Just another emerging #lateralroot of #cucumber Grey channel - stained cell walls. Red nuclei - auxin maximum (DR5). A few orange nuclei (near the initial cells of LR) - green nuclei expressing promoter-reporter fusion (merged with DR5). #confocal #LSM780 #auxin #root

UK gov really out there saying postdocs are not allowed here 🫠

The utter meanness and shame of a nation saying we want a careworker to come and look after our elderly incontinent parents, but we won't let them bring their kids to live with them.

Isn't the discount the point of recruiting people for shortage occupations............?

I've contributed so much to the UK/The University of Edinburgh/University of York community through volunteering work over 8 years of my life while sacrificing time away from my own family, to be STILL treated like we're here to 'steal jobs'. Absolutely disgusted and disappointed. What a sad day.

This week, we welcome back the UK to the Horizon family. A win-win for global scientific progress. Starting from 1 January 2024, UK researchers will be able to participate in Horizon Europe 🇪🇺, the EU’s research and innovation programme. More info ↓

🌿🔬 Unveiled: Sustainable agarwood fragrances via synthetic biology & Green-bioprocesses. Analyzed 58 samples, boosted algae STP production. Solvent recycling for greener scents. #GreenBiotech #FragranceInnovation 🍃🌍 pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

Merry Christmas to all 🎄⭐️🎁looking forward to the next one because I’ll be done with this PhD misery 🔥 @tomleahneuro

Our research boosts sesquiterpenoid production 25x from algae, offering a sustainable alternative. Combining genetic engineering & green bioprocess, we’re reshaping chemical production, conserving endangered species & pioneering new methods in biotech. pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

Highly recommend working with Liz!!! This research project is plant biotechnology at its best 🍀🔥 Plantae ASPB

Just because someone gives you advice does not mean you have to take it. This is why it's SO incredibly valuable to have multiple mentors. n = 1 opinion is often insufficient to get the feedback you need to make big decisions. Thankful for my mentoring team 💚

Looking for new opportunities in 2024? My lab soon will have multiple openings ranging from postdocs (*4), technicians (*2) and PhD students (*4). Topics are around synthetic genomics in its broadest sense. Plz get in touch if you are interested!

BIG congratulations Nadra Tabassum,PhD 🔥❤️! You've been through SO much ups and downs throughout the 4 years but kept positive nevertheless. Super excited for you to be reunited with your partner+daughter back home now that you're #PhDONE! 🥳🥳 all the best to your future endeavours

Science wins! MEPs vote in favour of supporting greater use of New Genomic Techniques (#NGTs) in the EU. This is a huge step toward more sustainable agriculture. Thank you to everyone who has taken action toward this outcome. 💚🎉

#phdone 19.03.24 ✅ HUGE thank you to my family, partner Tom Leah, cat who didn’t approve of my printed thesis, examiners, thesis committee, Molnar Lab, everyone in Institute of Molecular Plant Sciences Darwin Trust of Edinburgh Biological Sciences | University of Edinburgh BTO who supported me throughout a very challenging 4.5 years 🥂🙏🏻🎉🙌🏻

Thank you everyone for the wishes 🥺💐🪻❤️ Couldn't have done it without the little things like bantering in the corridor, Institute of Molecular Plant Sciences community events, cake clubs, teaching, sharing reagents and many more 🍰 they help distract phd woes on bad days and keeps me going 🔥

Did something a little bit different with my design this time for a 'Sexy Science' article and love the complementary layout done by the Edinburgh University Science Media team! 😁😍 #scicomm

Another long chapter finally over 🌸! #PhDone So happy to see many people I know graduate alongside ✨ it's been a tough and tiring rollercoaster ride 🎢 HUGE thank you to my husband Tom Leah , family, friends and role models 🥰 Prof Thorunn 🇮🇸 🌿 Yanqian Ding Rist_vdw Institute of Molecular Plant Sciences

Also started a new chapter on the same day with Tom Leah surrounded with close friends and family who's been with us from day 1 🌸💐🌼🪷🥰 ! Credits to Liam Law for the superb photography 📸
