Human organisations are like biological networks: there are enzymes, activators and repressors. The enzymes are the people who do stuff. Activating interactions motivate and inspire them. Repressing interactions create friction, bureaucracy, etc. Roles or processes that create friction tend ... 1/2

W1 Tenure-Track Professor for Plant Biochemistry. Tübingen, Germany. #plantscijobs #plantscijob uni-tuebingen.de/fakultaeten/...

I am thrilled &honoured, what a journey that was! Only possible with the great support from family, all lab members, friends, current @unicologne.bsky.social / @ceplas.bsky.social & former colleagues & mentors. With this project, we will do all that we can to help protect plants from diseases (1/2)

Six years ago, I started at the MPIPZ with a head full of ideas. What a journey. I’m thrilled to share that, from Jan 2026, I will be moving to Zurich as a chaired associate professor at the University of Zurich. A new chapter, and plenty of roots still to grow. Can’t wait for the adventure ahead!

First up: understanding how plants defend themselves against heat stress. Our recent Science Advances paper shows that the meiotic cyclin TAM localizes to stress granules—special biomolecular condensates—during meiosis.

Thrilled to have our spatial single-cell atlas of the Arabidopsis lifecycle in @NaturePlants. Turns out that its easy to make nice images when spatial expression of 1,000 genes is available! 1/n @natanellae.bsky.social @tatsuyanobori.bsky.social @joeecker.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...
