大学生協のある豊かさよ

学位をとってすぐにこちらに来た身としては、自分とD生との間には大した差はなく、寧ろD生と学部生との間にはるかに大きな差を感じているのですが、一緒にご飯を食べたりお酒を飲んだりすると、やはり学部生諸君は学生か否かに大きな線を引いていることに気付かされ、興味深くも寂しくなります。

How can we better understand the plant immune system? In my new @cp-cellhostmicrobe.bsky.social piece, I propose “immune cell states” as a framework for uniting molecular and cellular perspectives.
