A small pixel of light after many days of grief. This work started when I returned to Israel, and it came to light alongside the understanding that there is no (safe) place but home. @Jan_de_Vries @HannesKollist nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/np…

@cutlersr @LabWheeldon @BeltranJBio @bvolkie @NusinowLab Extremally cool, a great tool for the ‘Spice’ wars.

Proud of this one. nature.com/articles/s4158… @LabWheeldon @BeltranJBio @bvolkie @NusinowLab

@Jan_de_Vries @uniGoettingen Good Job, Congrats!

Thrilled and humbled to announce that from today I am tenured professor at @uniGoettingen ! A big Thank You to everyone who supported me over the years, my colleagues and the Board for their trust, and of course my wonderful team 🙂

@AdityaV56913901 @cutlersr Good Job, Congrats!

The QC. Everybody likes the QC. It plays an important part in regeneration. But, does it really? And what does it do exactly? academic.oup.com/jxb/advance-ar…

@ReskiLab Thanks Ralf, Much of my evo-endeavor is due to warm welcoming to the moss community back in Freiburg 2004 (and ever since)

@AssafMoss Congratulations, Assaf! Well deserved.

Holy Moly, just got tenured

@XXXXMasa For Sure! cant wait...

@AssafMoss Congratulations! I'm looking forward to seeing you in ICAR2023 at Japan!

Do old genes learn new tricks? Maybe not. This collaborative work with Zach Lippman group shows that the ancient homeobox WOX9, thought to have species-specific functions, actually has a common deeply conserved pleiotropic role. @CellCellPress . cell.com/cell/fulltext/…

I was sure that AI is good just for games like StarCraft II and DOTA 2... guess not :) ‘The game has changed.’ AI triumphs at solving protein structures sciencemag.org/news/2020/11/g…

Our liverwort findings indicate that ACC was a plant signal for at least 400 million years. “Ethylene-independent functions of the ethylene precursor ACC in Marchantia polymorpha” by Li et al. (rdcu.be/b9c1b) News&Views: nature.com/articles/s4147…

We had a beautiful hypothesis about how auxin triggers root regeneration. It flows down from the stele and because it can't flow back when you cut the root it forms a new auxin peak. A simple and beautiful self-repair mechanism. The only problem was that it was wrong...
