The image is an announcement for a new publication from the MSU Plant Resilience Institute. At the top, a green banner displays the title "NEW PRI PUBLICATION" in bold white text. Below is the paper title in white over a textured green background: โVariability in drought gene expression datasets highlights the need for paired physiology and community standardization.โ Two circular headshot photos on the left show a man and a woman. To the right are six bar charts in a grid depicting various data related to plant resilience. Each chart has a title: "Plant age," "Environment," "Media," "Stress duration," "Mechanism of drying," and "Paired physiology datasets." Text at the bottom, states: "VanBuren et al., Plant Physiology (2026).โ Logos for Michigan State University and the Plant Resilience Institute are at the bottom left.
How comparable are plant drought studies, really? In a new @plantphys.bsky.social paper, a team of Plant Resilience Institute scientists, led by @bobvanburen.bsky.social, reanalyze hundreds of drought gene expression datasets and introduce new ML tools. #PlantScience

First, a kidney for a close friend. Then part of her liver for a child sheโd never met. Anh Nguyenโs rare journey as the first double living organ donor at UC San Diego Health reveals how one personโs generosity can transform multiple lives, including her own. โก๏ธ https://bit.ly/4ap2anm

Holy shit: it's an RFP for the NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology (PRFB). Hello old friend www.nsf.gov/funding/oppo...
I started offering career advice to two junior colleagues today in separate meetings, and both times I caught myself thinking that, if I'm honest, I don't have very good advice on navigating the current funding and job climate. I think it's important to say that no one does.
Lovely
Does the winter weather have you day dreaming about the beach? Register for AUXIN 2026 and join us in the Algarve, Portugal on Oct 4-8th for all things auxin :) This meeting only happens every four years, so don't wait...
An Arabidopsis leaf-infection assay with Alternaria alternata showing lesions on Col-0, defenseless (abi1-1 coi1 eds1 ein2 rbohD sid2) and cyp79b2b3 plants. The lesions are worst on cyb79b2b3, intermediate on the defenseless plant, and least on Col. Similarly, plants infected with Pseudomonas syringae show strongest susceptibility in an eds1 sid2 background, medium susceptibility in defenseless, and least in Col.
Interesting that a ๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ง๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ด๐ฆ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ด๐ด mutant (๐ข๐ฃ๐ช๐ฃ-๐ฃ ๐ค๐ฐ๐ช๐ฃ ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ด๐ฃ ๐ฆ๐ช๐ฏ๐ค ๐ณ๐ฃ๐ฐ๐ฉ๐ ๐ด๐ช๐ฅ๐ค) is less sensitive to fungal infection than a ๐ค๐บ๐ฃ๐ฉ๐ซ๐ฃ๐ค/๐ฃ๐ค mutant (Similarly, ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ด๐ฃ ๐ด๐ช๐ฅ๐ค is more susceptible to bacterial infection than the ๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ง๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ด๐ฆ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ด๐ด).
