No matter how advanced you become in bioengineering, the rake awaits us all. The most important thing to do in this godforsaken field is to learn deeply from failure, maintain intellectual humility, and speak up about your struggles. You never know who is out there ready to help.

Amazing work by the Santiago lab @unil.bsky.social. The malectin-LRR receptor kinase IGP1 senses cello-oligomers to alert the plant immune system & enhance disease resistance. Very nice discovery & mechanism.
