Congratulations to the John Innes Centre The Sainsbury Laboratory Annual Science Meeting poster winners.

Delighted that our group's first Postdoc Ishika was recognized today 😀. Being new to the fields of both gene expression and plant biology were no problem due to her incredible dedication 👏

Looking forward to visiting Sainsbury Laboratory Cambridge University (SLCU) tomorrow to run a creative workshop with @pawalusimbi for the inaugural @BlackInPlantSci conference! 💚🌱💚 A driven, inclusive and empathetic community that's bound to make it a day of positive ideas and fruitful scientific discussion.

My #Inktober creations thus far! Film posters 'Amélie' (on exhibition and for sale Fronteer gallery in November) and 'Cashback'; Albanian folk dress from Përmet region; and impromptu portrait 'Baltic Chef.'

Two more ink-y creations that I wrapped up #Inktober with: men in Albanian folk dress from Krujë, and a portrait. I was aiming to make four big pieces for the folk theme, but have decided that four people in folk dress is sufficient. 😅 Big new projects up ahead...

Today’s Friday seminar speaker The Sainsbury Laboratory John Innes Centre is all about symbiosis between fungi and plants: Caroline Gutjahr at Max Planck Institute of Molecular Plant Physiology mpimp-golm.mpg.de/2724220/dept_9

Here’s one more bonus painting to end the year. ‘Javier Santos-Aberturas’, 2024, 28 x 35.5 cm, oil on canvas. The emotion I’ve portrayed is a perplexed one, common when experiments are challenging, but fleeting for a skilled postdoc who’s worked John Innes Centre for 9 years. 💪🏻

Happy to share our latest discovery of the autoactive CNGC15, sufficient to enhance root endosymbiosis in legume and field grown wheat: nature.com/articles/s4158… Thank you to everyone involved! Special shout-out Nicola Cook, G.Gobbato, collaborators @DaveLawson101 , Cristobal Uauy
