Ah yes, the university provided laptop for the conference trip I'm going on has no MS office, no way to install it, and kicks out so much heat that I'm considering using it to replace my heating.

Really cool story on a FRET biosensor by Bijun Tang @bijuntang.bsky.social and an amazing team, now published @science.org
Iโm so proud of your PhD work at @slcuplants.bsky.social
Below is the lockdown time in 2020 when you spent long hours screening your FRET biosensor, now known as SalicS1!

I was tremendously lucky to be in @xanderjones.bsky.social's lab to watch @bijuntang.bsky.social move from technician to PhD to Postdoc and produce this magnum opus. #SalicS1 is the just reward for years of brilliance and hard work.Well done Bijun, Xander, Jing, and everyone involved! #SalicylicAcid

Happy to share slightly late that the main work of my PhD is now published! How do plants regulate the number + location of growing branches ๐ณ๐ฒ? We used experiments and mathematical modelling to study how local and systemic signals are integrated during shoot branching regulation. A thread:
