This semester, for our Plant & Micro Biosci Grad program, I'm developing a new course on ✨Peer Review✨ & critical thinking. Final project is a full review of a preprint!

I'd love to have a journal editor zoom with the class to share their perspective and do a Q&A.
Anyone interested?

Pls share!

We tried something similar! Very small pilot experiment with very few cells so that significantly limited the power of our analysis, but I’ve always wanted to give it another (better) shot! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

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.
