Last but not least, a huge thank you to our amazing organizers @hengqi.bsky.social, @carlos-rc.bsky.social, @rimchaudhury15.bsky.social, @advaitagashe.bsky.social, and @kevindaniel.bsky.social for making the symposium inspiring and full of great #PlantScience! 🙌 And thank you all for joining!

Our excursion to Syngenta Crop Protection Research Stein offered insights into seed care, chemistry, and product development. From designing active compounds to creating practical crop protection solutions, one key message stood out: innovation starts with “thinking like a farmer.”

Ralf Reski (@reskilab.bsky.social) would invest in moss bioreactors to produce biopharmaceuticals. Using moss as a scalable platform, his vision focuses on manufacturing human proteins (such as factor H) for medical applications, combining plant biotechnology with drug production.

Registration for the 7th International Plant Protease Conference closes soon (Apr 1st)! If your research touches plant proteases (whether directly or just at the edges), don’t miss this meeting. We’re a small, supportive community and always happy to collaborate! www.plantprotease.org

Just had an interview with a journalist who was especially interested in our production of human collagen in moss bioreactors, which makes it a vegan collagen. I love #scicomm #Wisskomm The scientific story is here: link.springer.com/article/10.1...

I am saddened to learn that Ralph Quatrano has passed away. He was a great inspiration to many young moss researchers. We will miss him. engineering.washu.edu/news/2026/Ra...
