🚀 Today we're launching the 'Night Science Institute', a non-for-profit organization to lead a cultural shift in science! You may say we're dreamers 😉, but we think we're not the only ones. Perhaps today you will join us to make the Day Science and Night Science parts of the process live as one!

Over the last couple of years I have been writing individual chapters of what I call

𝗔 𝗦𝗵𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗛𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗦𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲

Each chapter covers a specific, basic, but for some reason special and interesting aspect of #PlantScience research.

Have a look here 👇🧵

Really enjoyed being among the speakers of this year! It was a great experience presenting on plant iron nutrition in a cafe 🌱🧬. Thanks to the organisers of the event 🙌. #pint25DE #pintofsciencede

🎉🎊We had 2 fantastic Pint of Science Days #pint25DE in Düsseldorf! Thanks a lot to all our speakers, volunteers and participants! Already looking forward to next year!

At various reproductive stages, young rosette leaves are supersensitive to iron deficiency - growth is inhibited very rapidly and gene expression and metal contents change, see Mary's revised preprint at www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

This #InternationalWomensDay I want to tell the story of Lilian Vaughan Morgan. I learned of Lilian this past year - what a badass.

Lilian was a leading scientist when women weren't welcome in the lab, nor even the department. But she contributed immensely to the genetics of sex determination

A great opportunity for ECRs interested in public outreach and science communication. I can only recommend after participating.

Do you know Daisy Roulland-Dussoix? She is one of the discoverers of restriction enzymes, who’s findings paved the way for the development of recombinant DNA and cloning technologies. Accordingly, the finding was rewarded with a #NobelPrize. But the prize didn’t go to her.

Hey guys, I made a starter pack containing all the @ceplas.bsky.social researchers I could find on Bluesky. Let me know who's missing!
