To my all friends: I’m partially recovered & feel nervous to present our latest work in an upcoming international plant immunity Conf in Sanya. Thanks to all the supports I received from my family, friends, mentors and colleagues during this difficult time. Look forward to seeing some of you soon!

Nothing can make me happier during my long-term sick leave than receiving this thankful e-mail from my former MSc intern. This has been the sixth MSc student who started their PhD journey after training with us @unileiden.bsky.social #proudPI #ECR #STEMeducation

🎉 Small milestone to share: Our work has now passed the final correction stage and is moving forward to publication. I am super grateful to everyone involved — my team members, collaborators, and reviewers. Stay tuned for the final version soon! #academiclife #earlycareer #science #plantbiology

Yesterday we had another diligent master’s student Thijs defended his thesis with us @unileiden.bsky.social. We had a farewell for him. He is taking the good spirit with us to become a high-school biology teacher in the future! Wish you all the best!
