1/2 Usually the sentiment behind #plantsgiving is to try to incorporate as much plant taxonomic diversity into your meal in one night. I did NOT make this a goal. Just cooking simple good food for me and ten others AND YET I am impressed by the diversity we served up!

We are at a planning retreat at HHMI and they made us Root & Shoot cupcakes! ❤️

Spent the week at @hhmi.bsky.social Headquarters strategizing with ROOT & SHOOT. What resources can we share across plant bio societies? How do we ensure the sustainability of recently implemented changes? How do we safely collect data on our memberships so we can identify community needs?

Intro! I'm Román. Postdoctoral researcher studying the evolutionary origins of the auxin response pathway. I think evolution can teach us about how molecular pathways evolve, facilitating the engineering of proteins to understand functions, create synbio tools, and modify development.

We will be hosting 3rd Full Circle Symposium for Native Biologists hosted at UCSF in April 2025! We aim to build community and provide meaningful opportunities for Native scientists. If you are a Native biologist who is interested plz fill this out to stay up to date: forms.gle/AN7nfkhdB3Fv...
Full Circle Native symposium flyer. It includes a Logo, the date of the event (April 3-4 2025), and confirmed speakers: Casey Dorr (Hennepin Healthcare Research Institute), Rebecca Pollet (Vassar College), Kat MIlligan-McClellan (University of Conneticut), Krystal Tosie (Arizona State University), Lauren W Yowelunh McLester-Davis (UW Madison).
 
It also includes that text: The goal of the “Full Circle” symposium is to create an opportunity for North American Native and Indigenous, Native Hawaiian, and Alaskan Native scientists to share their research, meet other scientists, and build community. The symposium will take place over two days at the UCSF Mission Bay campus in San Francisco. We will have talks from students, postdocs, and faculty and panel discussions on Native and Indigenous topics in the context of research.

It also contains a QR code that links to: https://forms.gle/AN7nfkhdB3Fvdkkm7

Wading into bluesky to celebrate #LisH domains! Did you know they do more than dimerize? They are also potent repressors of transcription. Román Ramos Báez @sensitiveroots.bsky.social, Jennifer Nemhauser and I explored this in our last paper.

Sometimes I just want to live my life in secret but then I remember that me posting the silliest things on Twitter is what got me speaking opportunities and other really awesome science opportunities the last few years. So cheers to sharing!

Hi! I'm Romi. I've finally decided to make my profile here. I love plants, yeast, evolution, ASR ... currently obsessing over the evolutionary origins of the nuclear auxin response.
