Plants are fun, autophagy is fun, and teaching is fun 😊 thanks for having me @solyclior.bsky.social
This week in our Practical Plant Genetics course, we had the pleasure of hosting Tamar Avin-Wittenberg as a guest lecturer 🌿👸 @taw-lab.bsky.social
She guided our students through the fascinating world of autophagy, unveiling its mysteries and vital roles in plant development and stress responses.🌱✨

My PhD mentor and scientific dad, Prof. Gad Galili, passed away yesterday. He was instrumental in shaping me into the scientist I am today. On top of raising us to be good scientists, he emphasized the importance of being good people in this crazy profession.
I am very sad and forever grateful.

I'm a bit biased, but this is a great opportunity 😀
Looking for talented, motivated people to join me!
We will try to uncover how plants disassemble the photosynthetic apparatus in senescence and fruit ripening, and uncover the mechanisms governing chilling injuries post harvest.
I promise that it will be interesting and fun.

Still looking for an excellent plant microbiologist to strengthen our team this new year. Please share far and wide, and happy new year! #plantscience #phd
Really excited to receive state funding with the aim of using ethylene-modulating bacteria to improve root stress resilience in plants. It was a team effort, and I look forward to what we can achieven together with our consortium in the next years! #plantscience

Our department waited 99 years for the right social media platform to show up
About our header photo: the first members of the department, then known as the 'Systematic Botany Branch' Alexander Eig, Naomi Feinbrun and Michael Zohary getting some work done at the herbarium. Missing from the photo is Otto Warburg, department founder and director at the time.
