Did you ever wonder why vascular plant shoots don’t terminate in sporangia like bryophytes do? I’m excited to be able to offer a 4-year funded PhD @BristolBioSci to find out! Project info on findaphd.com & please get in touch if you’d like to know more.
Celebrating comings and goings in the lab this week- a warm welcome to Xiaolian Wang who has joined us from Beijing to work on an HFSP origin of apical growth project and a farewell to Katie Jeal, who is moving on to work on awns at SLCU. We will miss you!
Celebrating Katie Jeal's thesis submission recently. Thanks to her 'can do' attitude and great work ethic, she has achieved so much more than I hoped at the start of her project on wheat receptor-like kinase function 🥳. Looking forward to next steps @KatieJeal17 #WomenInWheat!
Fab to be able to go to #SLS24 last week- thanks to the organisers. Loved hearing about @CaixiaGaoLab's and @oconnord's exciting CRISPR advances, lots of CLAVATA interactions and @moodytomato's moss screens to genes. Also great to see the club mosses in the garden 🤩.
Visited the fabulous Lamorran Garden at St Mawes yesterday. Pockets of Japan and the Mediterranean, beautifully tended, with a wonderful backdrop over the Carrick Roads. Layers of shade on a hot sunny day 💕.
