Rosa Lozano-Durán (@geminiteamlab.bsky.social), one of the newly elected EMBO members 2025, has introduced her research at the @embo.org Members' Meeting in Heidelberg. We are so proud of you! #plantsci

😲 𝐧𝐞𝐰 𝐬𝐲𝐦𝐛𝐢𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐚𝐧! Female Japanese Dinidorid stinkbugs have a surprise: a newly discovered symbiotic organ. Inside, they grow fungi that they rub onto their eggs, forming a protective blanket that shields the clutch from parasitic wasps 🪲🐝 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

🚨 SPECIAL ISSUE - CLOSING SOON 🚨 🌿 Plant Proteostasis 🌿 📝 Edited by Pablo Manavella & Catharina Merchante 📅 Deadline: 30 November 2025 📄 Manuscripts welcomed, please contact us 👉 bit.ly/JXBissues #JXBspecialissues #PlantScience 🧪 @sebiology.bsky.social @kmerchante.bsky.social

People are thinking about what is not happening almost as often as they are thinking about what is. Doing so typically makes them unhappy. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Splicing was discovered in adenoviruses, but was thought to be only anecdotal in plant viruses... We may need to revisit plant viral transcriptomes and proteomes!

How do geminiviruses maximize their limited coding capacity? Our recent preprint uncovers splicing of viral transcripts as one more strategy used by this viral family. We show that RNA splicing is prevalent in the geminivirus TYLCV — and required for infectivity! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

I had the incredible luck of attending the seminar that Jane Goodall gave in Malaga this spring. She truly knew how to communicate science and how to engage people. Her passion was contagious. RIP. 🩷🐒 Jane Goodall’s legacy: three ways she changed science www.nature.com/articles/d41...

RIP Jane Goodall. She was such an inspiration & role model. May her memory be a blessing 🧪👩‍🔬 #HPS

Con profunda tristeza, lamentamos compartir que nuestra querida fundadora, la Dra. Jane Goodall, ha fallecido por causas naturales hoy, a los 91 años de edad, en California, donde se encontraba en gira por los Estados Unidos.

Hoy ha sido el #DíaMundialDeLaTraducción, así que debemos felicitar a quien mejor lo está haciendo... desde hace unos 3.800 millones de años: el #ribosoma.

I'm making a collage of Arabidopsis habitats for a seminar. If you have photos to share, such as these iconic ones from @mexpositoalonso.bsky.social & @coevolution.bsky.social, please send to [email protected]. Please let me also know how to attribute them. 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Storytellers have a fitness advantage. This study on the Agta – a Filipino hunter-gatherer population – found that skilled storytellers have increased reproductive success relative to unskilled storytellers, with an average additional 0.5 living offspring. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Delicious coffee that came with the wishes for a “great and successful day” 😍 it will be! (hopefully full of writing) 💪

🚀 Today we're launching the 'Night Science Institute', a non-for-profit organization to lead a cultural shift in science! You may say we're dreamers 😉, but we think we're not the only ones. Perhaps today you will join us to make the Day Science and Night Science parts of the process live as one!

Editor-in-Chief Pablo Manavella kicks off the inaugural The Plant Cell Symposium at #PlantBio2025, bringing the journal closer to authors. Meet editors, learn about the editorial process, and discover more about the journal run by your peers. @aspbofficial.bsky.social #plantscience

Two of my favorite @Editors in Chief, Yunde Zhao @plantphys.bsky.social & Pablo Manavella @theplantcell.bsky.social at #PlantBio2025. They are very approachable and would love to hear about your research. Publishing in ASPB journals helps fund all our activities: education, outreach, travel awards

Do animals living in the midnight zone and below have a 24 hr circadian rhythm? It's so dark down there all the time and the temperature doesn't fluctuate diurnally, so I guess no?

I’m sure it will be a great talk! The work and science behind are amazing 🌱🦠

Love this: “I think the most important thing is to love what you do (…). The same holds with collaborators, work with people you have an affinity with. And don´t be afraid to ask for advice. People are (almost) universally happy to give it, and there is certainly wisdom in crowds!”

Have you ever wondered why virus-infected plants twist, curl, yellow, and/or stop growing? We did—you can read what we found in our latest review: www.annualreviews.org/content/jour... @gmvalora.bsky.social @annualreviews.bsky.social

This is how to have difficult conversations with vaccine sceptics

Thank you @hee-kyung-ahn.bsky.social !! 🥹🥰

The 30th Translation UK has begun! We are excited to welcome all our attendees for an amazing few days in Edinburgh #TLUK25

Congratulations, Rosa! @geminiteamlab.bsky.social You are amazing ❤️

The 2026 edition of the Postranscriptional Gene Regulation in Plants (PGRP2026) meeting will take place in Málaga (Spain) 🗓️ 30 Sept-2 Oct 2026 We’ve generated the @pgrp2026.bsky.social account to announce info regarding the meeting We’ll be updating it soon! 🤩

“Our brains, capable of sophisticated communication through the most complex language on Earth, are an evolutionary miracle—one that has seemingly happened just once. Why would we seek to jettison our superpower? Turning language over to machines is the equivalent of a bird clipping its own wings”

Closing Keynote: Jiri Friml: Let’s talk about auxin signaling- what we know after all of these years (1972-now) and what we don’t, the canonical model is very good and has room for exploring roles in root growth and tropism #icar2025

Reunited! 🥰🥰🥰 @jbrumos.bsky.social @alonsostepanovalab.bsky.social #ICAR2025
