I'm proud to announce that our new pre-print is now online! This mechanism offers exciting new perspectives on how auxin signaling can be modulated in the Arabidopsis embryo. Were thrilled to see how these results might impact the understanding of auxin signaling.

Make no mistake this is a concerted and organised attempt to completely undermine science and expert opinion. This is Covid denialism on steroids and it’s on all of academia to see this for what it is and push back as strongly as possible

Not that this passes without being noticed: The GreenRobust cluster of excellence is officially alive since Jan 1, 2026! Looking forward to at least seven years of exciting science in the field of plant ecology, molecular biology, agriculture and the combination of all these fields. Stay tuned!

Nice view on my final day of my contract at @zmbp-tuebingen.bsky.social. Fog and a halo over the botanical garden made walking today worth it.

This is a fantastic article with a lot of simple explanations in it of everyday counterintuitive bullshit, just as you’d expect from Cory Doctorow. Yeah AI is a bubble. But what sort of bubble? Who puffed it up? And what do we do? www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

AI is asbestos in the walls of our tech society, stuffed there by monopolists run amok. A serious fight against it must strike at its roots

I'm thinking about this regularly. We need more people helping with science communication! A big disconnect between science and the general public contributes to how much influence disinformation campaigns can have on people. But how?

A manifesto for plant science education Alvey et al. 📖 nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/... Societal Impact Statement also available in French. #PlantScience @apaterlini.bsky.social @lizalvey.bsky.social @PlantTeaching.bsky.social @katharinehubbard.bsky.social

A framework for plant science education drawing together the five key themes. To cultivate the next generation, plant science education for the future must: Position plants at the centre of an education that addresses global challenges and societal values; Be enriched by local and strategic partnerships; Prepare students for their futures using bold and effective pedagogies; Give educators resources and opportunities to connect and develop; and embrace equity, diversity and Inclusion.

I've attended a keynote lecture of hers where she talked about her work and all the so-called strategies that are used to fake articles and results. Super interesting and made me look at publications differently. I highly recommend you check out her work!

This looks great in my opinion. Imaging these without the need of antibodies makes the analysis quite accessible. Maybe I should try this for myself sometime.

Viele Umwelt-NGOs haben sich vor über 30 Jahren entschieden, gegen #Gentechnik zu sein. Statt sich über die Jahre zu hinterfragen, betreiben sie die Kampagnen einfach weiter. Sie sind zum Selbstzweck geworden. @sciencenotes.bsky.social wirft einen kritischen Blick auf #Greenpeace & Co.

Viele Organisationen üben Kritik an der Grünen Gentechnik. Sie sagen: Es geht um den Schutz von Mensch und Umwelt. Stimmt das? Wie NGOs mit der Kritik an Gentechnik Geld verdienen
