@kamounlab.bsky.socialFarewell Maian @mai_garro for an incredibly successful postdoc before the PhD (aka predoc). Mai is moving next door to start a PhD in the renowned rotation program @JohnInnesCentre @TheSainsburyLab Thank you for your many contributions to our lab and research! 🔬 🧐 🧫 🌱 🇦🇷
@kamounlab.bsky.socialToday’s @JohnInnesCentre @TheSainsburyLab Friday Seminar is Thorsten Schnurbusch @LeibnizIPK “Unleashing Wheat Flower Biology: Insights for improved Floral Fertility”

@kamounlab.bsky.socialThe lab meeting, explained medium.com/@kamounlab/t...
@kamounlab.bsky.socialKudos to the whole team. A very important study on an important pandemic virus 🍅
@jmadhuprakash.bsky.socialReposted by @kamounlab.bsky.social🍅 Tomato brown rugose fruit virus spread worldwide.
For >60 years, one resistance gene protected tomatoes. This virus broke through.
A second gene confers resistance. The same viral target? Convergent evolution?

@kamounlab.bsky.socialHow to kill peer review: ask already swamped academics to review a Sanger Tree of Life genome “data note”.
What am I meant to review? What am I meant to comment? “Cool taxon”?
Automate routine technical checks. Use AI. Srsly, people. Get real.

@neftalycm.bsky.socialReposted by @kamounlab.bsky.socialVery happy to have been part of the @kamounlab.bsky.social My time there as a predoc was a life changing experience 🙏🏽
@clemmar.bsky.socialReposted by @kamounlab.bsky.socialThank you for continuous your support, Sophien! It's been a blast (^^) to be part of the @kamounlab.bsky.social
@kamounlab.bsky.socialThanks for tagging me. Hopefully, they will rectify.
@kamounlab.bsky.socialThanks for raising the issue Jo. Very good point. I haven't seen this list and I will raise it with the organisers.
