Low bar for authorship these days
Only single cell sequencing of the all these post docs will reveal why
🌍 Plants are at the heart of climate solutions. Join us Tuesday 1.30pm at #PlantBio2025 for “Utilizing Plant Biology to Mitigate the Climate Crisis” to explore how plant&soil science can tackle warming, cut ag emissions & boost CO₂ drawdown. Global & urgent science. #ClimateAction #PlantScience
I know of some postdoc fellowships that came through within the past week or so, but the funding decisions were made on those in the before times. There's some activity in funding, but not much portal.nifa.usda.gov/enterprise-s...
Bring back the phenotype.
Not limited to #plantscience

The rhizosphere has been called “one of the most complex ecosystems on earth”
But how do host plants control benefits derived from their microbial partners?
Read our paper in Nature Microbiology on how legumes mediate conflict & cooperation with N2-fixing symbionts.

I think this is the "it's time to take a break from the puzzle and go for a walk" kind of help
Tater is very good at being a potato
NSF makes you say who you got conflicts (coauthored) with. We (really just Jordan Matelsky) just built you a tool for that. Literally one click: bib.experiments.kordinglab.com/nsf-coa
Can this be retroactively applied to other manuscripts? I think it would make for some good stories
What's the proper authorship/CRediT designation for the person who is on the paper mainly to settle disputes between the other authors?
Magnified ross section of a plant root imaged under UV so that the individual cells light up in blue against a black background
I'm here now. bringing you that root content (deceivingly not corn)
