Mark your calendars!
More than 100 scientists (39 PIs, 24 Postdocs, 34 PhD-students & 5 sponsors) from 9 different countries (China, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Israel, Italy, Japan, UK, USA) participated to the international ICIPS Symposium (25-28.03.2025) in Berlin.
Thank you to all of you !
"… watching these students, I am reminded how transformative that moment can be when someone finally sees in you what you could not yet see in yourself." #ScienceWorkingLife https://scim.ag/46GFzAr
It's great to see this work finally out! @newphyt.bsky.social
Here we showed that auxin production after fertilization is a conserved, paternal-triggered mechanism for seed initiation in angiosperms.

During the first Poster Session of the International ICIPS Symposium, we saw a lot of discussion ... almost everyone commented on the posters
Our work on chromatin evolution in brown algae is now published in @natecoevo.nature.com! We show that developmentally complex brown algae evolved without epigenetic silencing pathways long thought universal, underscoring why non-model lineages are important to study. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Project Hail Mary is a beautiful brilliant film. But molecular biologists be warned there's a deeply disturbing scene midway through when Ryan Gosling's scientist places two eppendorfs directly next to each other in an otherwise empty unbalanced microcentrifuge & sets it spinning with wild abandon.
