New preprint! SOSEKI polarity proteins are mechanoresponsive integrators linking growth and tissue mechanics during lateral root formation. Their polarity marks growth boundaries and reorganises in response to mechanical alterations —reshaping how we think about axis formation. tinyurl.com/28p7af2w

Earlier this morning, President Trump threatened me and a group of service and veteran Members of Congress with arrest, trial, and death by hanging. Here’s my response:

Harvard redid its whole homepage to push back against the administration’s demands. I mean, this is just a website but I think it’s kind of a great PR move: www.harvard.edu

Wie Paris durch seine Verkehrspolitik, die Feinstaub- und NO2-Belastung v.a. seit Amtsantritt von Anne Hidalgo ab 2014 verringern und so zehntausenden Menschen ein längeres Leben schenken konnte, ist eine so krasse Erfolgsgeschichte, die gar nicht oft genug erzählt werden kann❤️
