Don't give anything an Emmy until it's as good as this.
Absolutely delighted that our paper on epigenetic dynamics during plant aging is out today in Science!

It'd be good to chat Dan. I don't know the answer, but it'd be cool to pick the family apart as a next step and see if we can extend the phenotypes we have and find more.
With fantastic collaborators; Wenbin, @mdelucas.bsky.social @bradylabs.bsky.social, Shixue, Chunli, @apmahonen.bsky.social 😄
Given the described activators of cambium growth, we reasoned repressors were needed to balance the system. Here they are! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

The spines on Elaeis guineensis (African oil palm) petioles are the hardened midveins that remain after the lowermost leaflets senesce. Diabolical! 📷: Diane Bricmont CCBYNC4 #Arecaceae #spine #Botany 🌾🧪🌱

Hmm... might have been a bit soon for semi-dwarf varieties though..
Four panel comic with two figures: Figure 1: 'So how's mid-career?' Figure 2: 'Well... I wonder shy I get passed over for opportunities but am very afraid of taking them. I alternate between imposter syndrome and wondering why others can't keep up. I have the means and skills to pursue personal interests but not the time or interest to do so. I marvel at how far I've come and lament that I'm not further. I'm way more secure but worry about all kinds of things. I have the power to change the world but am far less sure it's worth it. So pretty good really?"
