This year's #PlantBio2025 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin (July 26-30), hosted by ASPB features a plenary session on #plantbiomechanics chaired by Erin Sparks plantbiology.aspb.org/plenary-sympos… Speakers are @geitmannlab, Naomi Nakayama, Ivan Radin, Frank Telewski


Good mentorship is all about paying it forward! I'm borrowing from the best! Following Kenneth D. Birnbaum's gold standard of lab vibes New York University starting with the most critical: lab coffee Because great science starts with great caffeine Priorities, people! ☕️😂 #ScienceHappensHere


Absolutely mind-blowing talk by Robin (Buell lab) on single-cell multi-omics to decode the complexity of plant natural product biosynthesis (work by Chenxin Li, PhD (@chenxinli2.bsky.social)) And we (Kenchanmane-Raju Lab) got to chat with her about science and graduate education #PlantScience #InspiringLeaders


Don’t miss the next PlantCellAtlas.bsky.social "Plant Cell Identity" webinar! 📅 Tomorrow (02/11) at 12 PM EST 🔥 Featuring talks by Kenneth D. Birnbaum & Kaisa Kajala on cell types, cell states, and their evolution! 🌽🍅 🔗 Register now: bit.ly/PCAPCI_Webinar #PlantBiology #SingleCell #CellIdentity


Thrilled to have presented Kenchanmane-Raju Lab's first-ever poster at #MaizeMeeting2025, featuring the outstanding work of Simoné and Yuvraj Chopra! Great engagement, but the best part? Getting to present this work to my mentors James Schnable Kenneth D. Birnbaum 😎 UC Riverside CNAS


Career webinar happening now! Navigating the job market after graduate school PlantGrads ASPB African Researchers Network Michael Tross, former grad student Schnable Lab UNL PSI, talking about his career trajectory! A recording will be available at plantpostdocs.com PlantPostdocs (@plantpostdocs.bsky.social)



Super cool work from my friend Arif's lab Arif Ashraf and collaborators showing cell cycle pause and play during environmental stress response and recovery 🌱🔬 biorxiv.org/content/10.110… #MustRead #EnvironmentStress


This week I taught a class on comparative genomics and used GEvo as the tool for the in-class activity James Schnable , just so you know GEvo is still working great to teach about synteny! Still rocking the GEvo since 2015 Hahahaha

Loving the energy in my #ComparativeGenomics & #SingleCell omics class at UC Riverside CNAS! Fun activities to learn functional orthologs across species & single-cell sequencing reads! This week: a deep dive into gene expression evolution preprint bioRxiv Plant Bio👇 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…


🎉Thrilled to see Deepak Bhandari honored with the 2025 Anton Lang Memorial Research Associate Award! This comes on the heels of his 2024 PlantPostdocs (@plantpostdocs.bsky.social) Sahyadri Outstanding Postdoc Award — congrats on continued recognition of your outstanding work!

#UCRiverside professors Mary Droser & Hailing Jin were elected to National Academy of Sciences, the highest-profile scientific organization in the country! ✨ Read more ⬇️ #ucr UC Riverside CNAS news.ucr.edu/articles/2025/…


Excited to share this UC Riverside CNAS video featuring our work! Kenchanmane-Raju Lab explores how environmental responses evolve—cell by cell, species by species—using single-cell and epigenomic tools in crops and their wild relatives. 🎥 youtu.be/8Q0K_3d0K6k 🌱 kenchanmanelab.com

🎉 First nuclei isolation grand success Kenchanmane-Raju Lab! Congratulations to Minnie (Arabidopsis) and Yuvraj Chopra (maize) for isolating high-quality nuclei on their very first try 💪🌱🧬 Looking forward to many such moments with these two bright and multi-talented students!


Huge congratulations 🎉 Yuvraj Chopra, now a grad student in my lab Kenchanmane-Raju Lab, just published his first first-author paper based on his Master’s work with Scott Sattler and Harkamal Walia Nebraska Agronomy and Horticulture Check it out: tinyurl.com/du2vmjan
