INTERVIEW: @annang_ruth, MSc Global Plant Health alumna, shared why leadership and communication training are vital for plant scientists, and how she is driven by the desire to battle misinformation through accessible science. Read the full interview: tsl.ac.uk/news/student-p…

New preprint out! 🚀 biorxiv.org/content/10.648… We mapped how septins organise infection in the rice blast fungus—and found they are far more dynamic than previously thought. Thread 👇 #FungalPathogenesis #CellBiology #septins

Gatsby Training Weekend 2026! Always a joy to learn from and be part of such a supportive network of plant scientists.

Our 11th (!) Preprint Pizza Party was a success! 📑 Students, postdocs and RAs from our lab and @JohnInnesCentre discussed recent @biorxivpreprint papers and enjoyed a pizza break 🍕 Stay tuned for the publication of our comments online! #PreprintCommentClub

Super excited to preprint this work and extremely proud of my team @TheSainsburyLab. Many thanks to fantastic collaborators @XiaoqiFeng_m @Tolga_Bzkrt and @Cerhou This work is spearheaded by the amazing postdoc Min Wang @Min_Wang6 Below is a thread 👇👇👇

Deep learning meets plant pathology. HFinder enables automated detection and digitization of plant-microbe infection interfaces from microscopy images. Preprint available on bioRxiv: biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…

The Ma lab celebrates the lunar new year early with hotpot, table tennis, and Mahjong 🀄️! And there is no better way to end the party with not only one but three cakes! Happy the year of horse 🐎🎆🐴everyone!

Ever wondered what it's like to work in research support at TSL? To find out, we asked Dr @Adeline_Harant, Senior Research Assistant in the @kamounlab, who told us about her career and her passions in and outside the lab. Read the full interview here: buff.ly/e6gGB7j

Spooky season has arrived! 👻 We held our annual Pumpkin Carving Competition at @TheSainsburyLab—vote for your favourite carve! 🎃🕯️

Citrus greening (aka Huanglongbing or HLB) is a major threat to the citrus industry worldwide. There is much work to be done to curb the effects of this disease, especially in the face of increased climate threats.

⚠️Excited to share my latest in @ThePlantCell🌱! We show that chloroplasts form membrane contact sites (MCS) with the pathogen interface to drive focal immunity, mediated by a tethering complex🔗! Full story 👉 doi.org/10.1093/plcell… #PlantScience #PlantImmunity

Another Preprint Pizza Party has come and passed! Students, postdocs and RAs from TSL and @JohnInnesCentre gathered to discuss and review recent @biorxivpreprint articles 📝 Pizza kept the spirits high during this challenging task 🍕 #PreprintCommentClub #PreprintPizzaParty

TSL's great fun day out playing Monopolize with @kdmevents

Today is my first day as an Assistant Professor @NTUsg @ntusbs, after ten rewarding years working with my wonderful mentors @talbotlabTSL @wenboEffector and colleagues @TheSainsburyLab

1/ Last week we had the pleasure to share our passion for plant biology at the #RoyalNorfolkShow 🌾🌽 Huge thanks to the STEMM Village and our TSL volunteers! @jne_yang Kim Wood @shaniakeh @NickDesnoyer @HsuanPai1 Phon Green @strachan_shona @SiyuSong3 @Adeline_Harant

We’re ready! And we have a LIVE reporter today 😆 #RoyalNorfolkShow2025

A lovely day at the Royal Norfolk Show! Super thankful to everyone who came and listened to us talk about cool plants and pathogens :)
