Maarten

Hello again! Here's our piece from Sunday about Twitter. Bye! youtube.com/watch?v=p7ZG_x…

Ik ben al een maand aan het proberen een afspraak te krijgen om mijn @proximus te laten verhuizen. Na meerdere annulaties zonder reden, noch communicatie, hoop ik dat ik hier misschien wel iets hoor? Ik zou graag internet hebben ...

Yes. We have been growing in greener pastures under a blue. sky for a while. (@ kuleuvenplantinst)

🔥🌱If you want to read more in-depth posts about our plant science @LeuvenPlantInst (LPI), please consider following us on LinkedIn where we can write longer nuanced posts and where we can give our scientists a platform to talk about their work in full: linkedin.com/company/ku-leu…

Een zee van planten die klaarstaat voor het #Nerdland festival! We zullen de boel wat extra komen opfleuren!

#seminar: how to predict #fruit ripening? Using mathematical modeling! 🍅 📈 At @LeuvenPlantInst seminar series earlier today, our group’s Jakub Šalagovič presents a novel modeling approach to predict fruit #ripening. @LeuvenPlantInst @biosystkuleuven @KU_Leuven #research

"Anticipate, acclimate, reanimate" 🌱 Why is flooding harmful for plants? Today, we listened to an amazing talk by prof. @R_Sasidharan from @UniUtrecht, explaining how an intricate spatio-temporal system coordinated by ethylene and ROS helps plants to cope with flooding stress.

Vandaag bezocht ik samen met @kvanbrempt en @brunotobback het KU Leuven Plant Institute @LeuvenPlantInst. Bedankt voor de open en constructieve discussie over een beloftevolle gentechnologie zoals CRISPR! 🌽🧬✂️

🌿#Throwback to the origins of the #BotanicalGarden of @stadleuven! From a humble teaching garden in 1738 to a cherished haven with 4,500 plant species, the 'hortus botanicus' has flourished alongside @KU_Leuven's quest for knowledge and nature's beauty. stories.kuleuven.be/en/stories/the…

My lab is recruiting a postdoc on an FWO/FNRS funded project. Interested in researching how secondary metabolites from beneficial bacteria trigger immune responses in plants? Apply here: kuleuven.be/personeel/jobs… @lab_php @CropBioLeuven @LeuvenPlantInst @biosystkuleuven

Join the online @plant_gene workshop on how to start with gene editing in crops this Wednesday!

🎉 Congratulations to Sarah-Maria Fendt (@FendtLab @vib_ccb) for receiving the @AACR Award for outstanding achievement in basic #cancer research! Read more about it here 👉 vibbio.tech/4bQV0Ha

Do you know that cauliflower, broccoli, cabbage and kale are, in fact, the same species? Wonder what driver morphotype diversification between them? Check publication @NatureGenet from scientists at CAAS and @GuusjeBonnema @WUR nature.com/articles/s4158…

📢 Aan aardbeien-, tomaat-, of sla-telers! 🌱 Doe mee aan de enquête van het "VIGOROUS" project over #biostimulanten uit microalgen in de #landbouw. 5 min van je tijd biedt ons waardevolle inzichten. Jouw anonieme bijdrage is essentieel voor ons onderzoek. forms.gle/gtURKFSwssWN5K…

Science wins! MEPs vote in favour of supporting greater use of New Genomic Techniques (#NGTs) in the EU. This is a huge step toward more sustainable agriculture. Thank you to everyone who has taken action toward this outcome. 💚🎉

🚨BREAKING: Over 1,000 scientists in 14 countries hold historic demonstrations in support of gene editing. The scientists are urging MEPs to back New Genomic Techniques (#NGTs) ahead of a crunch vote in the EU parliament tomorrow. Please like and share if you believe in science! Press release: weplanet.org/post/ngt_demon…

European scientists say it's time to vote YES to #NGTs! Support science, support #NGTs 💚 #GGAC #CRISPR #agriculture #GeneSprout @tomvdkendelaere @Frederiqueries @guyverhofstadt @hildevautmans @kvanbrempt @marctarabella @OChastel @Europarl_EN @weplanetint
