It's been a great day at #PlastidPreciew2025 at the @universityofessex.bsky.social I've learnt about chloroplast development, retrograde signalling and even macroalgae! @ciara-obrien.bsky.social, Thomas and Carol (my Seung group lab mates) gave fab talks and I'm looking forward to my go tomorrow...

The stage is now with @ciara-obrien.bsky.social‬ from the Seung Lab at @johninnescentre.bsky.social. She is presenting on how starch phosphorylase is necessary for normal starch granule initiation in potato tubers. Great insight into potato biology! #PlastidPreview2025‬

I had a great time presenting my work on potato starch at #PlantBio2025 🥔 @aspbofficial.bsky.social For more info see my poster 300-73! Great to have two presentations from the Seung Lab at @johninnescentre.bsky.social in the same session, and another on Tuesday 🌱
