And they won!! Congrats team Umeå and particularly congrats to @manju-mhj.bsky.social!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉 It was like watching the Eurovision Song Contest but much better!!
Watching your 1st PhD student reach their half-time seminar is something else🥹Klaudia is an excellent scientist and a reminder that progress is a steady, purposeful process: one step after another, until you stand up and tell your story with real care and enthusiasm. So proud of how far you’ve come🌱
Want to support Manju and the Umeå delegation or just enjoy a fantastic science contest? 🎙️🔬 Tune in to the EC2U Science Contest live from Turku right here:

Register now for the 2nd webinar in our new series on quantitative plant imaging, hosted by @ajcellbio.bsky.social & @joemckenna.bsky.social. In this webinar we’ll hear from @laurabacete.bsky.social on Brillouin microscopy & @sventruckenbrodt.bsky.social on expansion microscopy.
🗓️16 July, 15:00 BST
And to close the day, we’re watching live the EC2U Science Contest from Turku, with our PhD student Manju representing the Umeå delegation on stage! Go Manju! 🏆🔬 (3/3)
"If 100 people apply for one job, 99 will fail" –and it's not random who those 99 are. Great interview on women, failure, and who academia sometimes feels built for 👇
The 1st #PlantWallK meeting brought together 80+ researchers. Cell biologists, physicists, biochemists, modellers, all converging on 1 structure: the plant cell wall. Two days of talks, posters, and cross-disciplinary debate later, the collaborations are set. The work begins! #PlantBiology #CellWall
Assist Prof, Umeå Plant Science Centre 🇸🇪| Project leader, NTNU 🇳🇴. Researching plant cell wall dynamics, interested on how living tissues adjust their physical state. Talking science, worries, and opinions (my own). De Las Pedroñeras, como el buen ajo

🧵 It’s happening! The #PlantWallK kick-off meeting is officially underway in sunny Prague 🇨🇿 Over the next 2 days, researchers from across Europe (and beyond!) will come together to push the frontiers of plant cell wall science. Stay tuned for live updates! #PlantWallK26 #COSTAction

“What if failure isn’t a personal shortcoming, but a structural feature of academic life?”
In @ecrLife, Dr Marina Cano and Dr Rosa García‑Periago discuss "Women, Failure and Academia."

What looks like individual failure is often structural. This book names it. But lately I have been thinking about collecting and sharing personal stories to make systemic inequality visible. Because some things that "don't happen anymore" are just invisible to some eyes.
