I’m also pleased and excited to share that I will be working with Ali and others as Plant Physiology AFEs starting in 2026. Looking forward to servicing my community.

Very proud of James Nix, PhD student @bobfurbank and I supervise, for receiving a poster presentation award at the Asia-Oceania international congress on photosynthesis in Kobe @BiologyANU @futurecropsAU It was an amazing conference! We will see everyone in 4 years in Australia!

Very helpful! But consider colorblind-friendly color palettes 🎨
ggpubfigs only supports colorblind-friendly color palettes, so it is something users don't even need to think about :D

@jack_wess_fungi @NirodhaWeerara1 Never seen a more talented hyperparasite PhD student

[Jack Wess @jack_wess_fungi]

Had such a great time at #IMC12 in Maastricht. Very thankful for the opportunity to present my work on rust hyperparasites and antagonists 🍄🍄, see great science and make new friends 🍻🍻🍻🍻. Now to go home for more CRISPR and plenty of SEM 🔬

Preprint Alert🌱
Our latest work by @RenChengzhi et al reveals that two distinct oscillatory auxin signals coordinate lateral root development, adapting root architecture to environmental changes like light and temperature. 🌞🌡️

30 Essays to Make You Love Biology

Day 15. "Theory in Biology: Figure 1 or Figure 7?," by Rob Phillips.

This essay beautifully argues that theory should drive biological experiments, and not vice versa.

"Most of the time, if cell biologists use theory at all, it appears at the end of their paper, a parting shot from figure 7. A model is proposed after the experiments are done, and victory is declared if the model ‘fits’ the data."

But such an approach is misguided. As Henri Poincaré once said: "A science is built up of facts as a house is built up of bricks. But a mere accumulation of facts is no more a science than a pile of bricks is a house."

Physicists, mathematicians, theoreticians: Come work on biology. You can drive progress and guide experiments without ever picking up a pipette.

Excellent collaboration with Nic on figuring out what C4 photosynthesis may have done to their respiration cousin. Great teamwork!
