Happy New Year✨️, already a busy one teaching #SeedScience & on our new @cropxr course on #ClimateResilientCrops 🌱
Being back with students is a great reminder of how curiosity matters in science.

I just published: Stop displaying journal names on your slides

A mentoring event at a Congress called for better support of early-career scientists - but what followed sent mixed signals. This blog reflects on those moments and ends with a pledge.

New paper out! 🚨
We explored pollen grain development, pollen tube growth, and the role of arabinogalactan proteins (AGPs) in these processes 🌿 congratulations Sara Mendes and the whole team for the great work! 🎉 https://t.co/dGvd0GYoQQ

16.05.2024 - PhD defended 👩🏻‍🎓🌱
I am really happy that this day has finally arrived and I have successfully concluded this journey. A big thank you to my supervisors, Dr. Sílvia Coimbra and Dr. Higashiyama, to the jury and to everyone who supported me along the way ✨✨

[Jessy Silva @jessysilva_9]

🎓Today, I defended my doctoral thesis after three years of intense work and dedication🍀

I am immensely grateful to everyone who supported and encouraged me along the way.

Now, it's time to celebrate and look to the future with enthusiasm and determination! 🥂

Thank you all!

CRISPit is our most recent European funded project, which started in January! The goal is to generate rice plants resilient to heat stress, by focusing on reproductive traits and using gene editing technology 🌱🌾

Our newest publication @mdpiopenaccess will tell you the parameters you need to consider when choosing reference genes for your next qPCR experiments.
We will help your experimental set up be stress free 😎 and highly reproducible 🤓
