This week, Jana, Manuel, Ahel, and Peter participated in the Young Researchers Meeting (YRM) at the IEB 2026 conference @iebcas.bsky.social, where they presented their research.
It was a lifetime experience to see the "northern lights" in Olomouc, especially through a microscope above an Arabidopsis root. 🌌🌱😄

Lego flowers? Lego submarine? Lego Batman?
Nope. The only right use for them are these special holders for barley seedlings for our new Spinning Disc Confocal Microscopy from @the.3i.social !🔬
This is just one of the many ingenious holders Peter engineered for imaging happy barley seedlings!🌾
📢We are pleased to welcome Tereza Kratochvílová to our team. She will be Eva's @evadt.bsky.social first Ph.D. student, working primarily on the role of SUMO signaling in DNA damage sites. 🧬
We hope Tereza enjoys her time here and does well.

Our group is attending the Plant Genome Stability and Change Meeting 2026 at Wuhan ! ☘️
Ales (@apecinka.bsky.social) gave a talk on how condensin mediates resistance to genotoxic stress, and Eva(@evadt.bsky.social) presented her research on the role of SUMOylation in DNA-protein cross link repair.

Proud and happy to have contributed to the Arabidopsis thaliana genome reannotation as the only scientist from the Czech Republic. Accurate annotation of model plants like Arabidopsis is essential for advancing plant biology, functional genomics, and future crop research. 🌿 @iebcas.bsky.social

Doing the periodic cleaning of used plasmid miniprep columns and realized in honor of Earth Day it may be worth reminding you molecular biologists:
Plasmid miniprep columns can be cleaned and reused essentially indefinitely! Just add 1 M HCl, soak overnight and wash 3x w/ water. Save $ and plastic
