Immensely proud of Heather and @yang-brassicaceae.bsky.social for having led this work from conception to publication, connecting non-canonical ETT-mediated auxin signalling with canonical auxin signalling in #Arabidopsis and #Capsella @dev-journal.bsky.social
It is great to see our work published in Development as the cover! Click: doi.org/10.1242/dev....
Thanks Heather McLaughlin and all the authors for the great work and @larsostergaard.bsky.social for the endless encouragment and support!

I'm happy to announce a postdoctoral position is available in my lab. We have lots of great data to analyze with respect to transposons & epigenetics and cool biological questions to answer.
Please reskeet and share.

New Article: "Redox modification of m6A demethylase SlALKBH2 in tomato regulates fruit ripening" rdcu.be/d55UR

With Research Briefing rdcu.be/d55U8

This redox modification affects SlALKBH2 protein stability, thereby modulating its function in fruit ripening. #PlantScience

To mark the 40th year since the homeobox discovery, we've commissioned a series of articles from leaders in the field demonstrating the impact of the discovery on different disciplines. Check out the full collection: https://journals.biologists.com/dev/collection/10249/40-years-of-the-homeobox

On the left, my image. On the right, the Al image that was clearly trained on, and designed to plagiarize, my image.

All Al generated imagery is inherently theft. It's unethical, environmentally disastrous, and does irreparable harm to both artists and society.
