The NSF BIO Plant Biology Act (H.R.7949) would strengthen investments in plant and microbial research—helping drive innovation and protect U.S. agriculture. Learn why it matters and how to take action 👉 buff.ly/xRu6Eqz #PlantScience #SciencePolicy

🌱💚🎉 Sharing (again 😁) my review on regulation of chloroplast biogenesis. First work of my emerging research group at @cbgpmadrid.bsky.social

Very sad to see colleagues here at IU targeted by the FBI for what appears to be, at worst, the scientific equivalent of jaywalking. Reading the article, it’s clear the government’s response is driven by ignorance, xenophobia, retribution or some combo of the 3. #PlantSky #AcademicSky #research

Exciting news from the IU Biology Greenhouse! Wally, our corpse flower (Amorphophallus titanum), is officially preparing to bloom! 🪴🌸 🎥You can watch the livestream: go.iu.edu/8tM8 📷: Jessica L. Hooten, Department of Biology

I helped launch and run a startup commercializing technology that could identify the fields where more fertilizer wouldn't increase crop productivity and save farmers money. SBIR funding from NSF is how we made the leap from concept to product and acquisition.

Pretty cool to see @alizeemalnoe.bsky.social get profiled by the Indiana Daily Student! @iubiology.bsky.social @idsnews.bsky.social #plantsky #PlantScience

Thanks @standupforscience.bsky.social for organizing! @nytimes.com please report on this, the public deserves to understand how decreasing DEIA and funding in Science will impact them. Thanks @nature.com for live reporting! @goodtroublein.bsky.social @indivisible.org @iubiology.bsky.social

I'm incredibly proud of the work the broad plant science community has done through the ROOT&SHOOT initiative. Given its nature, our future funding is uncertain. Please give us a boost by sharing this announcement and joining us for the event, we'd love to have a big turnout. Thanks! 💚 #PlantSci

An ode to the door stops which were kindly returned to the 3rd floor of Myers Hall: Hello door stop, my old friend I can walk through doors again Lab equipment softly beeping Arabidopsis seeds in tubes sleeping And the fume hoods which vent out some methane Still remain Within the sound of science
