Werner Heisenberg on the famous 'Bohr-Einstein debate' 💭 Einstein was not prepared to let us do what, to him, amounted to pulling the ground from under his feet. Later in life, also, when quantum theory had long since become an integral part of modern physics, Einstein was

The magnetic rack for 1.5 and 2 mL tubes is now finally available. It has removable magnets, so you can simultaneously vortex all the tubes. The tubes won't fly away because they are held in place with miniature springs. Check it out: sergilabsupplies.com/collections/ma…

The hero of plant science: Arabidopsis thaliana

We mourn the death of Professor Philip Benfey, who passed away last Tuesday. A prominent scholar, he served as departmental chair during a challenging time, hired many of our faculty members and mentored a generation of plant molecular biologists. today.duke.edu/2023/10/duke-f…

MUST WATCH. The best description of the situation that I've seen so far, by the German vice-chancellor, Robert Habeck.

Sainsbury Laboratory Cambridge University (SLCU) I m very excited to start as a fellow at SLCU! Very much looking forward to explore the plant develpomental pathways exploited by plant gall-inducing colonisers! Very interested to discuss ideas and establish collaborations with people who share my fascination about plant galls!

With a bit of synthetic biology and classical genetics, I transformed the unremarkable Arabidopsis flower into a beautiful pink rose 🌹🧬 with Stefano Bencivenga. (A thread 🧵)

Super excited to see our last paper out Science Magazine, with Stefano Bencivenga Stefano Bencivenga and Ueli Grossniklaus science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

We are hiring! We have a open position for a PostDoc (2+1 years) in our group at the IPMB-Zurich to study epigenetic mechanisms that guide cell fate acquisition during plant embryogenesis. For more info and how to apply here: botinst.uzh.ch/en/aboutus/ope…

Fellow scientists and plant enthusiasts, I invite you to my public PhD defense and first ever art exhibition, Plant Models, on April 29. The defense and exhibition will be at the UZH Botanical Gardens starting at 11:00 and 17:00 CEST respectively. Exhibition details below 🧵

We tried CUT&Tag with very little amount of Arabidopsis material (less than 0.01gr!) to map different histone modifications and it works so well! Here you can our find the method biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Working on some more community love on this gentle Sunday by writing a tutorial on how I use Primer3Plus.com to generate reliable primers for both detection and cloning. Please RT and share with your students! Enjoy! 💚 binomicalabs.notion.site/PCR-Primer-Des…

Hello friends, I am making a movie for the start of #ICAR2025 in Ghent next year! I need your help to make it a community project! Please retweet + comment your favorite Arabidopsis live imaging video to be featured in the movie. Anything from macro to single-molecule, tell me!

Excited to share our new preprint about epigenetic regulation of Arabidopsis embryogenesis! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

"a split self-splicing ribozyme based on a group I intron enables conditional reconstitution of a transgene mRNA in the presence of a secondary tissue-specific mRNA of choice, allowing precise expression without specialized promoters"
