He’s back and always brings the party with him! Sean Cutler joins us this evening at #CSHLplantcourse to show how chemical genetics offers a powerful approach for elucidating small molecule regulated signaling pathways in plants. #FTPS22

How do we go from data to knowledge? Nicholas Provart @bar-plantbio.bsky.social is here to guide us through a treasure trove of tools for exploring and visualizing our datasets! #FTPS22

Even plant scientists need a break! Enjoying some sweet summer vibes with beaches and bbq! #FTPS22 #CSHLcourselife

Immunity is a pretty hot topic these days! Did you know plants have immune systems too? Xinnian Dong Dr. Xinnian Dong is here this morning to guide us through landmark experiments that have shaped our understanding of how plants defend against pathogens! #FTPS22

Plant cells will undergo cell death to help quarantine infected tissue. Under the expert guidance of @SophiaZebell, course students are taking a peek into this process by measuring the ions cells leak out when undergoing this process! #FTPS22

Time for some sightseeing! This evening, Emmanuelle Bayer is showing us scenes so small that we can’t use visible light to resolve them. With high resolution electron microscopy, we’re illuminating the world of plant cell plasmodesmata! #FTPS22

Complex and multilayered gene regulation underlies the amazing diversity of multicellular life! Today, julia serres, Roger Deal, and their teams are teaching us TRAP and INTACT to capture DNA and RNA from specific cell types, giving us a peek into these regulatory networks. #FTPS22

A surprise guest lecturer, Henry from the lab of Ullas Pedmale #FTPS22

We’re moving from lab to laptop! Assistant director of the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory DNA Learning Center, Jason "boundless delight " Williams is here today to teach us data management, python skills, and most importantly, how to make your terminal look really cool. #FTPS22

Turns out plants have pretty busy sex lives! For successful fertilization, male and female gametophytes must communicate with each other to make contact. (And they don’t need dating apps to do it!) @shazarita is here to give us a peek into this process. #FTPS22

#CSHL courses are great for networking— literally! Brady Lab Siobhan Brady is here today to share her lab’s work on stress response regulatory networks, and show us how to visualize them on our own with Cytoscape! #FTPS22

The beauty of plants inspires our art, culture, and even our science! Rob Martienssen guides us through Barbara McClintock’s historic studies on transposons as well as his own lab’s discoveries in plant epigenetics. Featuring a rare look at McClintock’s original colorful corn!

Scientists can’t just post their work on twitter. (at least not yet! 😉) We have to publish in peer reviewed journals! Chief editor of Nature Plants Chris Surridge is here to give us a look into the mind if an editor and demystify the publishing process. #FTPS22

Great weather for the annual course picnic! #FTPS22 #CSHLcourselife

Time to START unlocking the secrets of leaf development! @AmanHusbands is searching for the lipophilic ligands of HD-ZIPIII protein START domains! #FTPS22

After 9 days of science from 9 to 9, we’re in need of some serious TLC. Luckily, @AmanHusbands shows us his skills in ThinLayerChromatography and lipid extractions! Maybe we’ll find some ligands for down-regulating those stress pathways! #FTPS22

We’re on a boat! ⛵️😎 #FTPS22 #CSHLcourselife

Scientific publishing is necessary, but the current system far from perfect. How should it change? Tonight, Chris Surridge and the course discuss the hard questions. #FTPS22

The possibilities are infinite! Today, Dave Jackson Dave Jackson showcases the pluripotent potential of some truly aMAIZEing meristems! 🌽 #FTPS22

Plant cells like to hide their secrets behind thick walls, but we have a solution(of enzymes) for that! In one of our most challenging labs ever, protoplasting pro Jack Xu of the Jackson Dave Jackson lab guides us on our quest to single-cell sequence maize roots! #FTPS22
