New twitter account for the Frontiers and Techniques in Plant Science course at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Follow us for updates on the 2023 course!

This evening we are having an outstanding lecture on Plant Photosensory perception and signaling by Ullas Pedmale

Last Wednesday we took the group on a little field trip to the NY Botanic Gardens, hosted by Dr Dennis Stevenson, who showed us around the Pfizer Laboratory, Herbarium and the stunning Conservatorium!

Out students, inspired by Prof Voytas, have designed their own gene editing projects, from cis element swaps using prime editing to improving multiplex CRISPR-Cas9 knock-outs

Yesterday was the one and only free day for our students, and many of them went on a day-trip to the city 🌆🏙️

Sailing and kayaking in Oyster Bay between a lecture and workshop on bioinformatic tools for plant science and genetics 🦪🌊

We started this morning with a thrilling lecture by Prof Uta Paszkowski on the molecular mechanisms underlying arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis 🌿🍄

We are now on our Plant Anatomy lab with Prof Neelima Sinha exploring plant morphological diversity with a variety of flowers, vegetables, fruits and other samples we found on a nature walk! 🥦🌽🥔

In today’s lab we did protoplast isolation from maize roots for @FluentBioScien1 PIPseq single cell RNA-seq with Prof Dave Jackson! The students will analyze their sequencing results on the last day of the course.

TRAP and INTACT lab today with Profs Julia Bailey-Serres and Roger Deal, we managed to purify tagged nuclei and ribosome-associated RNAs!

@DolanLab demonstrating the location/plane of critical cells in the thallus CSHL Plant Course

Stunning imaging of diverse plant structures with ClearSee Alpha and a variety of dyes with Robertas Ursache 🌿🔬

Another day of beautiful imaging, this time of a genetically-encoded giberellin biosensor in Arabidopsis with Alexander Jones 🌈 . Our amazing students got some insights into cross-talk between GA and ethylene signalling in etiolated seedlings 🌱

⁦CSHL Plant Course⁩ it’s the last day and chaos has erupted!

The FTPS course 2023 has come to an end! Massive thanks to all the instructors, course aids, TAs, CSHL staff and specially our amazing students. Tune in next year for another three weeks of science+fun! 🌱🌿🎊
