“If we didn’t have plants, we’d still be fish!” 🐠🌱🌍 Our keynote @PlantTeaching gave an amazing talk, taking us from photosynthesis to evolution, development and physiology… Through aliens 🛸 What an inspiring way to end #nbiast2025 @JohnInnesCentre @TheQuadram @EarlhamInst
Today I had a great time attending a writing workshop led by Mary Williams (@PlantTeaching). I came away with many tips for writing papers, a greater understanding of the peer review process and I enjoyed our discussion about AI and writing 📝 🖥️

Perfect timing to announce @plantpostdocs #Sahyadri Outstanding Postdoc Award 2025 during National Postdoc Appreciation Week #NPAW2025 🎉Congratulations!! Erica Lawerence-Paul, PSU Penelope Lindsay, OSU Elena K. Perry, LBNL
Congratulations to the 2025 Sahyadri Outstanding Postdoc Awardees:
We congratulate our MSc Global Plant Health students on successfully completing the course. It's been a pleasure witnessing their progress over 12 months - a great investment from the David Sainsbury Scholarships
🌱💡 Did you know nuclear pores do more than let molecules in & out? Our new study shows they also act as control hubs for pri-miRNA transcription & processing! "The nuclear pore complex acts as a hub for pri-miRNA transcription and processing in plants" academic.oup.com/nar/article/53…
On this #postdocappreciation week we want to thank our postdocs, who joined TSL from all corners of the world to help us make incredible scientific discoveries. You make our lab awesome!
Incredibly honoured & excited to be awarded one of the @royalsociety’s new Faraday Discovery Fellowships - this means SO much, huge thanks to everyone who has contributed, supported, & encouraged! Loads of mycorrhizal research @sheffielduni to come! royalsociety.org/news/2025/08/f…
We learned a lot about plant cell wall mechanics by stretching the Arabidopsis epidermis. Now published in @NatureComms Fibrous network nature of plant cell walls enables tunable mechanics for development doi.org/10.1038/s41467…
It was fun putting this vignette together with Malcolm Bennett et al......@ThePlantCell What do we learn from Arabidopsis for Crop Innovation? academic.oup.com/plcell/article… @IISERPune @DBTIndia @IndiaDST Thanks Shuang, it was great working with you on this
An analogy is getting the skills to build cathedrals. At the start, much about physics & properties of stone was poorly understood. Result: -Some cathedrals collapsed (e.g. Beauvais ⬇️) -Architects & masons learned -Learning took *centuries* -“Stay humble, biodesigners” @SynBio1
do think discourse on engineering biology would benefit from fewer platitudes about the complexity of living systems and more informed optimism about our inevitable path to break down, understand and rebuild organisms
