I was in a meeting where we talked about summer projects for undergraduates interested in plant science, & someone shared this link 💚 @apaterlini.bsky.social Some deadlines are as early as January, so pass this on to those who might be interested! www.plantsciencefutures.org.uk/work-experie...

Still a lot to discover! I wrote a short piece on flowering for @the-node.bsky.social 🌺⏳ Thanks @turchil.bsky.social for the editing and @hsuanpai.bsky.social for the artwork 🤩🎨

New research reveals mechanisms underlying the decades-old mystery behind flowering 🌸🌺 In this post, Vangeli Geshkovski (@vgeshkovski.bsky.social) shows there are still exciting discoveries to be made in the fields of flowering and floral development! Post: thenode.biologists.com/new-developm...

The best part of preparing a digram is testing the colour scheme!

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.

First post on the Node and first attempt at summarising a paper that is not about plants! 😱 Super cool paper, had fun writing my summary 📝

Busy week for TSL Ventures! First Damien Caubrière and Sasha Eremina joined the #WorldAgriTech Innovation Summit in London, then innovation came to Norwich for Norwich Research Park's #PosterShowcaseEvent. Huge thanks to everyone for making Norwich a centre of excellence in agritech! 🌱🚀

Yesterday, @vgeshkovski.bsky.social and I were thrilled to officially introduce ourselves to @thesainsburylab.bsky.social 😎🔥 Food pictures were a highlight as usual 🍽️🍝

Ago will forever remind me of the most unhinged review title I’ve ever seen

I'm really looking forward to visiting Norwich again and sharing my perspective on why plants are the most amazing and important organisms in the universe! 🌱💚

Cool program alert! "The P2P Program is a 1-year training program for people interested in pivoting to a career in plant science, imaging, data science, etc, but have limited research experience. It enables adults with at least an associate's degree to upskill in emerging technologies & methods" 🧪🌱

TSL's great fun day out

Thrilled to share our new bioRxiv preprint!✨ Huge credit to first author Yujin Chen and thanks to all co-authors. Extra special: my first paper as co-corresponding author (with Lieve Gheysen). Check how nematodes uncouple FLS2–BSK signalling in 🌱👇 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Honest question: is there a point in learning to write in 2025, when everyone uses AI? Asking for a friend

Get your questions ready for Samantha Dobbie, Caroline Durbin and @drannagardner on our science communication panel at New Phytologist next generation scientists, today at 16:30 BST (UTC+1)! Join us online: www.newphytologist.org/nextgenevent... #scicomm #plantscience

We are thrilled to share that our scientists joined the opening of Future of Food, a new free exhibition held @sciencemuseum.org.uk about how food must change to protect the planet 🌍 Resistant potatoes developed in Jonathan Jones's group are an integral part of the exhibition 🥔 buff.ly/slKlOSy

Anyone brought their kids to conferences? Any conferences that have on-site childcare? Finally got data to present for next year, but I'll also have 3 x 3-and-under 🤪

Interested in learning more about range-wide variation in floral traits in #Mimulus cardinalis? Join me in Mesquite C (Phytochemical section) at 9:15am this morning (Tuesday) to find out!

Human scientists anticipate human reviewers will use machines, so they put tiny white text to prompt machines to give positive reviews. I’m not even angry, I’m impressed www.nature.com/articles/d41... Scientists hide messages in papers to game AI peer review

Hot off the printer! Our lab will be introducing PHYTOMap to the MPMI community. Interested in spatially mapping both microbiomes and plant gene expression? Come see our posters at #2025ISMPMI P-315 by @siyusong.bsky.social P-441 by @hsuanpai.bsky.social

Many comments mentioned plants already, so I want to add something that's not really fluorescent but cool - plants are amazing to look at (anytime but) under polarized light or DIC, almost fluorescent like. 🧪🔬🌱Some super neat examples: www.canadiannaturephotographer.com/microscopicp...
