Antagonistic interactions between CLAVATA receptors shape maize ear development https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.08.04.667500v1
delighted to share work from my postdoc @cshlnews.bsky.social - here, we use TurboID in maize meristems to be able to resolve CLV receptor interactions, unlocking its potential to resolve in vivo receptor interactions important for meristem signaling.

had a blast visiting @aribidopsis.bsky.social and Coralie at UBC! So nice to connect with other early career researchers in plant science 🌱
It was really wonderful for us to host @penlindsay.bsky.social Penelope today. One of the BEST Fridays from the lab to remember for a long time.
Thanks for making your time to visit us 🌽🔬😊

had an amazing time at IFMB in Wuhan. Met with old colleagues, made lots of new connections and won the best presentation award! Science is at its best when we can foster international cooperation!

Yes, New College is incredibly inefficient but it also dropped 60(!) spots on the US News & World Report rankings. Not easy!
Everytime Chris Rufo is introduced as an impt voice in higher ed, remember that the one time he had a hand in running an institution has been a disaster.
Competence matters.

You'll be shocked to learn New College of Florida is on the brink of implosion just a couple of years after DeSantis engineered an extreme right-wing takeover
Fun fact: NCF's new overlords spend $134K per student (!!...the average at other FL publics is $10K) www.insidehighered.com/news/governa...

Spending Soars, Rankings Fall at New College of Florida
Student outcomes and rankings are slipping at the liberal arts college while spending is up. Critics believe the college is at risk of implosion, and some are calling for privatization.
