And ready for the last day of the conference SEB @sebiology.bsky.social I am very excited to watch this panel of 100 years of SEB plant! #SEBconference

I've presented again! I always am nervous but always en up having fun when doing it 😁 #potato

Our durum wheat developing endosperm transcriptome is now published! :) We've added some extra comparisons to the hexaploid wheat transcriptome and some qRT-PCR. Many thanks to all involved! bmcplantbiol.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

What an incredible group of proud scientists we have across the Norwich Research Park park Norwich Pride 🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ we are very lucky to share this space with them from Quadram Institute John Innes Centre Earlham Institute The Sainsbury Laboratory UEA Norfolk and Norwich University Hospitals

Last week the Seung Lab PhD students from John Innes Centre attended the annual Plastid Preview taking place at the beautiful New College in Oxford. Two talks and a poster represented our starch research. So proud of Rose who won best talk for the conference! #starch

It was a pleasure to talk about the future of potatoes and the potential of precision breeding to deliver healthier potatoes with improved quality to consumers. Let's make it a reality! #FoodSecurity #potatoes

My potato plants are in the video! And so am I... But what is more important is the precision breeding act. Defra UK opening the doors towards improved agriculture. Excited to see the future of this! #agriculture #potato

What a week for our new policy placement student Aston Saini! Day two and he's already meeting the Farming Minister. Read his news story here: jic.ac.uk/news/defra-min…

It is Pint of Science time! Tomorrow kicks off three nights of fun, chilled, and accessible science talks. Please join me tomorrow as I will host the first night of events with two fascinating talks. Get your tickets below! #pintofscience pintofscience.co.uk/event/finding-…

Second talk of our first night, Mia Berelson from Earlham Institute is blowing our minds by teaching us how to identify plant diseases from sequencing... wait for it... The AIR! 🤯reindeer Pint of Science UK #pint24

My favourite part of Day 1 of #pint24 had to be our high octane syringe filtering race! Thanks to @BridgeEdmund for putting it together 🧪🥼 Some very exciting potato activities for tonights's event incoming... Pint of Science UK Earlham Institute

Kicking off the second day of Pint of Science UK ! Particularly excited because I'll be talking about #starch and #potatoes in a bit 🙌🏼

Learning all about the dinner of tomorrow tonight with lots of fluffy friends #pint24 Pint of Science UK

The Sainsbury Laboratory Thomas Navarro Pint of Science UK John Innes Centre For a light hearted activity we asked for some volunteers to “poop the potato” beautifully demonstrated by @BridgeEdmund

It's done! How fun was it to talk about #starch! Thank you so much Pint of Science UK for the opportunity and thank you to the very engaged audience. Proud to represent John Innes Centre

Learning about the "new kid on the block" aka Artificial Intelligence. Closing Pint of Science UK festival with this hot topic! Our second presenter is the head of computing science at UEA, Beatriz de la Iglesia, who's giving us a great.crash course on AI. #computing

What a fun time I had at presenting my poster for #PlantBio2024 by ASPB. Standing up with joy for my diploid potatoes 🥔 Proud to represent the John Innes Centre and NRPDTP all the way in Honolulu, and connect with wonderful scientists across the world.

What an exciting opportunity to take part at #NoCaSS2024 representing my PhD potato research from John Innes Centre Happy to have chaired a talk session, present a poster, AND win the poster prize alongside my labmate Ciara O'Brien ciara-obrien.bsky.social Great time to be part of the Seung lab.

I hope everyone enjoys a fabulous Easter Break, and that you are all looking forward to an amazing Slice of Science on Friday 25th April! Come listen to talks from Thomas Navarro of the JIC and Ryan Cook from QIB! The session will be held in the BCRE Lecture Theatre 🧪🥼🦠🐰

With the pressure of the thesis building up it was really nice to take a small break and give a talk at #plastidpreview2025 Always happy to give diploid potatoes a moment to shine. The Seung and Webster labs strongly representing John Innes Centre
