Well deserved!
Looks like fantastic work!
🌿 Excited to share our latest preprint!
We tracked how plasmodesmata numbers evolved across the path from C₃ → C₄ photosynthesis in Flaveria - and found a stepwise increase in cell-to-cell connectivity.
Thoughts or feedback are most welcome 😊

Amazing, congrats @mafesenko.bsky.social! Super well deserved!
Deeply saddened by the news that David Stephens died last night.
David was an outstanding cell biologist based at Bristol whose work spanned #MembraneTraffic #cytoskeleton #ciliogenesis + more. He was “one of the good guys”. Kind, supportive, generous with his time, and rigorous about his science. 🧪
