Jean Greenberg is first up in the local and interorgan signaling session at #2025ISMPI. She’s investigating plastid contribution to plant immunity.
Proline rich regions can drive plastid targeting!
Also an ongoing proteomics study with EMSL to isolate plastids and learn what is there.

Wrap up 2024 with the gift of support for our early career members attending the #2025ISMPMI Congress in Cologne, Germany! Your contributions to the Michael Mishkind Travel Fund will support the next generation of researchers in our field. Learn more and donate today: my.ismpmi.org/ISMPMI/Donat...

Cuts to #nsf and #nih for basic research hurts the U.S Economy and our ability to innovate

Trump Has Cut Science Funding to Its Lowest Level in Decades (Gift Article) The lag in funding extends far beyond D.E.I. initiatives, affecting almost every area of science: chemistry, computing, engineering, materials and more.

We are used to hearing about destruction of the American research enterprise. This article breaks it down well. NSF Funding decreases are virtually in every area of science. This was in Project 2025.

Undergrad ed- 70% cut.
