🐛 Rising from the earth: Europe’s first ever #soil law was published in the EU’s Official Journal today! 🎉
After adoption of the #SoilMonitoring Law in October, this marks the final milestone of the process and opens the door to implementation.
A first step in the right direction for our soils!

I started to work on MscS-Like proteins 20 years ago, dreaming that they were involved in plant mechanotransduction. And it is becoming more & more clear that they are!

Out after peer review, collaborative study from Nordborg & Weigel labs with help from many others. Not the largest collection of new Arabidopsis thaliana genomes, but we hopefully put forward some good ideas for how to think about pangenomes and their analysis!
