Scientific discoveries are rewarding, but the journey of entering a new field and learning new techniques has been the real highlight for me. So grateful for the mentorship of @plantevolution.bsky.social and the amazing lab!

record 17,058 Marie Curie proposals in 2025 vs. 10,360 in 2024!!! the reason is pretty obvious, but wow that is a huge jump marie-sklodowska-curie-actions.ec.europa.eu/news/msca-po...
Very happy to share our latest work “Systematic discovery and engineering of synthetic immune receptors in plants” out in @science.org !

How diverse are the individual strains within your species?
How broad is their Pangenome?
How will you choose representatives from the whole collection?
Look no further! PanGene-O-Meter is here for you!

First a pentamer, then a hexamer… now an octamer!
The riddle of the enigmatic CCG10-NLR immune receptor family cracked open 🔥

How can we better understand the plant immune system? In my new @cp-cellhostmicrobe.bsky.social piece, I propose “immune cell states” as a framework for uniting molecular and cellular perspectives.

Thank you Baptiste
This helps disentangle the complex relationship between plant development and immunity.
2/3 By focusing on very early time points, Shanshan found mesophyll cell populations that not only prioritize a defense-over-growth strategy vs. a growth-over-defense strategy, but also that these cell populations behave more similarly during ETI than PTI.
Super excited to share our new preprint! 🎉 This project has been an incredible learning experience, thanks to the amazing lab and wonderful people I get to work with. Huge thanks to my supervisor! @plantevolution.bsky.social
1/3 New preprint led by Shanshan Wang, in collaboration with the Timmermans lab.
Several groups have presented sc/snRNA-seq analyses of Arabidopsis leaves after bacterial infection before. Is there anything left to discover? Turns out: Yes.
