- Reposted by Dolf WeijersThe Laboratory of Biophysics at Wageningen University & Research (NL) is looking for a new chair! Details here: www.wur.nl/en/vacancy/f...
- www.wur.nl/en/vacancy/f... Become our new colleague (and next door neighbor) and lead a chair/group/department of Biophysics at Wageningen University. Reach out to me for info and please spread!!!
- Reposted by Dolf WeijersA new webinar series is born - ''MechanoBioTalks - Mechanics, Materials and Living Matter", to bring together and inspire researchers interested in biomechanics, biophysics and biology across different kingdoms of life. Join us! For info and registration visit green-te.nl/activities/
- Don’t miss this! The young researchers in our GreenTE consortium initated a webinar series on Plant Mechanobiology. Amazing speakers, free of charge, what is there NOT to like…?
- Reposted by Dolf WeijersSave the date: Plant Development PhD school (i.e. Retzbach 2.0) in Neustadt, Germany. Sept 23rd-25th, 2026 ~€350 all inclusive Excellent speakers and a relaxed atmosphere for early-career researchers (PhDs & postdocs). Registration opens soon.

- Reposted by Dolf WeijersMy lab is hiring a postdoc (ERC funded)! If you're interested, get in touch!
- Aspiring PhD candidates: do not miss this opportunity to join a great mentor and awesome project!!! Bonus: it is in Amsterdam
- We are hiring! There is a PhD-position available in my group on environmental signal integration in plants. @swammerdamuva.bsky.social More information: werkenbij.uva.nl/en/vacancies...
- Reposted by Dolf WeijersA new study from the @maizel-lab.org, @dolfweijers.bsky.social, and @roelandmerks.bsky.social labs starting to unravel a role of SOSEKI proteins in cellular mechanosensing.
- New preprint! SOSEKI polarity proteins are mechanoresponsive integrators linking growth and tissue mechanics during lateral root formation. Their polarity marks growth boundaries and reorganises in response to mechanical alterations —reshaping how we think about axis formation. tinyurl.com/28p7af2w

- Showtime in Brussels 😳. Wish us luck!!!
- Recently, both our team and the Richardson/Estelle/Strader teams showed that ARF transcription factors are actively degraded. In this new preprint, Martijn de Roij explores the requirements and relevance of ARF degradation (1/7)
