#FTPS18 joins the #cshalumni ranks! Thanks to everyone who participated in this year's CSHL Plant Course including co-instructors Sean Cutler, @JoseDinneny & Uta Paszkowski, and course supporters U.S. National Science Foundation, Helmsley Charitable Trust & HHMI! #plantscience #cshlcourselife

They're the world's tiniest flowering #plants. But thanks to new #gene #research, they could help us address an enormous problem: #climatechange 🌎☀️🔬🌱 Find out more in this latest episode of CSHL's #storytelling #podcast 🔊 bit.ly/BasePairs16

Peer review both has pros and cons.After a fun discussion with Chris Surridge of Nature Plants we #FTPS18 end up deciding that the problem is not the system rather we need to prepare us to provide and accept constructive feedback .. meetings.cshl.edu/pdf/CSHL_2018_…

Based on a discussion of peer review held at #FTPS18, the editor of Nature Plants wrote an editorial to summarize some of the faults and possible solutions we came up with for peer review. Check it out! nature.com/articles/s4147…

Hal is amazing!

What traits really distinguish annual and perennial plants? @MarjLundgren and I synthesize results from physiology, development and genetics in our new paper in Current Biology. Very excited to see this finally in print! authors.elsevier.com/a/1adSa3QW8Ru5…

Just up on biorxiv: Grey Monroe, Haoran Cai and I model GxE for soil drying using a Function Valued approach. We'd love to hear your thoughts! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Nice coverage of some of our work on gene regulatory responses to drought, Jie Yun collaborating with Caroline Uhler & Anastasiya Belyaeva | MIT Spectrum spectrum.mit.edu/spring-2021/fo… via MIT Spectrum

We're hiring! The Des Marais lab at MIT is looking for a research technician to support ongoing work on plant-environment interactions, GxE, and life history evolution. Please RT!! careers.peopleclick.com/careerscp/clie…

My friend Chenyang (twitterless) has written a nice tutorial on diffusion models, from the "projection onto manifold" perspective. My favorite part is the *extremely simple* pedagogical codebase, which I've been using myself for quick experiments. See: chenyang.co/diffusion.html
