Super proud of this new paper! Thanks @lizalvey.bsky.social, @apaterlini.bsky.social @katharinehubbard.bsky.social for embarking us on this journey. It is one of the most collaborative papers I have been involved in and I hope that serves as reference for education in plant science @kent.ac.uk

#PlantSciEd Now we are hearing about a citizen science project from Silvia Manrique, @tank-silvia@bsky.social. Studying crosstalk between reproduction and environmental stress in eggplant, the "LeMa" project (length matters). Teachers and students grew eggplant in various conditions.

Silvia stands at podium in front of her slide, which says, "LeMa . A study of crosstalk between reproduction and environmental stress in eggplant that integrates citizen science and education in plant biology.

1. I feel like this is such obvious advice that it gets taken for granted & consequently no one says this to young scientists but READ PAPERS, read all the papers. As you move up in your career you will have less & less time to do this. Read everything that appeals to you not just in your field

I have a YouTube playlist (10 videos) for #MolecularBiology for my undergrad interns in the lab. www.youtube.com/playlist?lis... I usually have my interns watch these videos to get introduced to the basic concepts before I go show them how to in the lab.

A screenshot of first 5 videos of a molecular biology YouTube Playlist: 1) PCR, 2) Gel, 3) Restriction Enzymes, 4) Plasmid, 5) Gibson assembly.
