Amherst post office currently playing Anne Murray's "Could I Have This Dance" on loop. I heard it no less than four times. https://t.co/eIA8O20q8U

@DavidBLowry Once upon a time @richardsonlab1 went to lab with my glasses. @MelissaHerman4 convinced her that she had stress induced blindness.

Biology @UMassAmherst is hiring (tenure track) in the area of physiology! Emphasis on -omics approaches. We have a strong organismal group, and Amherst is a wonderful place to live. Please RT!

@markabelan So the plant secondary cell wall alone (cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin) accounts for a majority of the fixed carbon on the planet?

Photoperiodic control of flowering by metabolic regulation in plants. A new type of photoperiodic coincidence system? Cool new paper from @GendronLab #chronobiology https://t.co/KVigSuq9xc

@n_minadakis @roulinlab @gene_hop Beautiful coastal area. Where is that?

[Sam Hazen @hazenlab]

@gene_hop @roulinlab @n_minadakis Just to the left of center. One plant. My bet is hybridum.

AUXIN RESPONSE FACTOR 6 and 7 control the flag leaf angle in rice by regulating secondary cell wall biosynthesis of lamina joints #PlantSci #CellWalls #Auxin #Biosynthesis https://t.co/8ZEqX3eYaW

[Kay Schneitz @PlantDevTUM]

A prime example how the cell wall affects cell fate in plants. Great work by Ajeet Chaudhary https://t.co/OEx8531DGL. from our lab showing that wall damage results in root hair patterning defects due to attenuation of the receptor kinase STRUBBELIG. https://t.co/azyERTjeHy

All programs queried so far have rotations and fellowships. I did not know fellowships (at least among six of the top PB programs) was a constant. I was trained in a Crop and Soil Dept in an Ag college where students were directed (no rotations).

[Sam Hazen @hazenlab]

How does your plant biology graduate program fund first year students? Ours work as TAs during the 1st two semesters (Sept - Apr) and rotate in three labs. I've looked around to find that many institutions provide fellowships for the 1st year during rotations.
