We need to talk about mobile RNAs... SNP-based analysis of transcriptomic datasets are subject to technical noise, incomplete genome assemblies and pseudoheterozygosity so it seems like we don't know as much as we thought we knew. #PlantScience @johninnescentre.bsky.social

An important consequence of the analysis by Paajanen et al is that the 'cell-to-cell mobile RNA' user-defined description listed under Gene Ontology by TAIR is a classification based on flawed analyses. Be careful! #PlantScience

WE JUST GOT DOGE’D no funding for this year. We have to cancel the program and email 450 applicants there will be no REU program in physics at MSU. First time in 20+ years. I’m fucking livid, y’all.

Come to Purdue this summer to get experience in Plant Data Science!!

I was at this townhall. "Bringing personal stories" & waiting for Republicans to change is NOT ENOUGH, and we are PISSED. I hope you are doing some soul-searching and strategizing right now. Take charge of the narrative, for God's sake! I get you are legislators. But you need to meet the moment.
