Very pleased to see this work from the group out in The Plant Journal - led by PhD student Diana Ruggiero from the Leiboff group, a truly collaborative project, addressing the question: how often does pollen genotype influence spatial patterns of inheritance? onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
Breaking news: Indiana University plant microbiologist Roger Innes has been locked out of his laboratory by the school in response to a request by one of his federal funders. The move comes after Innes complained about the government’s prosecution of Chinese postdocs. https://scim.ag/4tsDqRr
📣 We are now accepting applications for the second Plant Synthetic Biology Hackathon! 📣
Check out this unique opportunity to learn the newest tools and approaches in plant engineering! Hosted by Nicola Patron and myself as part of the Plant Cell Atlas RCN, July 12-13, 2026 at MIT.
CSHL Professor Dave Jackson is joining the likes of Charles Darwin & Albert Einstein as a Fellow of the Royal Society.
The Royal Society recognizes and supports excellence in science and encourages the use of science for the benefit of humanity.
