Interested in imaging plants, then this is a great workshop for you!

We have a great line up of speakers from plant and ‘outside’ fields, fantastic location and spaces for ECRs to come and join in the fun!

🌿 Excited to share our latest preprint!
We tracked how plasmodesmata numbers evolved across the path from C₃ → C₄ photosynthesis in Flaveria - and found a stepwise increase in cell-to-cell connectivity.
Thoughts or feedback are most welcome 😊

Deeply saddened by the news that David Stephens died last night.
David was an outstanding cell biologist based at Bristol whose work spanned #MembraneTraffic #cytoskeleton #ciliogenesis + more. He was “one of the good guys”. Kind, supportive, generous with his time, and rigorous about his science. 🧪
