Hello, San Diego! 😎 #RNA25, here we go! 🙌

It is sad that even basic research needs to be defended with utility. For me, basic research is in the same category as art: civilized societies can't do without it, because we all want to know who we are and what our place in the natural world is -- questions that only science can answer.

"A teaching and training framework to promote findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable (FAIR) data generation in agriculture"
Excellent, free, online curriculum!! This is so needed.
Please share widely.

New Article: "Regulation of alternative splicing by CBF-mediated protein condensation in plant response to cold stress" rdcu.be/ecusw

CBF TFs facilitate the formation of SKIP nuclear condensates to increase the splicing efficiency of cold-responsive transcripts. #PlantScience

Equinox day. The equinox is not what you think it is (repost from the Society for Research on Biological Rhythms www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-...

“This is what birding is about. It’s not just about seeing the birds, it’s about seeing the birds in their natural habitat — and it takes you to spectacular, beautiful places like this.”

Christian Cooper says it perfectly. 🪶

If you are a scientist in the global south and are interested in joining our team as a postdoc on a project to adapt agriculture to climate change, consider this funding opportunity from the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation. Contact me if interested.
