Yesterday, we celebrated the 9th #ZMBP PhD Symposium, where our PhD students (and some from @mpi-bio-fml.bsky.social) presented their work as chalk talks, posters and longer talks. Thanks everyone for the scientific discussions on #plantscience!

The BM^2 Lab is hiring a Ph.D. student to work on a variety of problems connected to modeling of morphogenesis in plants (i.e. ovule curvature formation, fixed handedness establishment in certain plant organs and its link to cell wall mechanics).

Grateful to all that came to my poster at #2025ISMPMI this week 🌱
This was not an easy story to present, but the support and discussions were great and made this a journey worth telling!

Hey #2025ISMPMI! 🌱
We ofcourse all aim to do great & successful science!
However, it doesn't always work out the way we hope, but we rarely hear about those stories..
So let's change that!
Find me at my poster P-102 on Tuesday and let's discuss "failed" science, and what we can still learn from it!

Can BIR proteins link PTI and ETI?
Using AlphaFold & evolutionary insights, we dive into how BIRs balance immunity with CSA1 as a key regulator of cell death & receptor complex homeostasis.
