NSF announces a new branding page. "You shared your feedback — we listened!" WTF content.govdelivery.com/accounts/USN... At the end of FY 2026, NSF has made 6218 awards compared to 11,387 average in previous years. Thx @grantwitness.org If you're listening NSF, how about doing your job?

Graph of NSF awards for FY 2021-2026 showing that at the end of FY 2026, NSF has made about half the usual number of awards.

Happy to share our newest preprint. We developed guidelines and analysis workflows for FLIM Imaging in plants. Multiplexing with spectrally overlapping fluorophores in plants is now possible. Have a look. Any feedback is more than welcome. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Doing the periodic cleaning of used plasmid miniprep columns and realized in honor of Earth Day it may be worth reminding you molecular biologists: Plasmid miniprep columns can be cleaned and reused essentially indefinitely! Just add 1 M HCl, soak overnight and wash 3x w/ water. Save $ and plastic

I wouldn’t put it this way for research, as science isn’t about winning. But I also returned last week from China with similar sentiments about Chinese prowess. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/10/o...

How do plants elongate in shade? This morning @scourbier.bsky.social (from @plantphotobiology.bsky.social) revealed how shade boosts TOR activity and how TOR and auxin signalling tightly interact to drive hypocotyl growth in Arabidopsis. A talk that filled the room! 📅 Nov 14 | 🕥 10:15 #PlantScience

I started to work on MscS-Like proteins 20 years ago, dreaming that they were involved in plant mechanotransduction. And it is becoming more & more clear that they are! #plantscience 🧪 "DmMSL10 is crucial for mechanosensing, facilitating AP firing by generating a receptor potential (RP) amplitude."

Sir. Respectfully. The USDA hasn't issued grant decisions since January 2025. How exactly are we, the scientists making these advances, being supported?
