[Violeta Londoño @ViolaLondono]

Siempre he creído que se debe pensar en que se quiere ser cuando se sea grande sin importar la edad, no solo porque cada vez estamos más viejos si no porque siempre estamos creciendo mental y espiritualmente, además de alcanzar metas y sueños.

[KAUST BESE @KAUST_BESE]

Excellence in early-career research was recognized as @ViolaLondono, a PhD candidate in the Plant Science Program, received the Outstanding Poster Presentation Award, sponsored by The EMBO Journal, at the Singapore Bioscience Symposium.

Violeta was recognized for her poster presented at the School of Biological Sciences at Nanyang Technological University, showcasing her doctoral research in Prof. Monika Chodasiewicz’s lab (@StressGranuleMC ). The award reflects both the quality of her work and KAUST’s commitment to developing the next generation of scientific leaders.

Congratulations Violeta!

Hola Dra. @Fungi_Cosas Me preguntaba si podias ayúdame a identificar a este amiguito. Crece en el jardín que es regado todas las noches y durante el dia soporta temperaturas de mas de 30°C y humedad en las madrugadas de mas de 50%. Muchas gracias fungiamiga :3

Sí, el palo no está pa cucharas, pero les traigo esta historia maravillosa de ciencia para tomarnos un respiro:😮‍💨

¿Cómo reconstruyeron el primer genoma completo de un colombiano de hace 6000 años?

¿Cómo así que el ADN de esa “población” no coincide con ninguna de Suramérica? 🧵

[Monika Chodasiewicz @StressGranuleMC]

Suprising results!!! Plants lacking RBP47, the well known Stress Granule marker are more resistant to high temperature stress 👀☀️

First manuscript from our group 👍 and collaborators 💪

[Monika Chodasiewicz @StressGranuleMC]

To kick off the New Year with new energy, my group had SGs symposium!! We had everyone presenting in a strict, conference format mode 💪 and the discussion was amazing! Congratulations to everyone! 🏆🥇

Would you be interested in working on plant condensates? 🌱 There's a #Spanish_grant available that you can apply for to join my lab. To apply, you should have completed your PhD between Jan. 2023 and Dec. 2024. Please, contact with me for more info. #JdC_grant @stress_granules

Ethiopian wolves have been seen feeding on nectar! 🐺

They are the first large carnivore documented doing this - and may be acting as pollinators too. New from @Arctic_paws @ClaudioSillero @WildCRU_Ox @UniofOxford 👇

New Article: "A promiscuous mechanism to phase separate eukaryotic carbon fixation in the green lineage" https://t.co/DmATzv1UM8

A key Rubisco phase-separating protein in the CO2-fixing pyrenoid of Chlorella algae. May aid in engineering CO2-supercharging pyrenoids in plants

Hello friends, I am making a movie for the start of #ICAR2025 in Ghent next year!

I need your help to make it a community project! Please retweet + comment your favorite Arabidopsis live imaging video to be featured in the movie. Anything from macro to single-molecule, tell me!

It was a great course 🤓

[Brande Wulff @BrandeWulff]

It was such a pleasure to teach the Scientific Communications course in KAUST these last 6 days with Kyle Lauersen, Peter Karagiannis, Lucy Vick, Bulent Erbilgin, Lama Hakem and Aigerim Rakhmatulina. Thanks to all the students for being so engaging. We hope to be back next year.
