Happy to share my PhD paper in Nature Communications on how we identified UBP5 as a novel regulator of the two crucial histone marks (H3K27me3 and H2Aub) and its role in Arabidopsis development #epigenetics nature.com/articles/s4146…

The first tweet of the year 🎉!!!! And it's the season for unwrapping new science toys at the PLACE Lab🪩!! The latest addition is Conviron's plant growth chamber! Our Castor plants happily own their new comfy home🪴🪴!! #thePLACElabJourney✌️

By bringing her full self to the classroom, assistant professor of biological Jess Gersony has created a novel approach to teaching that embraces interdisciplinary coursework and engages students in the full breadth of the liberal arts. smith.edu/news-events/ne…

Huge congrats to Skarlet Rubi, our PLACE lab's first Honors student, on nailing their preliminary presentation! 🎉 Excited to see the final results unfold! ✌🏻✌🏻 #newPI #Ecophysiology #plantbiology #treephysiology

Dream team!! Recently hit the road with the PLACE lab team to Montpellier for the solar eclipse. It was a fantastic team bonding-experience! #SolarEclipse2024 #teambuilding #DEI #TreePeople #plantscience How do you strengthen bonds with your academic crew?

📢📢Twitter verse! I have an AMAZING undergraduate student trained in plant ecophysiology methods who is graduating and looking for a full time technician position! Please let me know if you or someone you know has a position open!!! Please spread widely!📢📢

In the PLACE lab waiting for osmometer means it’s time for a jam session! Science with a side of rhythm!! 🍀 #Ecophysiology #PlantScience

🌱Excited to share our latest work! We show that the symbiotic peptide NCR13 from chickpea has antifungal function, with NCR13 disulfide bonding variants displaying notable differences in activity and modes of action Thread to follow (9/9) biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

The Smith College Bulb Show is in full bloom! Jess Gersony (she|her) kicked it off with an amazing talk on plants, climate change & how art + community can reshape science. 🎥Watch the recording [youtu.be/12TsFn2x6tA?si…]. Don’t miss PLACE Lab’s artwork featured in the talk! #PlantScience

Glad to share the piece I wrote for @Plantae_org about disabled scientists in plant biology. Thanks to Kelsey J.R.P. Byers , and Dr. Emily May Armstrong for sharing your stories.

Our PLACE Lab team loves the biweekly outreach with Girls Inc of the Valley using art as a gateway to plant science for elementary students! 🌱🎨 From crafting clay seeds to knowing photosynthesis, it's all about learning science through hands-on creativity. #STEAM #SciArt #PlantScience

It’s not just what we teach, but how we shape the space for learning!! In our piece for Plantae , we reflect on what it means to grow into that role.

Our seniors (Avery, Chlo, Flora & Al) have graduated from Smith!! 🎓 We’re so proud of all you’ve done at the lab. Watching you grow into scientists (& even more wonderful humans) has been pure joy!! It’s bittersweet to let you go - can’t wait to see what’s next!! #Classof2025

I enjoyed writing this piece for SEB @sebiology.bsky.social on a JXB @jxbotany.bsky.social Editor’s Choice article! It looks at how plastoglobules and lipid droplets play different roles in aging leaves. Thanks to the SEB team!
