The program for the GRC on Chloroplast Biotechnology is now available on line. There are still a few open slots for talks from applicants - apply soon! The program will include poster preview talks. $$ support for US-based participants is available. https://t.co/10nnTt70cY
Another very sad piece of news: Joanne Chory, a leading figure in plant signaling, has passed away. She continued making remarkable contributions up until her last day. Joanne was one of the first people I collaborated with as a PhD student.

My first opinion paper is out! I learned so much writing it with @ClaireRavenburg@vanwijklab. We look at how Clp chaperone Uvr motifs regulate proteolytic activity and substrate selection and propose candidate regulator proteins in chloroplasts.
