Happy Thanksgiving week! It was a busy year. But, we managed to publish 7 excellent episodes of #No_Time_To_Read podcast! Next year/season, Olivia @corylus_L will be the co-host with me and we aim to publish more episodes. creators.spotify.com/pod/show/no-ti… ashraflab.com/science-outrea…

How to write a grant? 1. Write it for the reviewer, not you, the applicant. 2. Communicate in stories. 3. Make your story cohesive—leave no puzzling gaps. 4. Make your story resonate to keep the reviewer reading. 5. Accept chance and noise in peer-review. pnas.org/doi/epub/10.10…

🔬☘️ Using single-molecule tracking, authors studied the dynamics of 6 Arabidopsis plasma membrane proteins and showed that cytoskeleton limits the diffusion of plasma membrane proteins @PlantPhys doi.org/10.1093/plphys…

Last few days to apply (applications close Dec 2).

Freaky Flowers Volume 3!🌸🧬 Did you know that just a few mutations can transform the Arabidopsis flower into all kinds of forms? 🤯 Here’s a tour of 6 mutants that orchestrate floral development and architecture 🧵

Death of a flower ☠️🌹 Without ventilation, my flowers' petals crumple and abscise, likely due to ethylene buildup in the timelapse box. It is interesting how the flower behavior reflects the plants health and can evoke emotion.

AlphaFold can predict protein, DNA, or RNA complexes.. BUT is it easy to determine the reliable interactions?🤔 ➡️ AlphaBridge will identify the most confident interactions, making your analysis easier! 🌐Try it here: alpha-bridge.eu 👀Read more: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

What began as a cute idea last year is evolving into a project with exciting potential for research, education, and art. Can’t wait to share updates and unexpected discoveries here and in my talk at @TheSainsburyLab next Monday! 🌹
