Some reflections on #Fungal26 This was a great meeting as always but set against some turbulent times of course, which meant many regular attendees were not present. This thread is mainly for them. However, the proportion of 1st time attendees was very high & international. 1/15

🌿 New paper from the lab out in @NaturePlants! We built a single-cell atlas of Arabidopsis leaf development to ask: how does drought reshape leaf gene expression at the cellular level?

Our keynote @PlantTeaching gave an amazing talk, taking us from photosynthesis to evolution, development and physiology… Through aliens 🛸

What an inspiring way to end #nbiast2025

Today I had a great time attending a writing workshop led by Mary Williams (@PlantTeaching). I came away with many tips for writing papers, a greater understanding of the peer review process and I enjoyed our discussion about AI and writing 📝 🖥️

🌱💡 Did you know nuclear pores do more than let molecules in & out? Our new study shows they also act as control hubs for pri-miRNA transcription & processing!
