Thank you so much! ☺️ Meristems are just really fascinating structures, every time I look at a plant, it is striking to think: All of these tissues, the entire plant, develops due to the coordinated and dynamic activity of this tiny bunch of stem cells..

Our lab just invested in yet another reason to do more quantitative image analysis 🔬📈🚀
I just can’t wait to work with this computer! 🥰

I really like that herbicide-tolerant plants are supposed to be exempt from the NGT1 category :) hopefully, this will encourage a focus on developing plants with other traits for more sustainability 🌱

Das Wetter ist fantastisch und meine Freund*innen und ich haben beschlossen, einen gemeinsamen Rundspaziergang zu unseren jeweiligen Wahllokalen zu machen.

I had a fantastic time participating in yesterday’s panel discussion—thank you so much for the invitation, @rensingstefan.bsky.social and @ottlab.bsky.social! ☺️
A big thank you to all panelists for the great discussion, and especially to @carogutj.bsky.social.

Someone offered me some fun Arabidopsis reporter lines from their lab and I wonder: would it be impolite to say that I would like them all? Hoarding more fluorescent reporters than I could ever image seems to be my new obsession 😅

Christmas-time questions:
A) Why does raw Christmas cookie dough taste ten-times better than the final, baked cookie? 🎄
B) Why do I get a stomach-ache after eating 100g of cookie dough but not after eating 100g of cookies? Is there a way to make raw cookie dough easier to digest without baking it? 🍪

Today was a special day in the lab for me! 😊 When I learned about antibodies, I couldn't believe that there are some that specifically bind proteins with certain posttranslational modifications. Back then, I was particularly amazed by antibodies against RNA Pol II with different phosphorylations.
