Congrats to @robertoskar.bsky.social for passing his PhD viva last Friday, investigating the role of mobile signals in ‘vaccinating’ plants against diseases!!🥳🎊🥳 Many thanks to examiners @jurriaanton.bsky.social and @drannisr.bsky.social !!
Plants use cell-surface and intracellular receptors that collaborate to detect pathogens🦠. We discovered that a key #ubiquitin recognition event recruits both receptor types into an unexpected dual receptor complex that boost the translation of defence proteins and establishes robust #PlantImmunity👇🏾
Congrats to @tamatar.bsky.social for passing her PhD viva with flying colours, studying the role of diverse ubiquitin topologies in plant immunity!!🥳🎊🥳 Many thanks to examiners @djgibbs.bsky.social and Lucas Frungillo!
New publication! My report in @hepi-news.bsky.social looks at racial equity in UK higher education, and finds that even in TEF Gold institutions there are large awarding gaps and serious underrpresentation of Global Majority staff #HigherEducation #Equity www.hepi.ac.uk/reports/maki...
We were delighted to welcome Steven Spoel @spoel-lab.bsky.social to Cologne. Thanks to the @sfb1403.bsky.social for supporting his invitation. We learned a lot about ubiquitin chains and their role in plant immunity 🤯.
1/2 This manifesto is the result of a collaborative effort started earlier this year at the Plant Biology Education conference in Lancaster, UK.
We are delighted to see it out and we are proud that our Comms team contributed to such an important resource for the community! 🌱

Why do scientific societies matter now more than ever?
Scientists board explore how societies support researchers, foster global collaboration, & shape the future of science. A must-read for all career stages 👍
