Reminder! You DO NOT do experiments to prove/validate your hypothesis, you do them to TEST your hypothesis! #FridayThoughts

Early Career Researchers (students, postdocs, new PIs) are giving such incredible talks at @plantproteostasis.bsky.social meeting, I feel lucky to be old. #impostersyndrome The Future is bright!!!

Last day of @plantproteostasis.bsky.social starts with @plantophagy.bsky.social who will talk about how cells handle translational burden during ER stress #proteostasis

@plantproteostasis.bsky.social gang enjoying #strasbourg

Our preprint now peer-reviewed and published 🌾🔬🧬
Grasses have a signature short-long leaf epidermal pattern: small stomata & hair cells spaced by long pavement cells, but how is it built? Premitotic BdPL1 sets cell-size asymmetry; postmitotic BdBRX-solo/BdYDA1 enforces fate. doi.org/10.1016/j.cu...

I'm happy to share some good news: I finished my PhD after many great years at
@molgen.mpg.de
Next, I am starting my own group on AI for Biology at @mdc-berlin.bsky.social as an Independent Fellow. I will continue my work on designing biology-inspired AI models for gene regulation and single cells.

@spoel-lab.bsky.social is kicking off the 2nd day of @plantproteostasis.bsky.social meeting with #ubiquitin & #immunity

Plants balance iron and immunity at the cell surface. Our new paper reveals how ubiquitin reorganizes the receptor SRF3 to coordinate both, and how this co-ordination works. Huge shoutout to Matt Platre who spearheaded and drove this tour de force! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

What a talk 🌱! @tolgaboz.bsky.social Tolga visited us at the University of Cologne to speak about “Decoding immune recognition and pathogen evasion in plants” hosted by our @sfb1403.bsky.social. So glad to have had you here, Tolga! #PlantBiology #PlantImmunity

🎉 The Perutz is delighted to announce that Alba Diz-Muñoz will join the institute as a new group leader in 2027! Currently at @embl.org Heidelberg, Alba investigates how mechanical forces at the cell surface shape cell division, migration and differentiation ➡️ tinyurl.com/6mvhj8n5

We continue the session about E3 ligases with @djgibbs.bsky.social who is talking about his recent exciting findings about the interplay of E3 ligase NOT4 and TOR signalling (see also his recent publication on this www.nature.com/articles/s41...) #proteostasis @plantproteostasis.bsky.social

The 5th International Plant Proteostasis Conference kicks off in lovely Strasbourg! Organiser Pascal Genschik gets the ball rolling for three days of exciting science 🌱 #proteostasis

3 days of incredible plant #proteostasis talks @ beautiful Strasbourg @ibmp-cnrs.bsky.social thanks Esther, Pascal and all the organisers for bringing us together!

“Jürgen Klopp, recently advised the nation to look at its strengths rather than constantly stare at what is not working” www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

could not be prouder of lillie and the fantastic story she uncovered - from a giant E3 ligase with an unexpected dimer switch to moyamoya mutations that hijack its regulation. a beautiful PhD project, full of surprises and scientific creativity doi.org/10.64898/202... - bsky.app/profile/lill...

Most animal species pack sperm DNA with protamines instead of histones. Protamines are essential for male fertility. They are among the fastest-evolving genes in animals. That makes little sense. We think we know why, in a new paper led by @ching-hochang.bsky.social. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
