Starting off Day 3 with a nutritious breakfast while chatting #plantsci at the #SLS24 Early Career Researchers' Breakfast with Invited Speakers. Thank you everyone who joined us bright and early 🌞

The grand finale - Keiko Sugimoto Lab.'s Keynote! Keiko's enthusiam for new discoveries in #plantsci is inspiring! Revealing multiple ways plants reprogramme cell fate in regeneration. Intriguing new findings to be published soon! Visit the Sugimoto Lab at csrs.riken.jp/en/labs/cfurt/…

Thank you to everyone who attended, supported and helped organise & make #SLS24 happen! The next Sainsbury Laboratory Symposium will be held in 2026! Please share suggestions for themes/topics for #SLS26 by replying here or via email to [email protected] See you in 2026 👋

I had an amazing experience! Feeling much more motivated, totally in love with plant developmental biology, and very happy that I could meet all these inspiring people. 💛 Also, the best vegan food I had in a scientific event. 🌱
