Woohoo! 🎉 Our preprint is out! We studied an underexplored plant enzyme, ACC oxidase, and uncovered a new regulatory mechanism that controls ethylene biosynthesis. Huge thanks to all co-authors and to my amazing supervisors, Dr Ivanhoe Leung and @hikemaydon.bsky.social!🙌🌱

📢 Issue 22, our final issue of 2025, is out now 📢 🌾 On the cover: Heterosis has been shown to increase seed yield, produce bigger seeds, reduce germination time and make seeds more tolerant/resistant. See Belcapo et al. 📝 🔗👉 Read the full issue now: academic.oup.com/jxb... #PlantScience 🧪

I’m very excited to share that I have been awarded an ERC Consolidator Grant! @erc.europa.eu I’m deeply grateful to all current and former lab members, collaborators, mentors, and colleagues for their support. Looking forward to this exciting new chapter! #ERCCoG

Presented my single cell omics analysis work at the @asps-oz.bsky.social 2025 conference in beautiful Adelaide, Australia. Also happy to have co-chaired the ''new tech and AI" session with David Kainer. Research made in @lewseylab.bsky.social Thanks ASPS for the travel grant award.

Thank you Bao Yanran (BGI Group) for this opportunity to share my ICG-20 experience. The conference provided an invaluable platform to present my research and connect with brilliant scientists and leaders from China and around the globe. 非常感谢鲍嫣燃给我这次分享ICG-20会议经历的宝贵机会。 www.youtube.com/watch?v=tTml...

My poster at ICG-20 (Hangzhou, China) won a prize and earned a 15-minute talk slot on the final day, where I presented my research on integrative single-cell, multiomics, and spatial transcriptomics analysis during seed germination. 1/3

Seems that geneticists realised very early on (soon after the ‘rediscovery’ of Mendel in 1900) that Mendel’s data collection violated some fundamental principles of statistical experimental design. This led to Fisher’s famous criticism of Mendel’s results as ‘too good to be true’.
