Plant science community, are you looking for conference speakers, editorial board members and reviewers, collaborators, mentors and candidates for positions and awards? Please check out our database of African plant scientists and plant science organizations.

My lab at Howard University is recruiting graduate students for Fall 2024. Please, share and RT. I will be in the ASCB meeting #cellbio2023 next week (Dec. 2-6) in Boston. Candidates are encouraged to DM/email me to talk in-person during the meeting.

Here's an ad I created for the openings in my lab! Note: while the application deadline for the program is Jan 15, please reach out to me sooner (by Dec 29), before filling out the official application and paying the application fee

Accompanying this will be the Plant and Microbial Cytoskeleton GRS for ECRs co-chaired by me and Livia Songster - registration for both GRS and GRC open now!

A new study from Tsiantis lab MPIPZ Cologne. We show that CUC1 acts as a polarity switch & provides instructive input into PIN1-auxin-based leaf marginal patterning that regulates leaf shape. Congratulations to all authors! These beautiful sectors.. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Avery is a postdoc in my dept at GT, someone I know personally. She nearly died because doctors could not treat her miscarriage until she was actively dying- a direct result of anti-abortion laws in GA. VOTE, canvas, donate- do whatever you can, or this is coming nationally.

Super-impressive work and detailed cell biology study 🔬🍀 Microtubule plus-end dynamics are tightly coupled to the turnover of the MOR1 polymerase bioRxiv Plant Bio from Geoffrey O Wasteneys Geoff Wasteneys's lab. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

The final chapter of my thesis is out with great collaborations from Wasteneys lab members (past & present)! Thanks Geoffrey O Wasteneys for pushing it through the finish line.

Professor Era. Proud of you Teagen Quilichini
