Interested in cellular #circadian rhythms? Check our new preprint on environmental and circadian effects on the #spatiotemporal #proteome of a model eukaryotic cell. #Ostreococcus @SBSatEd @InstMolPlantSci @ResearchersAtEd, with @ONeill_Lab at @MRC_LMB biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

The cellular landscape of most eukaryotic cells changes dramatically over the course of a 24h day. Whilst the proteome responds directly to daily environmental cycles, it is also regulated by a...

Seleno... what? Another one bites the dust for @Holly_algae @InstMolPlantSci @SBSatEd mdpi.com/2073-4409/11/3/340
Environmental and Circadian Regulation Combine to Shape the Rhythmic Selenoproteome

Environmental and Circadian Regulation Combine to Shape the Rhythmic Selenoproteome

The circadian clock orchestrates an organism’s endogenous processes with environmental 24 h cycles. Redox homeostasis and the circadian clock regulate one another to negate the potential effects of...

What an amazing day hearing talks from my fellow third-year PhD students at today's @InstMolPlantSci symposium! Hearing about topics from Begonia leaf development to the chemistry of the cell wall. And to top it all off I won joint best presentation with @Lindsayplantsci !😱😁

Black ppl have historically had a relationship w/ plants (i.e. embodied knowledge) but there are few #BlackBotanists. This #BlackBotanistsWeek lets ask what's pushing #BlackBotanists out of academia? In honor of Day 3 #BlackPlantLove "New growth" @DeeLaSheeArt & N. Waheed poem

What is #BlackBotanistsWeek? 🌳🍂🌼 blackbotanistsweek.weebly.co…
White background with black writing. What is #BlackBotanistsWeek? Black Botanists Week is a celebration of Black people who love plants. This plant love manifests in many ways ranging from tropical field ecologist to plant geneticist, from horticulturalist to botanical illustrator. We embrace the multiple ways that Black people engage with and appreciate the global diversity of plant life.

Woopwoop!🎉A little delayed for the #BlackBotanistsWeek but here I am!👩🏾‍🔬I study how plants can survive without water🌱💧➡️#desiccationtolerance. This is found in many seeds and a few plants called #resurrectionplants.*the 2nd pic is an @home experimentation🤓orchid pollination.
