📣 Looking for a 3-Year Postdoc @johninnescentre.bsky.social to join my Wellcome project. This is a highly interdisciplinary project that explores chromatin dynamics in 🌱 plant responses across timescales, from circadian rhythms to seasonal changes 📅 Closes on 10 Dec. www.jic.ac.uk/vacancies/36...

I'm Norwich to give a talk tomorrow, but came a day early to give a writing workshop. Wonderful to catch up with Cathie Martin, who hired me in 2009 when she was EIC of @theplantcell.bsky.social. Thanks to @ciara-obrien.bsky.social for being a great host & other @plantaeofficial.bsky.social fellows.

📣The webinar recording is now available for viewing. Enjoy!🌱 plantae.org/plantaeprese... #plantscience

Has hypothesis driven research lost ground to big data? As data grows, often so do costs - how do we find balance? Join us on July 18th for a deep dive into one of the field’s most pressing questions with two leading experts: Ivan Baxter and @kamounlab.bsky.social 🌱💰

As part of the Sustainable Initiative of @biologists.bsky.social, we've designed the 'event carbon calculator' to support the creation of sustainable events. The tool is still in its beta stage. Please test it and let us know if you have any feedback! thenode.biologists.com/event-carbon...
