@dariuskos.bsky.socialReposted by @dromius.bsky.socialI’d like to add:
how do plants adapt to new environmental challenges from diseases and droughts brought on by the climate crisis?
how can we make sure there is enough food for future generations?
What would you like to add?

@florentwaltz.bsky.socialReposted by @dromius.bsky.socialHuge congratulations to all three Nobel Laureates, and especially Peter Hegemann! 👏 His seminal work on the green alga Chlamydomonas 🦠laid the foundation for optogenetics. Thank you for putting Chlamy in the spotlight! ✨ Proof that groundbreaking discoveries don't always come from animal models! 🔬
