We've got ISSUES. Literally.

We scraped >100k special issues & over 1 million articles to bring you a PISS-poor paper. We quantify just how many excess papers are published by guest editors abusing special issues to boost their CVs. How bad is it & what can we do?

Excited to share my latest work in @newphyt.bsky.social. Here, we used TurboID proximity labeling with CLAVATA receptors FEA3 and BAM1D in maize meristems to better understand the signaling pathways important for meristem regulation. #PlantScience

Someone got Cas9-Turbo to work. It's like basically Y1H but with proteomics. It however requires transgenic plant expressing Cas9-Turbo and gRNAs, which is still cumbersome for many plants that are not Arabidopsis. #PlantSciences

I’m worried about us all. Trailers tonight: another Jurassic Park, another Superman, another Predator, another Tron, another Fantastic Four 🥲

I YELLED and got disappointed afterwards

U.S. says it is now monitoring immigrants' social media for antisemitism Effective immediately, the government says it will begin screening immigrant social media for activity that officials think indicates support for antisemitism.

Check out the new spike development atlas from our lab. Great resource for the wheat community and lots of beautiful images.

Congrats, @cristobaluauy.bsky.social!

We’re excited to announce the recent publication from our lab was featured on the cover of the plant biotechnology journal! It demonstrates an approach for precisely controlling wheat and triticale plant height. Read the full paper here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

In one year, I genetically engineered the boring Arabidopsis into a beautiful ornamental flower 🧬🌹

Here is how and why I gave this model organism a visual upgrade 🧵(1/7)
