Joanne Chory is awarded the Wolf Prize for her contributions to plant developmental biology that have paved the way for current novel work and major advances in understanding processes key to crop improvement: light signaling, hormone signaling, shade avoidance, flowering time,

Another non-Arabidopsis talk by Eline Eggermont, also from the WUR in the Netherlands! She will tell us all about chloroplast development and retrograde signaling in Physcomitrium patens #YRSPP2024

Our second to last speaker is Alessio Baldini from the Università degli studi di Milano in Italy! He will tell us about how he is trying to unveil the role of an epigenetic component in the light perception of Arabidopsis thaliana! #YRSPP2024

And there we are, the very last speaker of the #YRSPP2024 😢 The honor is for Beatrice Pacenza from the CRAG in Spain! She will be speaking about a gun screen in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii to unravel chloroplast-to-nucleus retrograde signaling #YRSPP2024

We want to thank all the participants and speakers for making this an amazing #YRSPP2024 ! We hope you enjoyed yourselves just as much as we did, and can’t wait to see you all in Edinburgh in 2026!!!

Hello, #Alberts, my old friend... Getting ready for another round of teaching at Wageningen U&R! #MolCellBio

We know it can be challenging to get funding to attend #ResearchMeetings. That’s why we’re offering #bursaries to attend our #SyntheticBiology conference! 💶 #SynBio24 Get access to the latest knowledge and networks in #SynBio. 📎 More info: bit.ly/3uuK7tM  #Biotech

#Inclusion, #diversity, & #equality are crucial aspects of our lives & have become integral in academia .This topic holds great significance,as it has deeply impacted my life.I have often felt the weight of not fitting in & feeling "different“ #AcademicChatter #DEI 🧵(1/6)

If you are attending #ICAR2024 and want to learn more about this program, please find me! I will be at all the morning plenaries, so coffee break or lunch would be a good time to chat!

Academics are fighting the mental-health crisis in science with "unique initiatives", such as: - Mindfulness and meditation courses - Mental health webinars - Painting bootcamps - Yoga workshops What else should we try?
