Had lots of fun presenting my work at #SoapboxSciene Tübingen yesterday. I talked about natural diversity, plant immune genes and how I use the former to find the latter. Explaining my research to the public was definitely an exciting challenge. Huge thanks to the organizers and all the helpers! 💜

Science beats the heat! Last Saturday, our researchers @najafae.bsky.social and Gesa Freimann took to the streets for @soapboxscience.bsky.social in Tübingen, bravely presenting their work to a great crowd despite the temperatures. Thanks for bringing science to the public!

1/11 🔥 New preprint alert 🔥 We wanted to know what plants in the wild really care about. So we asked them 🎤. Here is what we learned: “Biotic-response networks are an important organizer of the transcriptome in wild Arabidopsis thaliana populations” www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

This work started nearly 10 years ago and was once my main postdoctoral project at @plantevolution.bsky.social before I slowed work on it to a trickle because it became confusing. But it always remained extremely interesting. journals.plos.org/plosbiology/...

A major trade-off between growth and defense in Arabidopsis thaliana can vanish in field conditions
In controlled greenhouse conditions, Arabidopsis thaliana plants with a hyperactive allele of the ACD6 gene have stronger pathogen defenses but are smaller and make fewer seeds, in a classic fitness t...

Was great to see #Pseudomonas, #microbiome and #phage enthusiasts alike stopping by my poster at the #2025ISMPMI on Tuesday! I wish I'd had more time to meet you all :)

Nature lovers at the #2025ISMPMI will be pleased to learn that earlier today, the Confex Hall Butterfly (apparently an Aglais io) was safely captured by me and released to the flowerbeds outside. Pictured here, feasting on my honeyed tea dregs before flying away.
