Plant friends, anyone have luck with grinding tough (think, fibrous/lignin) tissue for molecular work using a mill/tissue grinder? If so can you share what you use? Liquid N2 works for us but takes a long time. 🧪🌾

Meet the #mbiosys25 Keynote Speakers: Prof. Dame Caroline Dean (John Innes Center) 🌿 A pioneer in plant biology, Prof. Dean's groundbreaking work on flowering time control & the epigenetic basis of vernalization has revolutionized our understanding of gene regulation. Don’t miss her at #mbiosys25!

Hi plant epigenetics fans! I have updated the Plant Epigenetics Starter Pack to include additional researchers in the field: @jacobsenucla.bsky.social @pecinka-grp.bsky.social @manavellalab.bsky.social Please let me know if you wish to be added to the Starter Pack! go.bsky.app/HyTwdc2

“The first people a dictator puts in jail after a coup are the writers, the teachers, the librarians —because these people are dangerous. They have enough vocabulary to recognize injustice and to speak out loudly about it. Let us have the courage to go on being dangerous people.” —Madeleine L’Engle

Holy shit. This is *the* gold-standard measurement of atmospheric CO2 -- the one in all the charts.

Another insightful webinar part of the wonderful @plantcellatlas.bsky.social Plant Cell Identity Webinar Series. This time @keikoutorii.bsky.social and @justinwwalley.bsky.social gave us a perfect ratio of biology and technology excitement! youtu.be/rE-JP2T0SoA?... #PlantScience #PlantPostdocs

We would love feedback on a new NCBI-BLAST service we are launching today: sky-blast.com Under the hood it's the same BLAST executable and databases provided by NCBI, with a replica of the NIH's interface - providing an alternative to the US gov service that's less congested, faster & more reliable

Still need a name for these… Ara-Roses?

🧪 Eggplant is a cool Solanaceae but there is very few molecular research on it because the plants are big and take a fairly long-time to flower. So if you ever thought: “I wish there was an eggplant version of Microtom”, here you have it! Congrats to my colleagues at #SOLbreedingLab at #COMAV-UPV 🍆🧪

To US colleagues who have lost or are in imminent danger of losing their jobs: please DM whether we can accommodate your research.

Figure skating world championships were considered to be for men only until 1902, when Madge Syers showed up and took home silver and the ISU went "whooooops guess we need to segregate them." It happened again in 1992 Olympic skeet shooting: Zhang Shan took gold and then they segregated the event.
