Do you know who Douglas Prasher is? Many don't, even though he is the person who cloned the original #GFP gene in the late 1980s. In my short history of plant light #microscopy I also cover a bit of his story - & why he is relatively unknown today, despite the importance of his work. See this πŸ§΅πŸ‘‡

A position is available in my lab in Padova. Details on steinerlab.org. Feel free to share and happy holidays.
