Fantastic last seminar before his well deserved retirement by Philippe Reymond @unil.bsky.social on the signaling immune responses following insect cell deposition on plant leaves. A technical tour de force & exciting findings.
Our beautiful special issue on plant evolution is out @currentbiology.bsky.social !

"Our results highlight a general systems mechanism: Well-intentioned problem-solving can produce self-reinforcing inefficiencies."
Check out this cool new preprint by @willshaw.bsky.social from the Gehring and Khalil labs about the optimization of T-DNA vector backbones to achieve predictable and stable (over)expression in Arabidopsis

Congrats to my former PhD student, @louisefougere.bsky.social, for getting the @sbcf.bsky.social PhD price 2026. Presented at the SBCF general assembly today 😍
I won't pay $4,000 for a ticket to see my Knicks play in the NBA Finals for the first time in 27 years, but for some reason I routinely pay three times that much for open access to papers that I wrote myself.
🚨Job alert 🚨
There is still some time to apply!
Join us as a W3 professor in sunny Freiburg and take part in our bright plant science community!
Looking forward to meeting you! :)

This work nicely quantifies a major issue in our universities: "In higher education, administrative costs have risen much faster than instruction and research costs (4). MIT Faculty grew by only 9.2% between 1985 and 2023, while administrative staff grew by 189%." www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...
