New Article: "Roles of microbiota in autoimmunity in Arabidopsis leaves" https://t.co/49XI0FpuB0

With Research Briefing https://t.co/RQ9RqO3vuI

"Abnormal microbiota and autoimmunity have been observed in plants. Our work establishes a connection between these phenomena"

@FlyBehaviour If anything humanity's story is one of slow steady improvement.

Yesterday's plant power lunch with Castroverde & @RobinKCameron1 lab members (@LaurierBiology @bio_mcmaster) was an excellent way to kickstart our #PlantCanada2024 conference!

It was nice catching up over a hearty meal by the Red River waterfront. @garrett_nunn @ChristinaRossi_

@dynomight7 Great post on the stats of being alive in the nuclear era. #62YearsStrong. Particularly the point about being conscious of the confidence you have in your priors. More people in science (including me!) should think more critically about that!

@guidopmi @Woolly_Thyme @laplap10 Excited to read it when it becomes available! Love to see work on basal SA rn. Super interesting.

@hankgreen How do we go about supporting and getting better public transit (especially on rail) in cities designed for cars/buses?

[Garrett Nunn @garrett_nunn]

@DanveC Wow very cool paper!

@ChristinaRossi_ I'm going with bottom left corner and bottom second from the right.

@johngreen I like that you or Payton did the math for number of minutes in a year :)

@DanveC @shieldss_alyssa @biorxivpreprint @LaurierBiology @LaurierSci Congrats Alyssa and Castroverde lab!

Went to Buffalo tonight and saw @hankgreen. It was a literal dream come true. My girlfriend told me she came just to see the look on my face and that I did not disappoint. For the first time in a while I felt the memories forming. Thank you.

All Americans should be horrified and outraged by the brazen terrorist attacks on Israel and the slaughter of innocent civilians. We grieve for those who died, pray for the safe return of those who’ve been held hostage, and stand squarely alongside our ally, Israel, as it dismantles Hamas. As we support Israel’s right to defend itself against terror, we must keep striving for a just and lasting peace for Israelis and Palestinians alike.

Read the pre-print of this paper the day it was posted to bioRxiv. I am both excited for the authors that this paper is finally published but also to have others working on age-dependent resistance. Especially a lab as influential as the He lab. Congrats!

[Reza Sohrabi @rsohrabi]

I am excited to see our #microbiome #immunity paper out in @NaturePlants. In this study we report a critical role for microbiota in age-dependent disease resistance and immune homeostasis in plants.

@sportswithjohn What brought you joy this week?

@hankgreen Hank, what is your favourite beautiful unifying quote from Carl Sagan? ... or just one you like.

[Garrett Nunn @garrett_nunn]

@hankgreen From last night, my girlfriend kept saying she had kin-oa took us like 5 minutes of confusion to figure out she was having quinoa.

blog post - How much plant pathologists value openness and transparency?

Our most recent paper examines code and data sharing practices in plant pathology and shares some ideas for what we can do to improve.

Great blog in general but also a great look back at the last year in Ukraine. Where "it" has gone and where it is going.
