So I just learned from
@kjfeeley
and
@rileyfortierii
that 1) there is a plant that mimics other plants' leaf shape, and 2) that is plant is even able to mimic the shape of *plastic* leaves?!?! 🤯🤯🤯 Plants are simply the best!
I am very excited to share our review article: "A rulebook for peptide control of legume–microbe endosymbioses"
@TrendsPlantSci
This is the first outcome of an entirely virtual collaboration with
@SonaliRoy_
, whom I can't wait to finally meet in person!
This has been long overdue, but I am more than happy to announce that I will be joining the biology department

as assistant professor in January 2021.
Our Current Opinion in Plant Biology review is out! Read about the complex relationships of microRNAs, hormones, and peptides necessary for regulation of arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiois.

Our review paper on CLAVATA signaling in plant-environment interactions is now published in Plant Physiology!
Congratulations to first authors

I have to admit it took me a while to adjust to online conferencing - but now I really enjoy the possibilities to chat with the speakers of the

I liked some things about the online conference, e.g. accessibility, chat questions -> less intimidating. But I missed real interactions with people! Networking is so important and it just does not work the same way online. I had the impression that a lot of people felt that way.
Am I now eligible to join the microscopy group 😂? I'll use the comments to improve the image's attractiveness. AM fungi are cool 👏

I feel like in the US a lot of people use it unironically. At least that’s what I want to believe 😆 I was quite confused in the beginning because I only knew the hypocritical version before.
I can only recommend applying for the Assistant Features Editor Program 👇👇👇 You'll get to read and write about exciting science, work with the amazing

staff, and meet fellow plant scientists.
