New analysis from the The Royal Society shows just how high UK visa costs for researchers are compared to upfront costs for similar visa routes in 13 other countries. Here, we take a look at how the UK compares to countries in the G7 included in the analysis 🔍⤵️ 1/5

Also, for anyone interested to discuss further or find out more come and check out my presentation at #ippcathens2024 Wednesday morning in the session: NLR guided strategies for durable disease resistance in crop plants!

"Bioengineering a plant NLR immune receptor with a robust binding interface toward a conserved fungal pathogen effector" Great work from Rafał Zdrzałek at Mark Banfield lab #BlastOFF pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

One gene family is consistently duplicated across #ResurrectionPlants, which adapted to survive #drought by completely drying out, down to less than 10% water in their tissues. The genetic duplications hint at an underlying mechanism for the #adaptation. pnas.org/post/journal-c…

We are excited to recruit a PhD/MSc student to work on the bacterial plant pathogen P. syringae and its interactions with plasmids and phage. My group utilizes genomics, molecular bacteriology, protein biochemistry and fieldwork to study bacterial evolution 🧫🌱 Please share! 🤩

Check out this really cool study 🤩 Electrostatic changes enabled the diversification of an exocyst subunit via protein complex escape | bioRxiv biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

The globalised food system gets a lot of stick, but it's worth noting that if we weren't able to buy food easily and cheaply from elsewhere the UK would currently be facing famine. theguardian.com/environment/20…

Many people were surprised to see the Nobel prizes in physics and chemistry being won by work related to AI, but does this illustrate a shift in how we do science? newscientist.com/article/245133…
