Thrilled to share that I’ll be joining @imbmainz.bsky.social in February 2026 to start my own group!
We will explore new mechanisms in eukaryotic gene expression, leveraging ‘evolutionary play’ to uncover how regulation, repurposing, and hijacking shape RNA biology.
PhD positions available!

Thrilled to see this out! SalicS is a beautiful new tool to monitor salicylic acid activation live in plants.

Kudos to @xanderjones.bsky.social and @bijuntang.bsky.social for spearheading this work and to @gesahoffmann.bsky.social at @mpi-mp-potsdam.bsky.social for using SalicS in viral infections🌱

Fantastic new paper by @reeserichardson.bsky.social et al.

An enormous amount of work showing the extent of coordinated scientific fraud and involvement of some editors.
The number of fraudulent publications grows at a rate far outpacing that of legitimate science.
