Announcing the Botany 2025 Annals of Botany Lecturer, Marcelo A. Aizen, whose research has shaped modern understanding of pollination’s impact on conservation and agriculture. www.botanyconference.org/speakers.html Abstract submission is now open through April 14! #Botany2025 #IamaBotanist

I’ve just learned the meaning of the concept “spaghettification”, which is related to what would happen to an individual when getting too close to a black hole… Definitely the adjective awesome should only be applied to this sort of stuff. Further info here: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spaghet...

We are looking for a postdoc in #EvolutionarySystemsBiology. Exciting science, amazing team, wonderful city! landrylab.ibis.ulaval.ca/research-opp... #evolution #synbio #systemsbiology #genomics

For annual mustard lovers. Kudos @bsbibotany.bsky.social

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers. This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

What limits rubisco function? Is it the chemical mechanism? Evolution? In this paper, @prywes.bsky.social et. al explore this question by assaying >99% of single amino acid mutants in Form II rubisco (1/7) doi.org/10.1038/s415...

Our first paper on natural variation in root exudate composition in wild #Arabidopsis. This represents a turning point in the way we characterize and understand phenotypic traits with implications beyond the plant itself @newphyt.bsky.social nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Primer congreso del año, en este caso el ya antológico Seminario de Genética de Poblaciones y Evolución (XXIV ed.) en Mazagón (14-17 enero 2025). Siempre un acierto

You’ve probably heard that trees share resources through an underground network of fungi—that story is everywhere. But it is not supported by much evidence, & scientists are walking back early claims. Here, I ask why there is so much resistance to changing the story 🧪 #PlantScience #SciComm
