Come be my science neighbor in the @LaskyJR lab!

@Dinnenylab Congratulations José! Well-deserved.

Dream come true! Honored and excited to take on this adventure in my scientific career. Our research on the mechanisms plants use to survive a challenging world now gets a huge boost. Thank you to my family at home and in the lab for love and support! hhmi.org/news/hhmi-inve…

The Penn State Biology department is also hiring at the Assistant or Associate level in ecology - feel free to message me if you're interested in joining our supportive community of biologists! psu.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/PSU_Academic/j…

An excellent opportunity for early career researchers to showcase their mechanobiology discoveries!

My amazing department is hiring in the area of evolutionary genomics (writ broadly) - feel free to message me if you're interested!

@MichaelRaissig @ASPB @ipmb2024 I think we should consider C emissions when conferencing - I'm prioritizing conferences that are close, limiting the # I attend each year, and contributing to a Decarbonization Campaign in my college to offset the emissions I don't avoid: give.communityfunded.com/o/annual-givin…

Unpopular opinion🚨 Half of the PlantBio folks flew to Hawaii for #PlantBio2024 @ASPB and the other half flew to Australia for @ipmb2024. Some fly from Hawaii to AUS to make both meetings. International in-person meetings are important but can we coordinate them geographically?

Stomata are both fascinating AND photogenic! Kudos to @leilaJfr and @ChenYintong, plus our collaborators, for the cover article! Cover art by @leilaJfr: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/toc/1365313x/2…

Excited to learn and share knowledge at the 2024 Gordon Research Conference on Multiscale Plant Vascular Biology!

Interested in plant-inspired robotics? Join us as Living Machines 2024, July 8-11 in Chicago, for a workshop on Plant-like Machines in Miniature: Adapting Plant Biomechanics through Soft Robotics! Website and graphic credit @AnulekaDutta. sites.psu.edu/machinesworksh…

🍃Join us to learn about the newly published paper ‘Architecture and functions of stomatal cell walls in eudicots and grasses’ in @annbot by @leilaJfr & @CAndersonLab (1/7) 👉 botany.fyi/v50pjd #AoBpapers #Botany #PlantScience

@scissorsfiend PS - kudos to @hancock_lab for being awesome collaborators and leading two of these papers!

Why are cellulases so slow? Check out this news article about our work to reveal the molecular mechanisms that inhibit the deconstruction of plant biomass for bioenergy and biomaterial production: psu.edu/news/eberly-co…. Thanks to @scissorsfiend for excellent science writing!

@StearnsLab That must be why I was drawn to studying cilia in grad school!🤚

Why are ~10% of humans left-handed? (🙋‍♂️) Exome-wide association study of rare variants in UK Biobank identified alleles of the beta-tubulin gene TUBB4B. Could be related to cilia function, which has been linked to other left-right asymmetries. nature.com/articles/s4146…

In @NewPhyt, Theodora Tryfona (@DupreeLab) and coauthors provide a better understanding of the molecular architecture of grass cell walls, opening new avenues to improve #cereals for food and the production of #bioenergy and #biomaterials. Read more: bioc.cam.ac.uk/news/opening-t…

A big congratulations to Ellen Zelinsky on passing her PhD defense today! Amazing work on polygalacturonases, cell wall dynamics, and plant development 🌱🔬👩‍🎓🥳 #phdonebubbleshower

Chapter 15 by @CAndersonLab: Shapeshifters - functional interplays between plant cell walls and dynamic, reversible shape changes in plant cells and tissues @huckinstitutes @penn_state @psulibs

Are you a PhD interested in applying computer vision and ML to biology? Apply by Feb 29 for a funded postdoc position in our collaborative NSF project studying the development and dynamics of stomata! psu.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/PSU_Acad…

Yifei Huang was my nextdoor neighbor and a delightful colleague. If you have the means and inclination, please consider supporting his daughter's education. Thanks.
