New paper from the Green lab showing that thermal imaging can be used to measure circadian rhythms in plants non-invasively, allowing measurements of genomic and microbial controls over the circadian clock. Congratulations Felista Nalufunjo on your first PhD paper!

Thermal imaging as a tool for studying circadian rhythms in roots
Circadian studies in plants have largely focused on shoots, leaving the root clock and its role in plant–environment interactions poorly understood. We present a thermal infrared imaging platform tha...

Aharon has dedicated much of his career to studying extremophiles in the Dead Sea and elsewhere. We are so glad to see this very well-deserved recognition.

New from the Keren lab! This study identifies a conserved regulatory program in cyanobacteria that links nutrient limitation to coordinated shifts in metabolism and photosynthesis. Congrats @nir-keren.bsky.social and all authors!

1/3 I am very excited to tell you about our latest work where we looked not only into sea anemones but also 🪸 We find in #Nematostella that stress induces not immunity, but also viral replication, actually much faster than the immune response! 🧵 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Quick reminder: we don't have algorithm on here, so if you see something interesting, please not only like, but also repost. We have agency over what our network can see on their timelines by simply reposting, and I think that's a good thing. It's great.
