We have great news!🎉 @csic.es researcher at CRAG Julia Qüesta (@jiquesta.bsky.social) has been awarded a prestigious ERC Consolidator Grant @erc.europa.eu for #tuneCHILL, a project that will uncover how plants respond to cold to help develop climate-smart, more resilient crops. 🌱❄️

Call for papers! To celebrate the upcoming edition of the Chromatin and Transcription: FLC and beyond II meeting in Madrid, I am co-editing with the great @jiquesta.bsky.social and Prof Zhe Wu from @sustech.bsky.social a Research topic for @frontiersin.bsky.social Plant Science (1/n)...

Already one week in China! 🇨🇳 What an incredible experience so far. Only Hefei (thanks Minglei Yang for hosting me here) for now, but next week I start visiting many Friends around the country :) Really excited!

Yesterday, @yiliangding.bsky.social blew everyone’s minds with her research and development on foundation models to study RNA in plants. This represents the future of research for everyone, even if you haven't realised it yet. And no, plants aren't always behind...

Just dropping this here in case anyone is interested in joining 🙃

PAPER - There are still unknowns in understanding of auxin/IAA metabolism and its interactions with other pathways. The groups of Karin Ljung and @emateobonmati.bsky.social developed a strategy to identify new IAA mutants. Read more in @pplplantarum.bsky.social: doi.org/10.1111/ppl....

Strange vibes coming back to the same stage where I defended my PhD to give a seminar. It was really nice to see so many familiar faces and remember good moments Thanks Jose Manuel for the invitation and the stimulating discussions!

🧪👩‍🔬🌾🔬⚖️Happy International Day for Girls and Women in Science! @umeaplantscicentre.bsky.social has achieved a gender balance of about 50% but the work to create a more diverse, inclusive and equitable environment continues. Read more here: www.upsc.se/about-upsc/n... #WomenInScience

Last Wednesday I had the wonderful opportunity to share with the outstanding students at the University of Heidelberg (Master in Molecular and Applied Plant Sciences) my experiences and adventures as a scientist in Europe thanks to their wonderful program #LifeofP.I. @cbgpmadrid.bsky.social

Recently defended your PhD? (Jan-2023-Dec-2024) Are you interested in fundamental questions about transcription and chromatin? If you want to apply for a postdoc contract (JdC) to join my group in the @cbgpmadrid.bsky.social, a Severo Ochoa (seal of excellence) centre in Madrid (1/2)

congrats @jiquesta.bsky.social

International Conference on Arabidopsis Research: ICAR2025 at Ghent Belgium. It cost 700 Euro Registration fee. Really??. It is becoming impossible for the Global South scientists to attend. See our article together with @gabyplantbio.bsky.social and others pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39278888/

I am delighted to share that my application to join the PIFI Visiting Scientist Program from the Chinese Academy of Sciences has been selected. Next year, I will be visiting my colleague Minglei Yang in China to exchange knowledge and build new fruitful collabs! @cbgpmadrid.bsky.social
