Look what I found outside! Catharanthus! I also found this white flower petunia and is slowing developing purple pigmentation.

Thanks to everyone who came to my PhD defense and following art exhibition! It was an amazing day I will never forget :) Pictures of the presentation, committee exam, and exhibition in the thread🧵

レゴブロックで「クルマエビ」を作ったよ。

古来より日本で食されてきた大型のエビ。
昼は天敵の魚から隠れ、夜に貝などを食べるんだって。
まるまった姿が車輪に見えるのが名前の由来。
大きさで名前が変わる出世エビで、サイマキ、マキ、クルマ、オオグルマと変化するそうです。

I observed what appears to be an embryo growing off a detached kalanchoe leaf.

I have to also trim/remove kalanchoe clones every week so that they don’t take over my shelf. 😂 They grew a lot of clones.

Trim flowers every Monday morning. They look really nice.

It’s crazy to realize that I have the same number of 1st author papers(3) already from 3 years of postdoc as 6 years of my PhD. The difference is I have 3 mid author papers from my PhD, but just 1 from my postdoc.

Following our field's inspiring history of building synthetic receptors, here we share our lab's first attempt at a post-transcriptional one. Based on ADAR-editing and compatible with various inputs/outputs.

We created a new technology to examine plant transmembrane proteins: Plant Membrane-On-A-Chip. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

I am glad to share our latest work in collaboration with Dr. Yi Sui on the establishment of genome-editing system in broomcorn millet (doi.org/10.1111/jipb.1…). It is a series of works since we have been working on this orphan crop.

I finally need to buy a new -80 freezer. What’s the most reliable these days?

The mustard greens I got this week has strongly thickened stems and leaves that curl to form a ball or head at the apex, similar to that of a cabbage.

🔬 I'm looking for postdocs to join us as we employ cutting-edge techniques like single-cell genomics and spatial transcriptomics to study these questions. Interested in pushing the boundaries of developmental biology? Apply here: bbe.caltech.edu/jobs/postdocto…

🌱I'm thrilled to share that I will start my lab at Caltech in the Division of Biology and Biological Engineering this August! We'll investigate the cellular dynamics that drive organ development, focusing on the critical transitions between cell proliferation and differentiation
