Maize is a way for maize transposable elements to make more of themselves

Humans are a way for maize to make more of itself

Therefore, humans are a way for maize transposable element to make more of theselves

Your transposon overlords thank you!

Prehistoric features! We’re really proud of this one and hope others find it interesting too.
Maize domestication phenotypes reveal strigolactone networks coordinating grain size evolution with kernel-bearing cupule architecture. See TPC!

Can’t explain why but touching soil and potting plants are just sooooo therapeutical. Highly recommend.

Fun fact: This adaptation was studied extensively by Darwin, designating an entire chapter to orchids that forcefully eject their pollen. https://t.co/jco5RsUOAR

My #Catasetum orchid bloomed! I captured a slow-mo video of the trigger mechanism. Such a cool adaptation to launch the sticky pollina onto pollinators.

Everybody look at the cutest little crochet maize that @faithtwinamaani made for me completely out of the blue! 🥺 This little guy will lift my spirits as I prepare for the candidacy exam ❤️

Every single speaker at this afternoon’s EDI Plenary was absolutely perfect! 👏#PlantBiology2022 #PlantBio2022
I am grateful to be a part of a generation that gets to go to science symposiums with EDI as a cornerstone instead of downplayed or non-existent.

[Nadia Mourad Silva @NadiaNazihM]

Just re-watched GOT and this pops up. Kudos to whoever designed this⚔️

[Keith Slotkin @Slotkin_Lab]

Today at #ICAR2022: two different sessions on Epigenetics and Chromatin Biology! Before and after lunch. Looking forward to the day!

A very pretty mutant 😍

[UF Graduate Assistants United @uf_gau]

THANK YOU to everyone who stood with UF graduate assistants yesterday against starvation wages! UF knows now that we are NOT tired, we are READY to continue negotiating, and we will not stop until we get the livable minimum stipend we deserve. #Top5Pay

The 2 days of presentations from PMCB Students were amazing. Great to get a peak into what everyone has been working on! All presentations were awesome, but 3 winners were chosen 🥳 🎉
