I‘ve witnessed this story develop first hand. Driven mainly by Lana this is a fascinating piece of work. Worth your while.
New OA Article: "PAX-regulated self-organizing polarity drives procambial strand formation" rdcu.be/fCz7y The polarly localized protein kinase converts auxin cues into coordinated cell polarity, propagating polarity between neighbouring cells to form connected veins. #PlantScience

Wie schlimm war die #Hitzewelle Ende Juni hierzulande? Ich habe das Gefühl, die Berichterstattung wird dem bislang nicht gerecht. Vielleicht hilft dieses Diagramm? Das sind die Sterbefälle für jeden Tag seit Anfang 2020 – in Rot die Kurve für 2026. https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/gvL9c/1/
Ohne das Informationsfreiheitsgesetz wären illegale Maskendeals nie ans Licht gekommen. Genau dieses Recht wollen CDU, CSU und SPD jetzt faktisch abschaffen. Das dürfen wir nicht zulassen. Jetzt unterschreiben: 👇 #IFG weact.campact.de/petitions/sp...

Wtf? Who does this? Ask- and worse: agree?
I'm getting more requests for gift authorship lately. Complete with a written MS and a request to just add my name or to provide minor comments to add me as a co-author. Please don't do this. Authorship should reflect substantial intellectual contributions and shared responsibility for the work.
Endlich! Jetzt muss nur noch mal jemand die alten weißen Männer von der Union fragen, warum sie Steinzeitpolitik machen.
Warum gibt es jetzt keinen ARD Brennpunkt und Fragen an die Gaslobbistenministerin und den Kanzler, wie man angesichts der Temperaturen und des Klimawandels die Alten und Schwachen schützen möchte? Dass die Union nach wie vor am Verbrenner festhält kann man wirklich nur noch mit Dummheit erklären.

Its hard for me to critically evaluate this paper because its conclusions align so tightly with my world view: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

#PlantScienceClassics #21: MS Medium. In 1962 Toshio Murashige & Folke Skoog published their revised plant tissue culture medium @pplplantarum.bsky.social, arguably the most high-cited #PlantScience paper of all time. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... 🧪 #PlantDevelopment #PlantMethods

The fact that Americans thought Auxin was a “Hoax from Europe” rightfully got some attention in my latest #PlantScienceClassics post. But it’s actually even funnier if you learn about the context & consequence of White speaking these words to Went at the AAAS Meeting in Pittsburgh. #PlantScience 🧪 🧵
When Frits Went once failed to demonstrate the effect of auxin at an AAAS meeting, it was White who loudly declared “that the auxin business was obviously a hoax and that it was high time that these charlatans from Europe were sent back to where they belonged”. An experience that shook Went.
Must read. As usual.

Thanks to you and the team for making this such an enjoyable event!
Thanks to everyone who visited & helped preparing #MBP2026 by @molplantsci.bsky.social @plantsciencedbg.bsky.social . Your contributions made this a great meeting with lots of networking, catching up, and learning. Hope to see you all @ #BotanikTagung2026 @ruhr-uni-bochum.de for more #plantscience.

Hey everyone joining us @ #MBP2026 in mid March, we just released the conference program. Please check it out here: syncandshare.lrz.de/dl/fiPnsPinb... we are super excited to see you all soon and to talk 🌱🔬🥼 over 🍻all night long!
What a cool story. Congratulations @proteinmagnus.bsky.social and team
Why does a synaptic protein need a 24kb 3'UTR? We asked ourselves that question when writing a review on the IDRs of the NMDA receptor. Alex answered this using a knock-out mouse ⬇️: Synaptic targeting of Grin2b mRNA is crucial for synaptic plasticity and learning. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Universität in D ist, wenn alle in 1 künstlichen Hyperwettbewerb immense Zeit/Energie/Ressourcen verballern, um ‚exzellent’ zu werden, während man die, die am Limit ihrer Kräfte in Lehre/Forschung/Admin universitären Regelbetrieb so gerade am Laufen halten, ohne Rücksicht auf Verluste zusammenkürzt.
