If you're looking for a postdoc consider this opportunity, it is for a *really* cool NSF-funded project:

We are hiring! If you have experience in plant genomics + AI, or promoter engineering + synthetic biology, check out our two open postdoc positions (computational + wetlab): https://t.co/pdtXE8gYAN please RT #ERC

Our new work uncovering how WIND1 promotes somatic embryogenesis as a bifunctional chromatin regulator!!! We knew WIND1 promotes new fate acquisition and now we show WIND1 also helps repressing existing identity!

The Todesco lab at MSL UBC is looking for a Research Tech to help us run the lab and do fancy science! Good wet lab skills and enthusiasm for plant research are required, experience with genomics and bioinformatics is a plus. Spread the voice! 🧬🌻🧪🌱 🧫 https://t.co/N2VhP7Vmw2

Few things in science are as heart-warming as seeing one of your PhD or postdoc buddies start their own lab and begin absolutely KILLING IT with amazing discoveries!

I am excited to share the latest paper from my lab where we leverage the selection bias of condensate-promoting oncofusions to uncover molecular rules governing condensate specificity and function. https://t.co/AQlErs3lni.

please share - 2 postdoc positions available - molecular physiology of stomata and plant water use of efficiency https://t.co/QzgbGKEzQy @RIPEproject @ASPB @Stomata_Tweets @PlantPhys

Delighted to share this. A novel H4 variant that modulates chromatin to mediate salt stress response. This mammoth work was driven to perfection by @VivekHariSunda1, a wonderful PhD student who also taught me. We report its CryoEM structure & unusual chemistry @NCBS_Bangalore 1/3

> bacteria were engineered to make molecules that absorb light in unique ways. > the microbes were buried in soil. > using a drone with a hyperspectral camera, one can "see" where the microbes are buried from ~300 feet away. one of the most sci-fi papers I've seen in awhile.

In 2004, it took the world a year to add one gigawatt of solar power — now it takes a day.

New Arabidopsis thaliana flower designs ✨

Extremely clever new NGS tech from Roche 🧬 If it's hard to discriminate between nucleic acids accurately with a nanopore, why not synthesize a new polymer off a DNA template that is easier to sequence? It's an intuitively simple idea, but took *a ton* of creative nucleic acid

Transcription factors instruct DNA methylation patterns in plant reproductive tissues https://t.co/02iI5jAeEx #biorxiv_plants

Excited to share work from Zhongshou Wu in our lab showing that GDE1 and REM transcription factors help shape DNA methylation patterning. Together with work from Julie Law’s lab also just out, this shows an important way that genetics directs epigenetics.

🌱 Egg cell-specific degradation of CENH3 using engineered E3-ligases successfully induce haploids ⚠️ Preprint from Andreas Houben's lab @LeibnizIPK 👉🏼 Gametophytic degradation of CENH3 - a synthetic biology approach for haploid induction in plants 📖 https://t.co/MRKivuEsYA

Very pleased to see this work out that identifies a code in C3 rice co-opted to allow C4 photosynthesis. https://t.co/CNuFLMr13J Thanks to all involved but in particular @l_luginbuehl @JoeEcker @_joseph_swift Great transatlantic partnership. @plantsci

Here is something to distract you from the gloom: What can metagenomics tell us about the taxonomic composition of lichen symbioses? A peer-reviewed version of our analysis of >400 lichen metagenomes from around the world is now out in @PLOSBiology. 1/12 https://t.co/MMGDSEwm8H

We are grateful for the positive reception this has received :) Also realized we should fully credit a paper that inspired us & identified the TCX5/6 repressors. Our breakthrough wouldn't have been possible without this important work (Xin-Jian He's lab) https://t.co/dqpdvwCjGt
