More and more of my colleagues are finally starting to realize what we knew: Reforms are not enough. We must MELT ICE and dismantle DHS.

the congresswoman should have a lot more followers on here! please follow and share.

I just want to shout out @somssich.bsky.social for making the lovely set of #PlantScience feeds––I think he's one of the reasons we have such good engagement in our particular 🌱community here.

How state transitions balance photosynthetic electron transport in plants – a quantitative study 📖 nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... by Hoochak et al. @WIleyPlantSci #PlantScience

Lake forever, problems for now

Remember if you watch this show or buy this merch, no trans person will like or trust you ever again. Sorry but those are the rules.

THIS. Life is only hard for trans/queer kids because bigots MAKE it hard. You accept your kid, fight for them, and you'll make it BETTER.

So much love for the #grass in the #BadBunny half time show––brings joy to my #PlantNerd heart! 💚 #PlantAwareness 💚

I am quite sure that thie special issue could be relevant to quite a few in my circles here on BSky.

Chicago, when?

Is there a hashtag for "This is well-written ALT text and we can all learn from and enjoy it"?

Plants use cell-surface and intracellular receptors that collaborate to detect pathogens🦠. We discovered that a key #ubiquitin recognition event recruits both receptor types into an unexpected dual receptor complex that boost the translation of defence proteins and establishes robust #PlantImmunity👇🏾

🌱Wild barley handles drought better for a reason Pan et al. identifies an 8-bp promoter deletion in HvNF-YB7 that enhances drought-induced expression and strengthens glutathione-based ROS detoxification via HvGSTF13.1. https://bit.ly/4sMm96K ##PlantScience #Barley #Drought

Nikolas and I just published our insights on CLEs in plant–bio interactions. Too short to cover everything, but we hope it gets you also excited about these peptides. Thanks to @newphyt.bsky.social for the opportunity

Peaking in Pink. This morning's sunrise in Chicago.

Let’s have a moss break

journalists are workers who deserve to be paid fairly for our labor and I think that far too few consumers of media recognize or even care about this fact

Applications for our MSc programme Agrigenomics are now open! Are you interested in learning about genomics methods (molecular and computational) in the context of agricultural sciences (either on crops or animals), consider applying! www.uni-kiel.de/en/aef/study...

Good breakfast sandwich at Moodys Market—will this place kick the curse of this location, Chicago?

I wish I had a camera in the front to capture the bounding rat that made these tracks. #ChicagoRat

Me, tired, tapping the sign

Have you seen our gorgeous January issue, featuring #evolution, #systematics, #phylogenetics, and #ecology of #fish, #birds, and lots of #PlantScience in the Himalaya? onlinelibrary.wiley.com/toc/17596831... @wileyecology.bsky.social

Need something uplifting (OK, uplifted) for your Monday? Check out our new issue! #Evolution #Systematics

Stone cells impact pear #fruit quality, and their formation is complex and poorly understood. Xue et al. offer insights into MADS #gene-mediated stone cell formation & functional divergence within the SEP3 subfamily. doi.org/10.1111/jipb... @wileylifesci.bsky.social #PlantSci #OpenAccess

You get to pick up to six names Chicago, so here's a great option for your second choice!

I know that @frontiersin.bsky.social are trying hard to be taken seriously. But addressing the problems in the original figure (left) by a completely new set of panels (that also have problems; right) puts them straight back into predatory journal range. #ImageForensics #ScientificPublishing /

Americans will really use anything but the metric system (complimentary)

Another vat of soup from #Kapusta, this time the vegan borscht. Excellent, but will cut back the allspice next time.

Truly a great sandwich is one of the great things in life

Frogs make some wild-ass sounds!

Frog survey training! #CommunityScience 🐸🐸🐸

Please share! PhD position (4 years) available in my group @zmbp-tuebingen.bsky.social. We look for candidates with solid aptitude in computer science to cross disciplines and use cutting edge imaging to understand host infection by destructive plant pathogens. uni-tuebingen.de/universitaet...

I had intended to post something about this new Google DeepMind paper that appeared yesterday in Nature, but the press coverage has added to what there is to say. So this is a long 🧵 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Yes indeed––I just finished reading "Daughters of the Flower Fragrant Garden" and was struck by how much the anti-expertise sentiment parallels our current situation. Great book, writing is direct and story is moving. 📚 wwnorton.com/books/978132...

Have a look at our most recent preprint, where we looked at transcriptional regulation during tomato root colonization by Rhizophagus irregularis.

Holy cats where were they shopping in Chicago?
