👏 Congrats to postdoc Lanxi Hu, member of @roederlab.bsky.social, for being selected as the 2025 Weill Institute Fleming Fellowship recipient, for her research on how plant tissues keep their shape under stress and how those insights inspire adaptive design. 🌱 🧑🔬 news.cornell.edu/stories/2025...
Just emailed them and they do accept plant RNA, if you are ok with just getting the raw data and work on the analysis your self 😊
Exact same reaction here!
