A real privilege to have Claudia Martinho (University of Dundee ) at our university @kent.ac.uk sharing the research of her group on paramutation in crops! @cssmartinho.bsky.social

Super proud of this new paper! Thanks @lizalvey.bsky.social, @apaterlini.bsky.social @katharinehubbard.bsky.social for embarking us on this journey. It is one of the most collaborative papers I have been involved in and I hope that serves as reference for education in plant science @kent.ac.uk

We welcome today Elise, that secured a Stacey summer studentship at @kent.ac.uk She will test seaweed as alternative to chemical fertilisers, a project in collaboration with Nutrisan. Welcome Elise! #sustainable #agriculture #plantbiology #newPI

Huge congratulations to plant science colleagues Julian Hibberd, Phil Poole, Wenbo Ma, Miltos Tsiantis & Jenny McElwain on election to the Royal Society 👏

Congratulations Julian! @jmhibberd.bsky.social

Full house at #Brithop day here at @kent.ac.uk Looking forward to discuss about beer and hops! 🍻

Excited to be part of the team @theplantcell.bsky.social

Our group is growing! We are looking for a self funded #masterbstudebt interested in sustainable agriculture! More info below Deadline 30 may Application here (not direct applications for a fair process) www.kent.ac.uk/courses/post... Full description blogs.kent.ac.uk/biosciences/...

A great day for MENDELorians! rdcu.be/ei4ad, such a line-up of terrific geneticists there too. #PlantScience

New genomic & genetic insights into Mendel’s pea genes, including previously uncharacterised alleles 159 years after Mendel published his work, this is a real delight (especially for a geneticist) 🧪 @nature.com www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Moving towards a more #sustainable agriculture In my group we are testing #seaweed as an alternative to chemical fertilisers in collaboration with Nutrisan. Stay tuned for opportunities to join our group on this project!

Join our lab in @kent.ac.uk Paid summer #studentship for #BAME students to study #seaweed as biostimulant in #crops Application: blackinplantscience.org/2025/01/17/b...

A PhD position is available in my group @_SLU. Come join us in Uppsala, Sweden to work on plant regeneration and graft hybrid formation! Details below. Please share! #plantscijobs #PlantScience

Wonderful paper by @mattbnt.bsky.social

Quynh #ISPF fellow from @BritishCouncil presenting her research on Centella asiática and madecassic acid production to develop antitumoral drugs at @kent.ac.uk

Today, we recognize and celebrate women in research, innovation, and discovery👩‍🔬👩‍💻👩‍🚀 Despite progress, gender gaps in STEM persist. It’s crucial to empower girls in science, ensuring equal opportunities, Who are the women that inspire you? tag them below! 👇#WomenInScience #STEM

#PlantSciEd Now we are hearing about a citizen science project from Silvia Manrique, @[email protected]. Studying crosstalk between reproduction and environmental stress in eggplant, the "LeMa" project (length matters). Teachers and students grew eggplant in various conditions.

#PlantSciEd meeting 7-8 Jan: raising the profile of #plantscience, helping build a community of plant educators who can prepare the next generation of plant biologists for the global challenges ahead. See posts from @plantteaching.bsky.social‬ for live reporting and links to education resources

Quynh Nguyen is an #ISPF fellow funded by @British Council that will be working on developing biotechnological approaches in #centella asiatica to increase the content of anti #cancer molecules! #plantscience Quynh, welcome to @universityofkent.bsky.social 🌱🌱

1. I feel like this is such obvious advice that it gets taken for granted & consequently no one says this to young scientists but READ PAPERS, read all the papers. As you move up in your career you will have less & less time to do this. Read everything that appeals to you not just in your field

Who says that science is boring? Great activity with BioSoc at @universityofkent.bsky.social . Student were unleashing their creativity while using their lab skills plating fluorescent bacteria!

Now hiring: Are you a technician? Do you enjoy the lab? Plants 🌱? DNA 🧬? Microscopes 🔬? We are looking for you! We are looking for a Biological Technical Assistant for the new molecular botany lab at @rwth.bsky.social Aachen. Please apply! www.biologie.rwth-aachen.de/cms/biologie...

I have a YouTube playlist (10 videos) for #MolecularBiology for my undergrad interns in the lab. www.youtube.com/playlist?lis... I usually have my interns watch these videos to get introduced to the basic concepts before I go show them how to in the lab.

Excited to be in Oxford! Nice dinner with @carmen-agro.bsky.social @tinaschreier.bsky.social and Isidro. Looking forward to meeting the rest of the @oxfordbiology.bsky.social tomorrow! @universityofkent.bsky.social

Plant Biology People - have you registered for our January education focussed event yet? Lancaster (UK) Jan 7-8th, in person or online. You’ve got until Dec 12th to register for what is shaping up to be a fab meeting! #PlantScience #PlantBiology web.cvent.com/event/a17159...
