We are kicking off Postdoc Appreciation Day, organised by @crispus-mbaluto.bsky.social, Virginie Mengin and Lizzie Archer! A fantastic opportunity to celebrate the hard work, creativity and impact of our postdoctoral researchers. Let's get started! 🎉🔬 #PostdocAppreciationDay

Transgender Day of Remembrance honors those we've lost while celebrating what they've accomplished.

This Transgender Day of Remembrance, we remember those lost to anti-transgender violence and stand together for the equality and safety of all🕯️ 🩵 💗

"we raise our voices in solidarity to unequivocally proclaim the holiness of transgender, nonbinary, and intersex people, as well as the recognition of the entire spectrum of gender identity and expression." 💚 🏳️‍⚧️ 💚

A fully funded, fun PhD to enhance urban tree canopies with mistletoe to increase air quality, biodiversity, and well-being - all within a creative, collaborative molecular physiology and synthetic biology research environment. www.findaphd.com/phds/project...

This special issue will feature selected contributions presented at the Interdrought VIII conference and external contributions Interdrought VIII *happening now* in La Serena, Chile www.interdrought8.org #PlantScience #drought #Food Security

It’s #TransAwarenessWeek 🌈 This week, we’re celebrating trans and nonbinary people while also raising awareness of the challenges and discrimination that many still face. Check out our discussion with Rowan Casey: microb.io/4hFL6vk 👈 #TransInSTEM #TransInScience #LGBTQSTEMDay

Today is a big day as the Precision Breeding Act comes into force 🌱 @kamounlab.bsky.social: “This is a milestone for UK science and innovation. We now have the regulatory framework to translate discovery into impact — improving crops, strengthening food security, and benefiting society” 🌿
