Congrats to Pilar Carbonero, one of my mentors, whose portrait is now part of the series that @upv.es dedicates to woman scientists throughout the city of Valencia. Nice to see her on the wall and in the flesh!

Greta Thunberg tiene un poder increíble (y sumamente molesto) que es poner en evidencia los mundos tristes en los que nos confina nuestro conformismo, nuestro cinismo, nuestra socarronería, nuestra pasividad insensible y nuestros mezquinos "principios de realidad".

First day underway and already amazed with awesome science! And the bonus of meeting great friends and colleagues. Thanks for inviting me, the dicot intruder!

Today was @irenegonzlez.bsky.social ‘s day! Congratulations to the new doctor! A great thesis, an excellent defense and all with an awesome committee and proud supervisors, Paz Merelo and myself @ibmcp.bsky.social

We were lucky to have @chfankhauser.bsky.social today at @ibmcp.bsky.social, talking on how plants sense light direction

Amen

I truly enjoy PhD defense days. My congrats to new Dr Lu Xiong, from @cragenomica.bsky.social. Here, with Paloma Mas, proud supervisor, and my fellow members of the committee

My dear friend Natalia! Congrats!

It was already known that auxins (surprise!) had a key role controlling the end of flowering, plant menopause. Now we can tell you how and where they act in the inflorescence meristem to control the process. @irenegonzlez.bsky.social www.cell.com/current-biology/fulltext/S0960-9822%2825%2901002-4

While studying how plants cease flowering we wondered if determinate inflorescences might behave different. Moreover: are fleshy fruits strong sinks that starve the meristem? Arabidopsis did not have the answers, so we turned to 🍅🍅🍅, Curious?👇👇👇 academic.oup.com/plphys/article/199/1/kiaf195/8127772

Looking very much forward to participate in this thrilling meeting... 👇🏼

The second EvoDevoSigNet meeting kicks off!, two days of exciting multidisciplinary science looking for synergies. @cristicris.bsky.social opens the event

@ignaciorubiosomoza.bsky.social @cragenomica.bsky.social is our first speaker telling us how acquisition of developmental innovations impacts on the evolution of plant immunity programs and pathogen infective strategies

Next is @stephanpollmann.bsky.social @cbgpmadrid.bsky.social on a new molecular link connecting auxin and ABA metabolism and signaling

Eva Alvarez, PhD student with Jose Manuel Franco-Zorrilla at CNB, shows how they use DAPonATAC to dissect stress gene regulatory networks

The closing talk today is by Noelia Arteaga from @oscarlorenzos.bsky.social lab CIALE showing the evolution of NO signaling

Our invited speaker @sandyheth.bsky.social from University of Edinburgh, telling about fosil and genes instructive knowledge about drivers of complexity in plants

@cristicris.bsky.social from @ibmcp.bsky.social is sharing with us her progress on understanding the evolutionary roles of HECATE genes

Next talk is by @jorgehg.bsky.social from @cbgpmadrid.bsky.social talking about the evolutionary origins of auxin induced transcription

Miguel Blazquez @ibmcp.bsky.social is showing us how representatives of different plant lineages integrate light and temperature signals

Julia Quintana @iicg-urjc.bsky.social sharing her projects on studying mineral uptake and storage in wild and domesticated crops

Federico Valverde @ibvf-sevilla.bsky.social will guide us through the many roles of CONSTANCE in different plant species

Blanca Salazar, from Concha Gomez-Mena Lab @ibmcp.bsky.social , sharing with us her results on the effects of domestication in tomato parthenocarpy

Esto es una puta genialidad... IMPOSIBLE explicarlo mejor.

Exciting!, the second EvoDevoSigNet meeting will take place next June 2nd to 4th!, come join us for the talks and networking for free (details in the advertisement!!), supported by @cienciagob.bsky.social

Venga, dadle, que son buenísimos!

Oooooh, one of my favorite bands, in one of my favorite gig venues from my time in San Diego (twenty something years ago...😵‍💫) Great memories!

NAASC is excited to host Dr. Stefan DeFolter, Dr. Nayelli Marsch, and Dr. Stewart Gillmor on June 6 to learn their Plant Biology Story! Join the June 6th webinar to learn about 3 plant biology faculty at CINVESTAV-IPN in Irapuato, Mexico Register now at www.arabidopsiscommunity.org/mpbs

Interesante, también los comentarios

A great day for MENDELorians! rdcu.be/ei4ad, such a line-up of terrific geneticists there too. #PlantScience

Este año no ha sido el mejor para mi en lecturas, probablemente ni en cantidad ni en calidad, pero aquí os dejo algunas de las que se me han quedado más pegadas ¡FELIZ SANT JORDI! #santjordi🌹 #nosinmislibros

Project meeting to take on spring at full bloom. An update from all contributors to our #DontStopMeFlow Prometeo project, #GVAeducatio. And remember, if you want to help science from your vegetable garden, participate in our CitizenScience project #Floreciendo! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

IPGSA 2025 is going on in BEAUTIFUL Fort Collins, Colorado, from June 29th to July 3rd. EARLY REGISTRATION and ABSTRACT SUBMISSION deadlines due April 15th! 54 talks chosen from abstracts and 22 Travel Awards to USA and INTERNATIONAL scientists. Register and apply for awards NOW. 🌱 #plantscience

February was the month of PhD vivas! This time in Milano, two at the same time, Camilla BANFI and Chiara ASTORI, supervised by Lucia Colombo. In the committee, with Lucio Conti and Barbara Baldan. Great work and a lot to learn (for me at least) #PlantScience #LoveTourGametophytes #PlantReproduction

I ❤️PhD defense days ( did I mention before?). Today, all the way to Kiel University, where Kea Ille did an excellent job defending her project on how to generate perennial rapeseed plants under Siegbert Melzer supervisión. Enjoyed every bit

That is great news for all the #PlantScoence community. Congrats, @cristobaluauy.bsky.social !

Never late to celebrate #11Feb #internationalDayGirlsWomenInScience. Hello from @ibmcp.bsky.social @ferrandizlab.bsky.social

Awesome seminar today to learn about double genomes. Kirsten Bomblies and her fascinating stories about polyploidization in plants ❤️❤️ @ibmcp.bsky.social #plantscience at it’s best

Very nice work on a cool TF. Check it out!
