Time for some #MidweekMotivation as the John Innes Centre host the first annual Centre for Microbial Interactions conference today! 🦠 #CMINorwich25

Great to welcome Clarissa de Bekker to #CMINorwich25 - fascinating fungal-insect-plant interactions

I was quite confident on my knowledge of marine biodiversity in my area (I have a PhD in marine biology after all). But today I learn about Paromola cuvieri, one of the largest crab species of the Northeast Atlantic, that uses its last pair of legs to carry live specimens of sponges and corals 🦑 🌊

Fifty-one teens lived on a 28-hour sleep/wake cycle for a week. Both the body’s internal clock and the behavioral sleep/wake cycle affected food intake, and overweight status was linked with late-day caloric intake. In PNAS: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Posted minutes after the Commander of the ISS said Musk lied about the stranded astronauts in his Fox interview with Trump.

Fairy lanterns (genus Thismia) are SO WEIRD! Their snake-like flowers sneak about the rainforest floor, sometimes appearing once, never to be recorded again. These plants are leafless parasites that steal all their nutrients from fungi. 📷: my colleague Siti Munirah in Malaysia.

“ERC succeeds because it’s different. Its simple, tailored procedures allow Europe’s best researchers to thrive. Bureaucratic processes designed for other programmes should not be imposed on it.” @marialep.bsky.social spoke up for an independent ERC with a doubled budget today @europarl.europa.eu

POSTDOC POSITION AVAILABLE, UV-B Perception and Signalling, Geneva, Switzerland. Deadline approaching: 24.02.2025

A curious, modest man with an encyclopaedic knowledge. No ego but a quiet self-confidence that inspired many. No doubt many publications in the coming years will report innovative ideas that he thought of decades ago….

Superb obituary of John Raven

I really appreciate the continuous improvement in my relationship with chickpeas.

RNA from herbarium specimens is more stable than you think. Cool new study from @atyszka.org @evojfwalker.bsky.social and team. @khongsamchia.bsky.social and I were happy to contribute by functionally validating an NLR immune receptor last expressed in 1956 : www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Todays thought. Why do some people write emails using such weird (and sometimes tiny) fonts?

Delighted to unveil the poster and speakers list of the Mechanism of Plant Development meeting. 2 keynotes by @bradylabs.bsky.social & @nikogeldner.bsky.social to honour the legacy of P. Benfey & J. Chory. Congrats to @minyaaa.bsky.social for her beautiful Mimulus image. ➡️ tinyurl.com/24fsjq6a

Come visit us in the Forum tomorrow for the Norwich Science Festival ! 🪩🎉 You'll learn all about the pesky diseases affecting our favourite crops and there'll be loads of scratch cards and games 🥳 🎲🍅🫛

An admirable and principled decision (not surprisingly). @royalsociety.org really need to stand up and show their support for scientists under attack from #ElonMusk.
