📣📣Paper alert! Excited to share a new paper @pnas.org from the Tsiantis lab @mpipz.bsky.social and colleagues on how enhancer evolution shapes leaf diversity. 🌱🌿Congratulations! 👏🥳 Read more 👉 bit.ly/4583PdR #plantsci #evolution www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Registrations are open for PADiBa2026!

Happy to share the third chapter of my postdoctoral adventure at @mpipz.bsky.social ➡️doi.org/10.64898/2026.04.20.719616 We used C. chenopodiifolia's ability to produce explosive aerial fruit and non-explosive underground fruit to identify REVOLUTA's role in cell fate and wall patterning🌿💥 ⬇️🧵

Our Review "Development, Anatomy and Integrated Function of Grass Leaf Veins and Graminoid Stomata" is out doi.org/10.1146/annu... Alec Baird and I discuss the development and function of the anatomical structures that regulate water supply (leaf veins) and water demand (stomata) in the grass leaf.

Congratulations! Nine young researchers from #unibern receive @snf-fns.ch Starting Grants. Projects from a variety of disciplines will be funded with over 15 million Swiss francs. Find out more: mediarelations.unibe.ch/media_releas... #Research #Innovation #SNSF

Great opportunity for Early Career Researchers - Utrecht PhD Summer School 2026! eps.sites.uu.nl

The BM^2 Lab is hiring a Ph.D. student to work on a variety of problems connected to modeling of morphogenesis in plants (i.e. ovule curvature formation, fixed handedness establishment in certain plant organs and its link to cell wall mechanics). Please share!

I am beyond thrilled (like the screaming and jumping type of thrilled) that my SNSF Starting Grant was funded. I will start my own lab @unibe.ch next year, studying succulent anatomy development and if and how this anatomy is required for efficient CAM photosynthesis in different Kalanchoë species 🌱

We have an open Post Doc position in plant-volatile interactions, starting April 2026. Ideal if you love to use molecular tools to understand the natural world and improve agriculture. Interested? Send your CV, grades, motivation letter and refs (single pdf!) to [email protected]. Please share.

During my PhD, I realized the hardest moments weren’t the work itself, but the psychological challenges. We see lots of productivity tips, but PhD students aren’t machines - they're complex human beings. 🫂 Glad to see well-being in @nature.com 'career column 🍀 www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Our paper comparing stomata of the three annual Brachypodium species is out 🌾 bmcplantbiol.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.... A great collaborative effort between @lbmountain.bsky.social, & our friends at University of Silesia (Alexander Betekhtin and Anna Milewska-Hendel). Funded by @dfg.de and NAWA
