So excited to see this paper out in Cell from the group of my good friend @mydennis.bsky.social It's been so exciting to see this story progress progress. www.cell.com/cell/abstrac...

Excited that our paper with @bradylabs.bsky.social on conservation and divergence in nitrogen regulatory networks is finally published. This was a fun & rewarding collaboration that will continue in new projects to engineer 🍅 N responses academic.oup.com/plcell/artic...

At long last, our paper on conservation and divergence of a nitrogen circuit upstream of NLP6/7 &NIR1 in Arabidopsis and tomato is published! It's an exciting combo of whole plant, in vitro, protoplast and systems bio approaches: tinyurl.com/nitrogencirc... @gozdedemirel.bsky.social

This is my all-time favorite meeting. The best plant developmental biology meeting imo.

I'm so very excited to see this out - a single cell and spatial transcriptomic analysis in the rice root reveals mechanisms by which roots can respond to different below-ground growth conditions - including compaction. Congratulations to everyone for persisting in difficult times. rdcu.be/ej8Ui

We have a postdoc position that just opened up in the Brady lab on reprogramming tomato root system architecture in response to changes in nutrient availability - please consider applying! recruit.ucdavis.edu/JPF07095

Check out this exciting GRC on plant single cell bio! I’ll be speaking about our collaborative @hfspo.bsky.social moss project with @tevavernoux.bsky.social Yoan Coudert, Lidor Shara-Moshe, Richard Smith, Javier Jauregui-Lazo, Laure Mancini and more!

Finally! Im so excited to present to culmination of many years of work from the fantastic Defeng Shen and some great collaborators. For details, I have made a digested thread below, but if you are more interested feel free to reach out (and read the paper of course). www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Plz Repost. We @slcuplants.bsky.social @uniofcam.bsky.social are looking for a postdoc with proven protein biochemistry & cell biology expertise & strong interest in plant processes targeted by Phytophthora effectors. (apply before 2 April) [Image: Alex Guyon] www.jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/50570/

Huge thank you to Chancellor May and our wonderful @ucdavis.bsky.social donors for choosing me as a Chancellor’s Fellow! The UC Davis SVM did a lovely write up if you are interested in learning more about me and this award! www.vetmed.ucdavis.edu/news/crystal...

I've had conversations in the last day with NSF&USDA employees on my research, outreach & permits. I am in awe of their efforts, above&beyond, to enable our research community, to push things through, despite not knowing if they will have a job next week. They are TRUE community providers & heroes.

To US colleagues who have lost or are in imminent danger of losing their jobs: please DM whether we can accommodate your research.

New round of the Lise Meitner Excellence Program for tenure track group leaders in @maxplanck.de institutes opened today -- please consider applying! The program aims to recruit and promote exceptionally qualified female scientists. Because diversity increases excellence! www.mpg.de/lise-meitner...

We have a PhD position available at the Department of Biosciences, University of Oslo to work on peptide signaling in plants and insects. Please share. www.jobbnorge.no/en/available...

Does anyone have experience with low-input high-throughput (96 well plate) RNAseq library preparation from plants (bonus points if it is with plant roots...)

I'm happy to announce a postdoctoral position is available in my lab. We have lots of great data to analyze with respect to transposons & epigenetics and cool biological questions to answer. Please reskeet and share.

Hello bluesky friends! I'm excited to introduce myself. I go by (mee-gun) and am a proud #firstgen college grad that grew up in the midwest. My lab @UCDavis studies genetic drivers of human traits, evolution, and diseases, with an emphasis on neurodevelopment and complex variation. 1/10 (buckle up)

Reminder #jobalert for a starting postdoc or PhD position (for someone with strong ML background)! Joint project with Gregoire Montavon’s lab at #BIFOLD @xtraexer.bsky.social - explainable AI for self supervised LLMs in gene regulation. Apply until Dec 13! www.bifold.berlin/about-us/opp...

I am so excited to share Dr. C Manzano’s work: she demonstrates the developmental timeline, function and genetic regulation of the polar lignin cap in the tomato root. It functions as a distinct intercellular barrier from the Casparian strip and is repressed in inner layers. rdcu.be/d10Pd

I am really proud to share our study on microbes, Striga and sorghum is now online in Cell Reports! doi.org/10.1016/j.ce... and the press release is here: biology.ucdavis.edu/news/soil-mi... This was an epic effort led by the incredible Dorota Kawa, +B. Thiombiano, H. Bouwmeester, J. Raiijmakers...

I've got a postdoc position open in my lab. Do you work on moss, single cell transcriptomics or plant developmental genomics? Consider applying for this position - more here: recruit.ucdavis.edu/JPF06360
