So, throw the trainees under the bus and keep the PIs unscathed?!? What if the PI created a toxic environment leading to this behaviour? What if the institute creates a toxic environment glorifying CNS papers??? Will you mention these at the retraction note?

Excited to share @robynemm.bsky.social and I will be co-chairing a session on plant epigenetics in development and plasticity at @sebiology.bsky.social Annual meeting in Florence Registration is now open! Submit your abstracts and enjoy some fantastic chromatin biology in beautiful Italy ☀️ 🧬

We're delighted to welcome four new Advisors to the New Phytologist Advisory Board! 🌱 Suayib Üstün @suaybuestuen.bsky.social 🌱 Courtney A Hollender @plantdoctorc.bsky.social 🌱 Yongbiao Xue, Beijing, China 🌱 Amandine Cormille @cornilleamand.bsky.social

The Clavel Group is recruiting a new postdoc for two possible projects dealing with plant-virus interactions and selective autophagy! More (wordy) details below ⬇️🌱🦠

Nice perspective piece from @drosborneplantsci.bsky.social 🌱💚🧬

So happy to see this work finally online! In this Research Review, I discuss the emerging roles of H3K27me3 writers (the enzymes that lay it down) and erasers (the enzymes that remove it) in controlling plant adaptation 🌿🌡️❄️🦠 nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Preprint alert! It is my great pleasure to announce the first manuscript from the lab, a story that started @gmivienna.bsky.social and was mainly accomplished by the intrepid @gesahoffmann.bsky.social at @mpi-mp-potsdam.bsky.social. A brief thread with our findings www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Glad to have this finally published: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... lots of new data since the #preprint. If you are into selective #autophagy, #evolution, #proteostasis Please have a look!

Excited to bring to your attention 2-year work by @sylvain-vicente.bsky.social and collaborators #BIOSP #MathNum @inrae-dpt-spe.bsky.social. A re-evaluation of STAMP modelling, introducing a much needed time-resolution. Works also on Animal-bacterial infection models. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

So glad it's finally out! Great work at the @theustunlab.bsky.social together with @margotraffeiner.bsky.social. I hope you enjoy reading it! 🪴🔬

We recently celebrated the 7th anniversary of @theustunlab.bsky.social with a barbecue! Our journey began in Tübingen in September 2018 and has continued in Bochum since 2022. Excited to see what the coming years will bring!

Incredibly happy and proud of our Chaonan Shi (chaonan123.bsky.social ), who successfully defended her doctoral thesis yesterday at the @zmbp-tuebingen.bsky.social ! (And what a brilliant defence it was!) 🥳🥳🥳 Congratulations, Dr Shi!!! 🍾🥂🍋‍🟩🌶️ We are so lucky to have you in our team ❤️

Very excited to share that our paper "A RALF-brassinosteorid signaling circuit regulates Arabidopsis hypocotyl cell shape" is now published in @currentbiology.bsky.social ! Enjoy reading it!! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

7 years ago,I sat outside @zmbp-tuebingen.bsky.social,gathering the courage to begin a new chapter as a group leader. Now in Bochum, I still need that courage to face challenges—both inside & outside the lab—but after all I’m grateful that I still find joy in what I do. #happybirthday #theustunlab

🔥 Fires in Portugal and Spain have sent huge plumes of smoke over the Bay of Biscay this morning. White is clouds, light brown is smoke:

If you’re enjoying some calm while others are on holiday, here’s a #NEW #preprint to dive into — led by the brilliant @vbcscitraining.bsky.social student A. Abdrakhmanov: 👇 A quick thread + link: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

We (@manuelgonzalezfuen.bsky.social @margotraffeiner.bsky.social @shanshuo.bsky.social) had a fantastic #2025ISMPMI in Cologne with lots of amazing science and great networking meeting old friends and new ones. Hope to see you all next time in Jeju/South Korea #2027ISMPMI

It is depressing to be at an international conference and have everyone be like “what is going on over there”. 🫠 Not exactly making America great.

Next in the concurrent session “spatial and temporal session” is @type3lab.bsky.social who will talk about their amazing findings on distinct pseudomonas subpopulations that cooperate to colonize plants #2025ISMPMI

If you wanna dive into the world of #proteostasis and its role in plant immunity, visit @margotraffeiner.bsky.social poster (P-405) today. She discovered a novel proteotoxicity regulator (a protease with ubiquitin binding capacities) that plays a role in biotic and abiotic stresses! #2025ISMPMI

Happy to meet you at poster no. P-405 and to talk about my project at #2025ISMPMI this afternoon! 🌿

Last day of #2025ISMPMI, last poster session: dont miss @shanshuo.bsky.social fantastic poster about how we used a combination of scRNAseq and cell-type specific approaches to reveal the role of autophagy in stomatal & mesophyll immunity during Pseudomonas infection - more info ➡️ P-432 #proteostasis

Hannah @mcmicrobes.bsky.social will start her own lab in 2026 (congrats a lot 🥳)- watch out for some job postings in the future - she will continue to work on heat stress and the effect on leaf-microbioata! #2025ISMPMI

Sheng Yang leaves the stage for @mcmicrobes.bsky.social who continues to talk about her exciting results on how abiotic stress impacts the leaf-microbiome #2025ISMPMI

We start the last day of #2025ISMPMI with Renier van der Hoorn who will present his pioneering work on how pathogens manipulate apoplastic defence

#2025ISMPMI Manuel Gonzalez Fuente from the Üstün lab shows how pathogens like Pseudomonas target p bodies with effectors HopM1 and HopN1. ER stress induction by HopM1 counteracts p bodies.

Enjoying the free afternoon in Cologne at #2025ISMPMI with @manuelgonzalezfuen.bsky.social @margotraffeiner.bsky.social and Christa 🥂

@manuelgonzalezfuen.bsky.social explains that eukaryote P bodies contain translationally inactive RNAs. Do pathogens induce the formation of these? Yes! How? Effectors!… that repress ER stress response. Why? Make plants susceptible by reducing translation of immunity genes. #2025ISMPMI

Now @manuelgonzalezfuen.bsky.social is on stage presenting his exciting project on p-bodies, and how bacteria utilize them to attenuate host translation #proteostasis #2025ISMPMI

If you want to hear about our latest work at @suaybuestuen.bsky.social's lab on pathogen manipulation of host translation and P-bodies at #2025ISMPMI, pass by my presentation today at 12:20 in the concurrent session "Effector interference mechanism" (Room M+N).

Great to see @geminiteamlab.bsky.social and @bactodeath.bsky.social presenting a lot of unpublished data, new concepts and approaches in plant-microbe interactions! This should be the spirit at this meeting! Very cool plenary session at #2025ISMPMI

@manuelgonzalezfuen.bsky.social will talk about how bacteria exploit P-bodies to attenuate host translation @margotraffeiner.bsky.social presents a novel proteotoxicity regulator and its role in plant immunty @shanshuo.bsky.social will emphasize the role of autophagy in stomatal immunity

If you’re interested in the role of #proteostasis in plant immunity and how pathogens manipulate it visit our contributions at #2025ISMPMI @manuelgonzalezfuen.bsky.social will talk on Tuesday in the effector interference session @shanshuo.bsky.social (P-432) @margotraffeiner.bsky.social (P-405)

We made it to cologne (shortest trip to an MPMI ever 😆) looking forward to some great science! #2025ISMPMI #theustunlab

Another amazing conference ended - was great to attend two amazing sessions on #proteostasis and #condensates - with @manuelgonzalezfuen.bsky.social having a double feature and winning the Yound Scientist Award in the cell section of @sebiology.bsky.social next stop: IS- MPMI in Cologne! #2025ISMPMI

Honoured to receive the #YoungScientistAward from the @sebiology.bsky.social in the Cell section at the Antwerp conference. Thank you for this amazing recognition — I’m truly grateful!

We‘re ready for the #SEBconference Award Dinner 🤩 @sebiology.bsky.social @manuelgonzalezfuen.bsky.social

Next in the condensation session is our own from @theustunlab.bsky.social @manuelgonzalezfuen.bsky.social who talks how bacteria exploit p-body condensation to suppress protein translation #proteostasis #immunity - see also our preprint www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

It's happening now! @suaybuestuen.bsky.social is presenting now at @sebiology.bsky.social such an amazing work on how plants cope with proteotoxicity!! 🌱#proteostasis

Heading to Antwerp to attend the #SEBconference ‪ @sebiology.bsky.social ‬to present our latest findings (see latest version of our paper here: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....) how 🌱 cope with proteotoxicity in the #proteostasis session (C1.11). Hope to see you all there!

Was great to have you here @djgibbs.bsky.social - was fun to strengthen our scientific collaboration with the crew @manuelgonzalezfuen.bsky.social and Margot Raffeiner - look for this space for more news soon on protein translation/proteotoxic stress 🤓

The GreenRobust Cluster of Excellence, a joint venture of the Universities of Tübingen, Heidelberg, and Hohenheim, is now a reality!! For the next 7 years, we will investigate the principles underlying robustness to perturbations in plants. Stay tuned! greenrobust.de 🍾🥂💚🌱 @dfg.de
