Someone asked if they could use this recording in their teaching. #PlantSci
YES! 😁
Please share this with students - the topics raised are so important.
Let's teach students (and colleagues?) to think critically about expectations for basic research, & be realistic about applications! 🌱🌾🌽

Why should early-career scientists publish in society journals | mBio Society journals are deeply rooted in our scientific community and a vital part of it. They serve as a venue for the publication of high-quality articles while promoting the mission-driven activities ...

There are several good workshops taking place at #ICAR2025 including some on writing and publishing. Today, Liliana Costa, Managing Editor of Plant and Cell Physiology, is sharing her advice. Here's an article I hadn't seen before, advocating for society journals

Cornflower vibrant color comes from a unique complex of anthocyanins, flavones, and metal ions (Fe³⁺, Mg²⁺), stabilized by pH. This metal-anthocyanin interaction shifts the color to blue. #FlavonoidFriday: lnk.tu-bs.de/9Zz2uG

X’s dominance ‘over’ as Bluesky becomes new hub for research Data indicates more scholars turning to alternative social media site to post about their work after Elon Musk’s Twitter takeover

'Bluesky has overtaken its flailing rival X in hosting posts related to new academic research, indicating the platform is fast becoming the go-to place for scholars to share their work.'

Great to be working with The New Phytologist Foundation again, filming interviews and live streaming their editorial meeting for participants. In this photo I am filming new Editor-in-Chief Maarja Öpik being interviewed by Mike Whitfield.
