Enjoyed presenting my PhD research at Slice of Science last month, a great opportunity to practice presenting to a broader audience of scientists in a friendly environment, would recommend! 😊
Thank you to everyone who attended last month's (spooky) Slice of Science, we saw excellent talks from Becca Testa and Matthew Neil. Hope to see you all at the next Slice of Science, scheduled for Friday November 14th! 🦠🌿🥼

I'm excited to share our work investigating transcriptional compensation in polyploid wheat 🌾
It was fun to work on this project led by @philippaborrill.bsky.social and myself, with key contributions from @emilieknight.bsky.social and @simmojsimmo.bsky.social
The key take-aways, a 🧵
