Working title “Secrets of a Gene Body”:
In our latest preprint we provide evidence for largely cell-autonomous (sic) action of the brassinosteroid receptor BRI1, which is necessary across multiple tissues to drive root growth.

Beware of conference scams as the season approaches! Just dodged one from a 'travel agent' asking about my Utrecht trip in August. They look professional.

Our new lab's paper is out in ISME Communications:
This time, a work on evolution -

I just published: Seeking good karma — How I craft these blogs

For me, writing is all about the vibe; I need to feel that good karma vibe to be creative. This week, I hit a creative roadblock...

The latest pre-print from the lab is out! This was an epic effort over many years to make, verify, and experiment with lines in which we can close plasmodesmata outside of a physiological context. Turns out, plasmodesmal closure triggers a range of stress responses!

Please join us for a tribute symposium on May 17 to Philip Benfey, a luminary in plant biology. Details and Zoom link here: as.nyu.edu/departments/bi…
