Honored and humbled to receive the Ferdows Foundation Award for Best Oral Presentation at the ASPB Mid-Atlantic Section Meeting. Truly at a loss for words—grateful for this recognition and for everyone who supported this work. #ASPB2026 #Midatlanticsection #ASPB

Excited and honored to attend #PAG33 as an invited speaker! I’ll be sharing our work on maize leaf surface RNAs and asking how tRFs and rRFs may shape plant–microbe interactions. Looking forward to connecting and exchanging ideas !!

Have you ever wondered how we isolated the RNAs coating Arabidopsis leaf surfaces? Our new JoVE paper shows the step-by-step protocol + video for isolating leaf surface & apoplastic RNAs! 🎥 Watch the full method here: app.jove.com/v/68406/a-st... #PlantBiology #exRNA #Arabidopsis #InnesLab

Spotted myself and Dr. Roger Innes in the promo for #PlantBio2026 — and it genuinely made me smile. Feeling thankful to be part of a global community that brings plant scientists together to share, learn, and grow. #PlantScience #ASPB #CSPBSCBV

Did you know there are various types of RNAs on leaf surfaces of corn plants grown in the field? The host RNAs are secreted on the leaf surface and they coexist with the microbiome. @rnasociety.bsky.social #RNA30 #RNA #exRNA Poster number: 025

Excited to attend the 30th RNA biology conference, San Diego. As a plant biologist it would be interesting to learn about new technologies in the RNA world and also share our work on maize extracellular RNAs #RNASociety @rnasociety.bsky.social #exRNA

Congratulations Dr. Jones 💐💐

What an outstanding study! This majorly expands our understanding by showing that glycosylated RBPs are not only present but also organized into specialized clusters. New avenues for cellular communication and therapeutic delivery strategies! Many congratulations @raflynn5.bsky.social and team.

Scientists never off duty #layover #reviewing #ResearchArticle. Long layover plan? Accept to review a research article 😀

Did you know there are RNAs on leaf surface and are stable? Do check out our new publication which shares an amazing science and opens new avenues to explore more 😊. New year New hopes New enthusiasm 🎉 www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Very happy to start the new year with publication of our new work on leaf surface RNA. Plant leaves secrete diverse RNAs that are surprisingly stable on their surfaces. Next question to answer: What do they do? www.pnas.org/doi/epub/10....
