Ok night owls🦉let's talk about the recent tsunami warning🌊We don't get these alerts very often and there are lot of questions, frustration, and even some anger about how it all unfolded. We'll go over the history, science and warning process👇
🌿 Today, we remember Salk Professor Joanne Chory, a visionary plant biologist and a force for climate action. Her research revolutionized how we understand plant biology and inspired solutions to fight climate change. Joanne’s brilliant mind and passion will forever impact the world. 💚

Prof. Joanne Chory who was suppose to recieve the Wolf Prize in Agriculture 2024 passed away yesterday, before the Wolf Prize ceremony in the Knesset was held.
She contributed a great body of knowledge to our understanding of plants, and educated generations of scientists.
RIP.
I’m running on Nov 2nd to help raise money for the Celiac Disease Foundation. CDF does a lot of awesome work and makes possible gluten/celiac disease research in our lab. Please, consider donating if you can https://t.co/wMvINMjaoN
Please save the date for the Annual Bay Area Plant Hub Symposium, April 16th at the Mission Bay Conference Center at UCSF. This event offers an exciting opportunity to connect with plant science researchers from across the Bay Area

FLORIDA EVACUEES 🚨
If you are headed North to escape the Cat 5 coming in and need a safe place to be, I have 5 acres available just off I-75N where we have WiFi, a generator, Laundry, parking , RV space some electrical and water hook-ups. Pets and large animals welcome. We can make it work just hit my DM’s or just reply below for directions. God Bless be safe ! 🇺🇸
Incredibly proud to share this work, almost 6 years in the making, out in @ScienceMagazine!!! 🎇
We've known for over a century that eukaryotes of all kinds anticipate the seasons (think: hibernation, flowering, reproduction), but what about bacteria?🦠

“While applied research appears to be in the ascendancy at the moment, it is important to remember that without an equal and ongoing commitment to basic science, there would soon be nothing to translate into applications. ”

AI can be used to make convincing looking fake data.
There is no way we can distinguish real from fake anymore.
It is safe to assume that genAI has already resulted in many fake papers. Scientific publishing is not prepared for this.
Our letter is out in this week's Science: Teach creativity in science! Creativity can be taught, nurtured and encouraged. Access to the space, time, and tools for creativity is crucial for the training of early career scientists.

We just published a simple approach for precise control of wheat and triticale plant height without affecting seedling size. Hope you find it useful

So great to see this paper out in @Nature. Beautiful molecular characterization of a new toxin-antidote drive system in maize, led by Ben berube, with assistance from Martienssen lab @antnerves @CrisAlves_bio @BioJlynn and collaborators @arminscheben@jrossibarra Jerry Kermicle
We just published: The extended phenotype: when parasite genes have phenotypic expression in their hosts
An eclectic group of host-parasite interaction scientists gathered @HHMIJanelia for the #ExtendedPhenotypes2024 conference. Here are the takeaways.
