Endosperm deserves more attention, given its importance for the seed-based things we eat (so most of what we eat lol 🍞🌽🍙🍺🥥)!
Come learn about the wacky world of ~~~maternal-filial transfer-specialized endosperm~~~

For the past 6+ years, I had lots of thoughts about how floral meristems terminate to make flowers, esp from an evo-devo viewpoint. Now, these thoughts are distilled into 2000 words and I humbly share them with the community on @NewPhyt. Comments & discussions are very welcome!

New year, new business, new website! I spent 2022 dipping my toes into #scicomm freelancing and now I'm diving into the deep end of the pool by launching Science IRL Productions!

Need a video? Writer? Host? Speaker? Broader impacts? Let's collaborate: https://t.co/3CIOx1m8uF

Very excited to share at this event! Prepare for heavy use of the plant endosperm <> mammalian placenta analogy!

@0_minyaaa I've heard a joke (maybe not??) that you can identify a dead morphologist because the hands will stay perfectly preserved 😂🤔

Today, @sioroberts w/ @nytimes has a very nice article on our research into how the early insect embryo is assembled.

Another conference, another piece of art featuring my study system #SDB2022 #EvoDevo2022 😎

(i'm hoping #Botany2022 will continue the trend!)

On my way to the Joint SDB-PASEDB Meeting 🎉. If you are curious about rare parasitic plants that lost their meristems but maintain pluripotency check out my talk if you're attending the event! See you all 🔜 #latamscience #2022SDB #EvoDevo2022 - via #Whova

[M. Brent Hawkins @Homeobox]

What do Hox genes and early 2000's pop punk hairstyles have in common?

To find out, come to my talk at the #EvoDevo2022 #2022SDB #PASEDBPostDoc symposium on July 20!

Our paper on the phloem of Austrobaileya scandens is published Open Access @PlantCellEnvir. Thanks @TheHolbrookLab, @ArnoldArboretum & @IHSM_CSIC_UMA. This is a great opportunity to share an adventure that started 10 years ago... 🧵1/10 https://t.co/SXDJXqsLaI

As an assignment, I asked the students taking my Evo Bio course to make a meme on some course-related topic. The students enjoyed it so much that some made multiple memes just for fun. I am sharing a few of these. Most of them are downright hilarious😆
