Inheritance rules can be outdated and inflexible - not reflecting modern realities - leading to family conflict, uncertainty, & injustice. Dorota Miler will examine creative solutions offered by rules in Central Europe. 👉 buff.ly/yswA8Ik 🇪🇺 #ERCStG University of Gdańsk

Our article “Time-dependent bistability leads to critical slowing down during floral transition in Arabidopsis” is now published in @natcomms.nature.com. Link: rdcu.be/fBZ3S. What an exciting collaboration with the Coupland lab! @mpipz.bsky.social @ceplas.bsky.social #PlantDevelopment #criticality
