@MichaelRaissig@ASPB@ipmb2024 I think we should consider C emissions when conferencing - I'm prioritizing conferences that are close, limiting the # I attend each year, and contributing to a Decarbonization Campaign in my college to offset the emissions I don't avoid: https://t.co/VuA5yDZeoB
Stomata are both fascinating AND photogenic! Kudos to @leilaJfr and @ChenYintong, plus our collaborators, for the cover article! Cover art by @leilaJfr: https://t.co/7ol6ZmOc3P

Why are cellulases so slow? Check out this news article about our work to reveal the molecular mechanisms that inhibit the deconstruction of plant biomass for bioenergy and biomaterial production: https://t.co/FNMeWjIJHx. Thanks to @scissorsfiend for excellent science writing!
In @NewPhyt, Theodora Tryfona (@DupreeLab) and coauthors provide a better understanding of the molecular architecture of grass cell walls, opening new avenues to improve #cereals for food and the production of #bioenergy and #biomaterials. Read more: https://t.co/h3iIehtb0G
A big congratulations to Ellen Zelinsky on passing her PhD defense today! Amazing work on polygalacturonases, cell wall dynamics, and plant development 🌱🔬👩🎓🥳 #phdonebubbleshower
