Introducing the 1,000 Flower Collection 🧬🌹

I’m creating 1,000 genetically designed flowers each crafted with new colors, patterns, and shapes.

Here’s how I’m making it happen… and how you can join me on this journey 🧵(1/7)

🍻 19. und 20. Mai: Beim „Pint of Science Festival“ am 19. und 20. Mai in Düsseldorf wird Forschung der HHU hautnah in der Kneipe erlebbar. Dann wird im Café „DIE FLIESE“ (Oberbilk) und in der Bar Konvex (Flingern-Süd) an der Theke nicht nur Bier gezapft, sondern auch Wissen. 1/3

Abundant clock proteins point to missing regulation in the plant circadian clock www.embopress.org/doi/full/10.... first experimental determination of the abundance of transcription factors in Plants and for the circadian clock. It was such a challenge but finally out after peer review !!!

Correlation VS. Causation

To honor this occasion, we asked three of our female scientists at CEPLAS to share their perspectives on the significance of this day and why advancing women in science remains essential. #WomenInScience #IDWGS2025

it's actually extremely funny that we were told we can't use Wikipedia for research in the early 2000s but Wikipedia may be the only reason we even have a somewhat coherent historical record of culture and events from the last 25 years or so and will probably be needed to create future history texts

#PlantScienceClassics #6: The T-DNA. In a 1977 paper, Mary-Dell Chilton & colleagues identify the Transferred DNA (T-DNA), the bit of DNA that Agrobacterium tumefaciens inserts into the plant genome, to kick off the race toward the first transgenic plant. doi.org/10.1016/0092...

#PlantScienceClassics #7: The ZigZag Model. 15 years ago @jonathandgjones.bsky.social & Jeff Dangl published their review integrating Pattern/PAMP-Triggered Immunity (PTI) & Effector-Triggered Immunity (ETI) into one unified model of ‘The plant immune system’. doi.org/10.1038/natu...

It’s not just the royals who photoshop. #KateGate #Beautification link.medium.com/CKUDWRQGSHb

Come for the information, stay for the beautiful figures!
We hope it can encourage people to create their own eFP-viewer!
