This is great, but wouldn't be possible without my #PuzzleCells partner in crime @Adam_Runions !! Thank you!!

[German Society for Plant Sciences (DBG) @PlantSciDBG_en]

.@a_sapala (@RichardSmithLab @mpipz_cologne) receives award for best #plantsci paper from @PlantSciDBG_en. She shows why plants make puzzle-like cells + their mechanical advantages. She demonstrates, which role physics play in #plant #morphogenesis. @eLife https://t.co/c3yoJkbzvH

#SIBdays20 kick off tomorrow morning! Great occasion to know where 🇨🇭bioinformatics is at,awesome keynote speakers @VickyNembaware and @floragraham ,panel discussion about how bioinformaticians help fight #COVID19.curious how virtual poster session goes!

[SIB @ISBSIB]

Next week we're excited to host the very first #virtual edition of the SIB Days, the internal #bioinformatics conference for our 800 members in #Switzerland, taking place every two years! Watch the official hashtag #SIBdays20 to follow discussions from across the field.

[EMBL @embl]

How do different cell types originate from a single egg?

To help answer this question, researchers from EMBL Heidelberg and @UniPadova have created a 'virtual embryo'.

@JohnInnesCentre @RichardSmithLab Exciting projects with an excellent supervisor - can't recommend this enough after 5 years in his lab:)

[John Innes Centre @JohnInnesCentre]

FUNDED PhD- The @RichardSmithLab is looking for a motivated computer scientist to apply their skills to fundamental questions in plant development, in order to understand how genes control growth of cells and research methods to implement 3D cell division https://t.co/pS5NssKzkI

@RoutierLab 1. learn to program ASAP 2. study hard for exams and take internships,but remember that being a scientist is different than following books and instructions of others-you have to decide what to do.when this stops scaring you,the fun begins:) @RoutierLab what would YOU tell them?

10 years ago, I was a postdoc with a toddler and thought there was no way I could ever be a professor. #10yearchallenge

[Aleksandra Sapala @a_sapala]

can't recommend this course enough!
