Most wholesome paper I have ever worked on. Made me feel awesome about being part of this community.

The Vienna BioCenter Summer School 2026 call is open for talented undergrads, it's a great opportunity for students who are interested in graduate study in the life sciences. Tim Clausen from the IMP is recruiting! https://training.vbc.ac.at/summer-school/

Glad to have this finally published: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... lots of new data since the #preprint. If you are into selective #autophagy, #evolution, #proteostasis Please have a look!

Oh yessss! Very grateful to be working with such a wonderful and fierce team! It is not easy to pave the way through the protocol jungle. But I am so proud of every single piece of data our students already produced 🔬🧪🥼 @josejulian.bsky.social @bokuvienna.bsky.social i

The Clavel Group is recruiting a new postdoc for two possible projects dealing with plant-virus interactions and selective autophagy! More (wordy) details below ⬇️🌱🦠

Amoc collapse must be avoided “at all costs”. It would shift the tropical rainfall belt on which many millions of people rely to grow their food, plunge western Europe into extreme cold winters and summer droughts, and add 50cm to already rising sea levels.

Work-Life balance? As recently discussed with friends (I also work with), its often not about working less, but doing more of other things. Things we love. Things that give back! The other day I got to do a long #bike ride, and it gave me so much energy! #cycling #womenwhoshred #outdoor #worklife

I am recruiting - if you have a background in plant mol cell bio, a keen interest in sustainability and planetary health and are looking to move away from the bench, this may be for you! Have a 👀 and please reach out if Qs 1yr FTC, remote in the UK job-boards.eu.greenhouse.io/plos/jobs/46...

“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”

How did plants evolve how to sense oxygen? Recently unraveled in an extensive and elegant analysis by @lauradc.bsky.social @syno2xis.bsky.social ‪@n-end-rules.bsky.social‬ All land plant lineages induce glycolysis and fermentation, but the ERFVII evolved in vascular plants with roots #plantscience

I enjoyed reading this review. It puts the different known molecular modes of thermo sensing into well defined conceptual frameworks. Very useful! And the figures are also nice 🌱🌡️ www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

If you're waiting on a reply, a peer review, or other effort from me--please be patient. I urgently left to document a developing forest die-off event more intense than any I've seen. No obvious biotic agents, dead & dying include multiple Pinus & Juniperus, many Quercus, & shrubs. #WhatKillsTrees

As the world warms, plants in natural ecosystems and agricultural settings find ways to respond to the heat. In a new special issue of Science, researchers examine how heat affects plants at multiple scales, from the molecular level to the biosphere. scim.ag/44cSw3Z

This is a summary of our recent @jcellsci.bsky.social paper. If you've ever wondered why ATG9A has many and varied roles, we think it's because it is trafficked by a subset of a large, diverse family of vesicles - intracellular nanovesicles. doi.org/10.1242/jcs....

It‘s happening. The Gross Lab is setting up. I was so excited today unpacking all the brand new lab equipment. Can‘t wait to run the first experiments! #NewPI #plantscience #autophagy @bokuvienna.bsky.social

Very proud to have our paper on ATG9A in lysosome repair online. ATG9A never disappoints! Great work from the very talented @stedet.bsky.social and @ealmacellas.bsky.social 👍 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Hey Postdocs! This is an amazing opportunity

The new Vienna BioCenter Interdisciplinary Postdoctoral Program (VIP³) is here! We have 16 fully-funded positions for scientists with a PhD in biology, chemistry, physics, bioinformatics etc. The call opens on 1st June. More information: training.vbc.ac.at/post-docs/vi... #VBCPostDoc

POV you are the 4yo daughter of two scientists and when your parents ask you to do something you simply say „ I can‘t, I am in the middle of an experiment“ 😅

"The limited entry of aid into Gaza cannot be mistaken for meaningful progress," said one humanitarian expert. Gaza needs real, unfettered aid acess now. The lives of Palestinian children depend on it.
