Got jump scared by my own flower samples on confocal

bamboo stem section magnified 100x

Absolutely blown away by Nick Desnoyer's seminar in our DOMPS series this morning. Great science and a exceptional master class in science communication 🌷🌹

🌱🍀🍃Calling all BOTANISTS–– we need your help to source micrographs to include in a plant anatomy video series! We are in search of light micrographs of: (1) LENTICELS & AERENCHYMA of mangrove trees (2) AN ACTINOSTELE in the ROOT of any plant Of course, you will be credited!

Congrats to Isabella Burda, Fridtjof Brauns, Frances Clark, and Chun-Biu Li on our paper showing spatial temporal averaging of heterogeneous growth. Robust organ size in Arabidopsis is primarily governed by cell growth rather than cell division patterns journals.biologists.com/dev/article-ab…

HUGE news!!!

Conservation of many TF binding sites between Marchantia and flowering plants, very cool work from Andrea Bräutigam et al!

Pollination drops from Gnetum ovule-bearing cones. I low key screamed when seeing this because it was incredibly beautiful! Hopefully this is a good sign for a good week.

Dressed in all black today, like attending a funeral.

Had the account for a while but perhaps time to be more active - I’m also on 🦋 @ minyaaa

Shoot apical meristem of my "pin"📌 Mimulus mutant, with plasma membranes of cells fluorescently labeled. #MicroscopyMonday #MeristemMonday #MimulusPropaganda

Recent weeks I need to make a lot of tobacco leaf discs into juices for dual luciferase experiment. Anticipated outcome: bleeding palm with holes in the center, super buff bicep, and hopefully results w. small error bars that can tell me something about DNA-protein interactions.

Aspidistra radiata (Asparagaceae)

これは素晴らしい写真❣️ 中米に分布する赤い花を咲かせるギンリョウソウモドキの仲間のMonotropa coccinea ネット上にアップされている本種の写真の中で一番良い写真だと思う。

I am ***absurdly*** excited to announce the launch of a new funding opportunity through Experiment dot com!!! You have one month to pitch something wonderful in the realm of plant biology/biotech research and education. $10,000 max grant. PLEASE RT!!! 1/3 experiment.com/programs/plants

Episode #3 of Tears In Rain is live!!! I got to spend some time with one of my favorite living scientists, 闵娅 (Min Ya | Minya), PhD where she tells us about her time as a student in China and her graduate adventures in Europe and the US. Like and subscribe for more!💚 youtu.be/x1HwoWSl_00
