Sorry about the language But this sums up what we’ve heard today on electoral reform - as predicted.

🎉Excited to share yet another story from our lab, now @NatureComms revealing how the phytohormone Strigolactone is deactivated/breaking down! We found a unique hormone catabolism process & structural plasticity of a specific class of carboxylesterases https://t.co/O7quwECIZ5

Introducing #ipmb2024 day 4️⃣ plenary speaker, XiaoQi Feng from @ISTAustria

[Mark Waters @watersmt]

@bradyajohnston Wow that’s the first time I have heard of a fee for cover art, seriously. And a steep one at that. After all the other costs associated with publishing, that’s an insult. Colour reproduction fees are a con too I reckon.

Introducing #ipmb2024 day 2️⃣ plenary speaker Robert Furbank from the Australian National University @ANUmedia

[Dan Davis @dandavis101]

Dan, can the department pay for a scientific event for postdocs ? Yes, I say. Then I see the advert in our lifts:

[Australian Academy of Science @Science_Academy]

🏆 Congratulations to our new Fellows of 2024! These 24 scientists have been recognised by their peers for their outstanding contributions to science; from an expert in spider venoms to an authority on star formation. Meet the best of the best: https://t.co/JNElqD0f45 #FellowsAA

[IPMB2024 @ipmb2024]

Join our plenary speakers from the 24th – 28th of June as we dive deep into the latest trends, challenges, and opportunities in plant science. See you there! ✨ #IPMB2024 #PlantBiology @XiaoqiFeng_m @CaixiaGaoLab @dcb40 @FagujiIshiyaku

[Mark Waters @watersmt]

@tegmark Organise an academic conference like #IPMB2024, that task sure isn’t getting any simpler

[Mark Waters @watersmt]

@nelson_lab @SunhyunChang Nice one @SunhyunChang and team! Keep making those discoveries!

[Dave Nelson @nelson_lab]

How do karrikins and strigolactones control plant growth? A beautiful structure-function analysis by graduate student @SunhyunChang reveals a major regulatory domain that specifies the development “outputs” of SMXL proteins
