How many plant species are buzz pollinated? After more than six years in the making, our paper on the convergent evolution of buzz pollinated flowers is out in @journal-evo.bsky.social. Thanks @draverbee.bsky.social @roszenil.bsky.social and all co-authors for your hard work! doi.org/10.1093/evol...
Un cactus con flores amarillas creciendo entre piedras
Cómo no voy a ser persistente en algo si las plantas que estudio crecen y florecen así.
I’m proud to present the main work from my postdoc, 3+ years in making from scratch, my ultimate #MimulusPropaganda up till now:
The Moment

A word cloud made from flagged terms in terminated NIH grant proposals. The most prominent words in large font include “trans,” “diverse,” “diversity,” “minority,” “sex,” “expression,” “mental health,” “gender,” and “women.” Other visible terms include “LGBTQ,” “racial,” “underrepresented,” “disability,” “barriers,” “black,” “equity,” “health equity,” “vaccine,” “bias,” and “intersectionality.” The word cloud highlights terms related to identity, inclusion, and marginalized communities.
HAPPY PRIDE 🏳️🌈
Under Trump, research using terms like “Trans,” “LGBTQ,” & “Gender identity” is being defunded. These terms reflect real people who deserve science that includes them.
Stand with us to protect LGBTQ+ science from political erasure.

Planting the Seeds of Change: Communicating Science with Purpose. An online student-led symposium series, featuring Dr. Molly Edwards. We’ll discuss best practices for short-form video production, explore different formats and approaches, and workshop your own ideas for videos. You’ll come away with actionable steps for producing your own video that stands up for science, and we plan to stay in touch after the workshop ends to help each other amplify our videos when they come out. May 13th, 8-9am PDT / 11am - noon EDT. Open to all, come be a part of it!
Join us for an exciting Student Symposium workshop featuring Molly Edwards, PhD @science-irl.bsky.social. It's an interactive workshop on science communication, focused on short-form video production. May 13th 11am EDT.

Proud to present the first data paper from the lab, published today in @pnas.org.
We describe a new mechanism for CLE peptides as local symbiosis-amplifying signals, promoting plant interactions with beneficial arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi.
Congratulations @sagarbashyal.bsky.social et al.!

🌱 When a root cell undergoes symmetric division, are the daughter cells actually identical? By combining live-cell imaging and scRNAseq we discovered a new cell state with uneven BR activity. Read our full paper in Cell: doi.org/10.1016/j.ce... @nvukas.bsky.social @trevormnolan.bsky.social
