🎉 Congratulations to Theresia Brennecke (Köhler lab) on receiving a prestigious Boehringer Ingelheim Fonds PhD Fellowship! She’ll explore how biomolecular condensates shape gene transcription – joining a global network of top young scientists worldwide ➡ tinyurl.com/yp72ez85
This is 🫡👌🏻🤤
Calling all Master students! We have two PhD positions open, one in molecular plant science on robustness, and one in plant cell biology of light signaling. For more details see: www.cos.uni-heidelberg.de/en/light-sig...
Made a cool wallpaper of Marchantia gemma epidermal cells expressing a constitutive nuclear and plasma membrane mScarletI marker for #fluorescentfriday
Excited to announce I’m starting a new lab at @gmivienna.bsky.social (Vienna BioCentre) in Sept 2026
We study how carbon fixation is inherited and maintained in algae using cryo-ET, imaging, environmental sampling&more
Looking for people who want to build the lab together, get in touch!

Así ha cambiado el clima del planeta en los últimos 25 años.

Take YouTube as an example. So many GenAI-slop nowadays: AI-generated images, videos, voices, and scripts, tonnes of hot garbage. But what do viewers value? Authentic stuff, genuine craftsmanship, factually accuracy, and stories that actually connect with us.
I was told "if you don't use GenAI, you will be left behind".
But the reality is people include GenAI slop in their work, and if you don't use GenAI, your work is already more careful, higher quality, and more authentic.
I am not just talking about academic papers.
🚨We’re hiring! Please help spread the word!
Our lab at @TheSainsburyLab is recruiting a pre-doctoral intern to work on plant immunity research. Ideal for those who are planning to pursue a PhD and seeking research experience. tatsuyanobori.com
Even if you ignore the insane power usage, and the IP theft, and the workforce damage, the amount of fraud and abuse that gen ai enables is inexcusable and inextricable from the technology as long as it exists.
Dang, hard disagree. The best papers to write and read are works of art, not merely a list of data and statements.
Don’t let LLMs take this away too, for gods sake.
Please share! I'm looking for a postdoc. The position is to lead one of the following projects: 1) regulation of plant specialized metabolism by cell fate, or 2) foliar embryogenesis in the succulent plant Kalanchoe.

Introducing the 1,000 Flower Collection 🧬🌹
I’m creating 1,000 genetically designed flowers each crafted with new colors, patterns, and shapes.
Here’s how I’m making it happen… and how you can join me on this journey 🧵(1/7)
This is so, so cool! Congratulations for the awesome project. Just ordered a shirt, they're so cool and I'll cherish it for the beautiful project behind it.
To promote the collection, I’ve launched a designer clothing line where synthetic biology meets aesthetics.
I will give out 100 free limited edition shirts to the first who retweet and order with their handle in the name! Available here → nickdesnoyer.com 🧵(6/7)
A PhD position (initially 3 years) is available in our laboratory in the Center for Plant Molecular Biology (ZMBP), at the University of Tübingen (Germany). The position is available with an intended start date starting January 2026. Interested applicants should submit a single PDF comprising a motivation letter describing your research interests, an up-to-date CV, and the names and contact information for 2 references to timing.lab@zmbp.uni-tuebingen.de ideally before July 21st.
We're looking for a new PhD candidate to join the lab. Please share 🌱😄
Make no mistake. This is an extinction level event for American scientific dominance.
We are hiring a postdoctoral researcher! Join the Ma Lab in exploring the the intricate interplay between plant development and defense signaling. Link below. #jobs #research #plantbiology #vienna
At the GMI, we value collaboration that bridges diverse research areas. Our institute is looking for a Senior Group Leader to contribute to our mission of making fundamental discoveries that enhance our understanding of how plants and other autotrophic organisms function. 👇 Links below.
At the Gregor Mendel Institute, collaboration and core facilities are foundational to our research environment. If you're a scientist who thrives in such a resource-rich space, join us! The GMI is hiring new Group Leader positions. Links are below.

Inside me there are two wolves. One of them has a 15 genome edits the other 20 genome edits. Neither of them is a dire wolf.
Two fantastic positions in #plantscience: A junior AND a senior group leader position at the Gregor Mendel Institute (GMI), part of @viennabiocenter.bsky.social. Generous core funding, fantastic plant and non-plant colleagues, all in a very livable and beautiful city.

Hot take: the only true metric of human progress is the global reduction of suffering. Any technological advancement that does not work in service to this is a lateral step, not forward progress. I don't care if we get to Mars, when rampant famine and disease and poverty remain unsolved for.
To all students in the US seeking PhD positions and open to traveling overseas: you're on time for our Spring PhD Call at the Vienna Biocenter @viennabiocenter Apply here: training.vbc.ac.at/phd-programme/… by April 15 (23:59 CET). Please share this opportunity. No German required! 1/2
If you are into cell & developmental biology and work in the Vienna area, come and join us for the DevStem conference 🤓 👻 It's a great opportunity to strengthen our community and connect the many young scientists working in all things development !
