Currently trying to survive my PhD in Plant Epigenetics

love DNA🧬 and everything about it

🍇🧬 New paper alert! 🍇🧬
What do we currently know about epigenetics in grapevine immune responses? What do we still not know about it? Can we harness epigenetics to mitigate pesticide use in viticulture?
We answer these questions in our new article in @PPLplantarum

Unrelated oomycetes and arbuscular mycorrhiza fungi both have coenocytic hyphae with hundreds of moving nuclei - check out the paper by @edouard_evan et al. on Phytophthora nuclei if you want to know more @mbiojournal https://t.co/qNyjrUTh1o

Good bye @eLife. It was nice knowing you.

Dude, it’s not called #ASAPbio for nothing 🤷‍♂️

A final eu ate estava enganado. Eu pensava que o financiamento público em ciência se tinha mantido a níveis de 2009 mas a final esta abaixo do que era em 1991. Isto chegou a fundo e se juntamos vamos passar 2 anos sem financiamento de novos projetos da FCT.Como segurar o talento?

Adoro a tentativa de explicação de um artigo que na verdade é só uma repetição do artigo e não explica absolutamente nada, o cúmulo da academia

A quick thread on our @Nature paper on Assembly Theory. https://t.co/R82Nl8U9FM 1/10 Assembly theory provides a new framework to understand selection and evolution that integrates physics and biology. It redefines objects not as particles but by their formation histories.

Um investigador e professor está neste momento a ser ostracizado por expressar a sua opinião de apoio à palestina, e coagido a demitir-se de uma posição editorial.

The Onion speaks with more courage, insight and moral clarity than the leaders of every academic institution put together. I wish there were a @TheOnion university.

É já amanhã (29-set) que o @GPS_Lab vai estar na #NEI2023! Venham aprender um pouco sobre microrganismos benéficos para a videira, a enorme diversidade desta planta e algumas doenças que a afligem!
Ah, e temos uvas para todos - mas venham depressa, elas voam! 🍇🍇

@madsgirao uhhh o do BioISI? Boa sorte! im rooting for you 🤞

My first oral presentation was on monday and I still can't believe I did it 🥺 DNA methylation in the grapevine downy mildew interaction is really cool, I swear!

The weather may be horrible, but at least the grapevines (at our lab) are in bloom 🥰

And they actually smell kinda nice!

@Pico_Diptera Provavelmente, ou isso ou ponho uma checklist na porta do lab, não não ter um avc antes dos 30

Ever since "the incident" I have to quintuple-check if i left my RNA in the freezer. Today I walked back after already leaving uni and being halfway to the subway
