Enjoying my first time at the Plant and Animal Genome meeting in sunny San Diego! #PAG33

Normally I post about science, but here is a bit of my textile dye art pieces that I enjoyed making during the holiday break #icedye

I'm excited to share our new work getting us closer to on plant-derived compostable plastic replacements 🌿🧪 My talented grad student, Mohammad Aghajohari, figured out the structure-reactivity roadmap for plant xylans to make it easy to modify. #glycotime #MaterialsScience #Biobased rdcu.be/eMh4g

Are you interested in graduate studies in plant science? UGA is looking for perspective graduate students to participate in Integrated Plant Science Access Preview Week hosted by graduate students affiliated with the UGA Plant Center.. Applications are due October 14th tinyurl.com/IPS-Access

🍭 Glycans are biology’s sugar code—super complex, super important. Thanks to AlphaFold3, we can now model their interactions with proteins! 🧪 Our new workflow unlocks fresh ways to explore immunity, infection & disease. doi.org/10.1093/glyc... #BioFGREAT #NSF #glycotime

The team at BioF:GREAT is always on the lookout for new protein design models that care about more than just the backbone! We are excited to try the new RFdiffusion3 (RFD3)! 🚀 New preprint from David Baker!🚀 🧪 #ProteinDesign #DeepLearning #ComputationalBiology www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Meet the BioF:GREAT Team at The Society for Glycobiology's Annual Meeting in San Diego this November and be part of the future of glycoscience! Register for SfGlycobiology here: www.glycobiology.org/annual-meeting See you there! #SfGlycobiology #glycotime #biotech #glycotime #glycosylation

Our work @benschulz.bsky.social on the specificity and the mechanism of activation of the eukaryotic oligosaccharyltransferase is now on Glycopedia ⬇️🎉🥳, the largest repository of #glycotime news and educational material online! Thank you Serge Perez 🤓❤️ glycopedia.eu/2025/09/09/r...

Sweet science, serious impact!! Check out this new paper from our NSF Biofoundry the BioF:GREAT. #glycotime 🧪

Who knew the kinome has a dark side? To find out more- check out this new paper from our NSF Biofoundry. #glycotime #kinase 🧪

GRC Lobstertime!! #CAZyme GRC #glycotime

So proud that Kristen Thorne in my group won an award for best poster at the CAZyme GRC today!! #glycotime

Enjoyed a tour of the #UGA Georgia Electron Microscopy facility to see the new #Sigray x-ray microscope that me and a group of PIs acquired through the support of #NSF MRI We’re ready to look at plant cell walls! 🧪

Had a wonderful evening celebrating my friend and colleague Robin Buell’s election into the National Academy of Sciences! So proud to be part of UGAs plant science community. 😊

Really excited to have this new capability at UGA thanks to the support of the NSF! The Eclipse XRM-910 Micro-CT from Sigray Inc., will allow us to create 3D models of plant tissues from a series of 2D X-ray images, preserving the original sample. #plantbio #glycotime 🧪

Celebrating 2 new PhD candidates in the Plant Biopolymers Group this week. Congrats to Zeina and Charlie!!!

We are still accepting applications to attend the GRC on CAZymes for Glycan Conversions. This year's theme is ‘Unlocking CAZyme Interfaces’. This is one of my favorite meetings and I am excited to be the vice co-chair elect this year. #glycotime #biochemistry 🧪 www.grc.org/carbohydrate...

It’s not just about this or that nameserver or browser, or how long it’s down, or if it’s intermittent (though those things are important, especially to clinicians and their patients); it’s this: “What if NCBI is not a permanent repository?” 🧪 🧬

Had a great time hosting @ArielOrellana this week for a wonderful visit! Lots of cool work going on with NDP-sugars in plants.

Have you ever wondered how pectin acetylation affects cell adhesion? Together with @breeannau.bsky.social we have the answer! Check our our joint preprint! @treebiocoe.bsky.social www.researchsquare.com/article/rs-5...

Read our new #preprint on @researchsquare: TBR is an RG-I rhamnose O-acetyltransferase required for epidermal cell adhesion in Arabidopsis thaliana. Pectin synthesis is much more complex than we think! #glycotime 🧪 www.researchsquare.com/article/rs-5...

Had a blast at our holiday lab Bingo party!! Great people 🧪 and great fun 🎉🍻

Our colleagues at the Jülich Plant #Phenotyping Center #JPPC (@fz-juelich.de) have an open #PHDposition. Apply on the link 👇 untill 10.1.2025. #PlantSciJobs #PlantScience 🧪 #Roots Re-post please. www.fz-juelich.de/de/karriere/...

Neat 🧪

I want to give @carrieaeckert.bsky.social a big shout out for leading our teams effort to work with scientists across academia, government, industry, and US funding agencies to suggest science roadmaps to drive the emerging bioeconomy. Check out our roadmap here!! www.casa-bio.net

Our new preprint is out on developing ML models to study glycosyltransferaes #glycotime 🧪 Thank you to DOE for supporting our work on glycoenzymes. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
