My latest in @plosbiology.org Look I get it, it seems really dark, but there are opportunities. My paper explores some ideas and tries to guide ways of thinking through the anticipated challenges. An emphasis on America’s “biohubs” and entrepreneurship

Cool new paper on receptor specificity.

New data from the Bob Schmitz lab (Marand 2025) on cell type-specific cis-regulation in maize! This study, in @science.org, reveals how DNA changes impact expression and maize traits. Explore the 176 new tracks on the browser under Epigenetics and DNA binding.

The scope of #fungi #biodiversity is only beginning to be fathomed.
Every day almost ten new species are described. 🍄🤯
David Hibbett László Nagy and Henrik Nilsson introduce the fungal tree of life. www.cell.com/current-biol...
📢Our synthesis of current knowledge on the fascinating cell of #arbuscular #mycorrhizal fungi is out @currentbiology.bsky.social, part of the special #fungi issue. With @rachaelcargill.bsky.social @tobykiers.bsky.social @thomasshimizu.bsky.social

90% of you probably don’t need to read this.
But maybe some of you are curious & 10% will feel seen. Or a little less alone. This isn’t about seeking sympathy.
It’s about sharing something hard to say out loud;
partly to heal, partly in case someone needs to hear it too. (1/3)

I got hit by some rather sudden and extreme financial hardship so if anyone is in need of remote wetlab contract research, strictly BSL1, do let me know. Currently scrambling for gigs.

Welcome to the era of "vibe coding", where people are using ChatGPT and other AI tools to help write code, even if they don't know anything about software.

Wonderful to see UCSD Academic Senate Chair Olivia Graeve encouraging the entire campus to #standupforscience at the rally next Fri March 7 2025 at 12 noon in front of the Geisel Library/Silent Tree! Stand up for science ... and all scholarship at universities.

I escaped poverty because I am a scientist.
And I am a scientist because of the National Science Foundation.

Math is hard
Researchers at Fred Hutch have discovered an overlooked mechanism driving aggressive breast and brain tumors involving genes so ancient — more than 2 billion years old — that they fly under the radar of standard genetic sequencing methods. 1/9 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

With both RFK Jr and Gabbard confirmed, two people who rose to prominence spreading conspiracy theories about public health and national intelligence will now run the U.S. government agencies in charge of those areas. For someone studying these conspiracy theories for a decade... this is nauseating.
It’s official: all funding requests made on Tuesday by postdocs for their salaries have been unilaterally rejected by NSF.
It is Faculty interview season, so I created a doc with compiled Chalk Talk advice! Please share widely- this shouldn't be hidden curriculum... there is a recipe for success! I will also share videos of my practice and actual UCSD chalk talk with anyone who wants it! DM me!
This is a truly awesome story by @priyaramakrishna.bsky.social & @nikogeldner.bsky.social et al. #CryoSEM imaging of elements!!! They just opened the floodgates for many many cool discoveries!!! www.nature.com/articles/s41...
CapituLab capitula take #4 - lettuce flowers are (maybe surprisingly) among our absolute favorites! We are using lettuce in the lab as a genetic model system to study how flowers in the Asteraceae develop. The red ones here were some of the first transformed in lab by @reidselby.bsky.social!
Postdoc jobs in the Gaut lab! Brandon isn't on here, so I can be frank: he is fantastic. I did my postdoc with him and he is not only an amazing scientist but one of my favorite humans. I would have happily stayed in his lab forever if that was feasible. recruit.ap.uci.edu/JPF08999 #plantscijobs
New year, new paper! Now published in @nature.com. We identified and characterised diverse immune cell states in plants under pathogen attack. My postdoc work in the Ecker lab at @salkinstitute.bsky.social. A thread (0/n)

Shows the user interface for RhizoVision Explorer with multiple panes including options and color-coded roots in the middle based on their diameter. Include the RVE shield logo and the website rhizovision.com
Do you want to study roots? We released RhizoVision Explorer 3 years ago and now have 12,500+ downloads. RVE is free, open-source software for analyzing root images. The website covers common reproducible imaging approaches. Feel free to ask any questions! Version 2 coming!
