynthesis, the foundational process in nature providing us with food and oxygen, as well as reducing atmospheric CO2. This echoes the efforts of the 18th century Dutch scientist who discovered photosynthesis and whose name we carry.
The overarching goal of JII is to increase the efficiency and robustness of photosynthesis, which in turn should lead to more productive and sustainable agriculture. This is a huge and complex ambition. Photosynthesis is an extremely complex process, intimately linked with the biology of plants. It is also an extremely dynamic process, responding with incredible speed to changes in environment. Moreover, each crop and every agricultural region will have its own limitations and genetic targets that influence photosynthesis efficiency.
We acknowledge that a challenge of this magnitude requires new, integrated approaches. Therefore, we do things a little differently. We aim to build a network of excellent research groups and facilities, coordinated by principle investigators within JII. They will coordinate all the participating groups and projects, and lead the development and deployment of an open science platform with integrated data and modeling pipeline.
The Jan IngenHousz Institute was founded by Wageningen University & Research and the philanthropic fund P2RF on September 1st 2022. This independence allows JII to connect and empower scientists, engineers, and crop developers in ways that would be difficult with traditional funding.
