I’ve never seen it put so succinctly before! Even as a disabled person myself, I struggle a lot with internalized ableism. These 12 all two common narratives about disability can be difficult to unlearn, but that work is important. (Created by Jamie Shields, founder of Disabled By Society.)

Today marks the launch of "Build A Plant"—Joyce G. Onyenedum's new educational video series on plant anatomy! Whether you're a student, instructor, or plant scientist, this free resource is for you. Watch the first 4 episodes here: youtube.com/@joyceonyene... #BuildAPlant #NYCBotany

Die Uni Kassel darf, dank der Landesegierung, nicht mehr "Schüler:innen" schreiben. Die Uni Kassel zeigt sich kreativ und ersetzt nun jedes Mal "Schüler:innen" mit "Schülerinnen, Schüler, nicht-binäre Lernende an Schulen sowie solche, die sich keiner geschlechtlichen Kategorie zuordnen möchten." 😅👍

Thank you, Jan Grau #bioinformatics for giving a wonderful seminar in our #RTG2467 @unihalle.bsky.social about prediction of transcription factor binding to DNA. 👍🧬🧪 Also for taking your time to talk with our students about science, career and life! #Academicsky

🌱 When a root cell undergoes symmetric division, are the daughter cells actually identical? By combining live-cell imaging and scRNAseq we discovered a new cell state with uneven BR activity. Read our full paper in Cell: doi.org/10.1016/j.ce... @nvukas.bsky.social @trevormnolan.bsky.social

On this International Women’s ♀️ Day, we celebrate the diverse talented women who support #structuralbiology resources, such as: 🧪 PDBe & AlphaFoldDB 🧪 EMDB 🧪 EMPIAR Leaders & more... Let's meet some of them! 🧵 (1 of 16) #InternationalWomensDay #WomenInTech #WomenInScience

I am happy to share my last #InBrief. I thoroughly enjoyed being an assistant feature editor for @theplantcell.bsky.social the last two years. I am very grateful for the opportunity which I would highly recommend to all ECRs that like to write. Special thanks to Nan Eckardt for all her support!

Veena Veena from Danforth explaining transgenic pipelines. "Very exciting times to be [in this field] 1. Try different promoters with your CRISPR/Cas9. 2. Less than 10% agro transformations contain intact T-DNA. 3. Industry need many, many events to create a suitable product.

I will be presenting a poster at the Mosbacher Kolloquium on my work as part of the CRC1664 #SNP2Prot and I'm very excited for some amazing presentations and conversations. See you there!

Let's put faces to the name 😀 We are #SNP2Prot

And it is a wrap! Now we know each other a bit better, have elected our representatives and can continue this journey together. Thanks @dfg.de for enabling all this!

Great talk from Timo Mühlhaus from DataPlant @nfdi4plants.bsky.social at our #snp2prot Kick-off Event about Research data Management #rdm and FAIR principles!

Go proteases! Christian and Alex did a brilliant work explaining our #snp2prot project. #proudPI

We start the second day of our kick-off by listening to the students presenting the projects related to signaling

I totally agree!

Let’s kick off this kick-off! Today and tomorrow we are meeting at the @ipbhalle.bsky.social to officially start the #snp2prot journey as a team 💪

Very happy to be part of this cool story showing that LUC7 proteins define two major classes of 5’SS in animals and plants! Thanks, Chris @daspliceisright.bsky.social and Connor, for reaching out to us!

We had the most stimulating visit at the @ipbhalle.bsky.social today by @dinglab.bsky.social who presented a wonderful story on molecular evolution and engineering for crop protection. Thanks for sharing your experiences and for your suggestions! And thank @jleevonipb.bsky.social for inviting him.
