Happy #RNA day! Celebrating my favourite molecule in science in style (RNA molecule shown on my ring finger in white and gold) spot the micropipette too! #scicomm

Thank you so much Milwaukee for the amazing #PlantBio2025! Until next year!

Have you seen their “bees on sticks”? It’s an efficient way to cross pollinate plants and used in plant space experiments! 🤯 #PlantBio2025

I can’t believe I battled @kcox-bioguy.bsky.social on the dance floor at the #PlantBio2025 annual party 🤣

Really engaging talk by @kcox-bioguy.bsky.social in the Single Cell transcriptomics and spatial session today at #PlantBio2025 . A lot of exciting technologies and research underway in his lab and I think I am convinced duckweed is my new fav 🦆 🌱

Fantastic night at the @aspbofficial.bsky.social joint editorial board dinner at the Mitchell Park Domes Horticultural Conservatory. Thank you to the organisers for making this a magical experience . @jennifermach.bsky.social @msr20.bsky.social @jmaidment.bsky.social @planteditors.bsky.social

So fun to meet up with all the other AFEs at #PlantBio2025 ! Certainly one of the highlights of this conference 😍🥰

Fantastic plenary session of @aspbofficial.bsky.social #PlantBio2025 to kick off the meeting yesterday. From connecting back to the community to networks in leaf morphology, certainly a science knowledge feast! Looking forward to day 2!

ASPB President Hong Ma shares the stage with the ASPB Leadership Team at the Opening Address at ##PlantBio2025 🌱 "The diverse perspectives of our leadership strengthen ASPB."

An absolute honour to have attended the #PlantBio2025 Joanne Chory symposium as a NSF registration award attendee . Listening to all personal stories and amazing science left by a scientific legend and carried on - I felt like through them I have met her. “Be Bold” - Dr Joanne Chory

We survived the editorial manager migration 🤣 Kick starting #PlantBio2025 with my very first editorial meeting as an Associate Feature Editor (AFE) And finally meeting @plantteaching.bsky.social 🤩

I struggled to find a lab book that shows what I do as a #bioinformatician And so I designed one for myself 🤩 loved how these turned out #phdlife #postdoclife #research #scicomm

It was an absolute pleasure to hear John Kilmartin - one of the major scientist behind the CO2 transport in Haemoglobin (did not know they used horse haemoglobin) and the Bohr effect- on his scientific journey in the “Life of PI” seminar series. Now the key lessons of high school biology 🧪 🧫

Today’s #LunarNewYear celebration at the MRC LMB 🧧🧧🧧 wishing everyone a happy new year here from Cambridge!

Absolutely love sym link - saves space and it’s easier for back tracking data/file source too

🔥chatomics! Are you ready to level up your bioinformatics skills? Let’s talk about repetition—a key concept that can save you hours in real-world data analysis.

My very first #Christmas dinner in Cambridge, UK 🇬🇧 Thank you to my lovely landlady for hosting 🥰🥰🥰 Merry Christmas everyone !

#Santa spotted at our department today @camplantsci.bsky.social 👀 Wishlist: grant funding, publications, good analysis results..(writing lists) #Christmas #postdoclife

Current status with analysis too #postdoclife

The aroma of jasmine rice is due to 2-acetyl-1-pyrroline. In a GWAS study, a WKRY TF was found to enhance rice aroma by repressing the expression of an aldehyde dehydrogenase (BADH2) that modifies 2-acetyl-1-pyrroline. Interesting example of double repression. From: www.cell.com/molecular-pl...
