- Reposted by Heike LindnerDear @dfg.de So, I will spend months writing a grant and you will let people judge it with AI tools that are trained on predatory journals like Frontiers, MDPI or alike that are practically not peer-reviewed??? Is this how you will select cutting edge science??? #idiocracy
- Reposted by Heike LindnerHave we been overstating the role of transposable elements in adaptation to local or rapidly changing environmental conditions? Happy to share my (somewhat unpopular?) opinion paper on this matter: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... Thanks to those who already shared the link!

- Reposted by Heike LindnerFormer COS scientist @heikelindner.bsky.social secures an SNSF starting grant to study the role of succulent anatomy in CAM photosynthesis. Congratulations!
- I am beyond thrilled (like the screaming and jumping type of thrilled) that my SNSF Starting Grant was funded. I will start my own lab @unibe.ch next year, studying succulent anatomy development and if and how this anatomy is required for efficient CAM photosynthesis in different Kalanchoë species 🌱
- Reposted by Heike Lindner🌵 So proud of my fav scientist in the world 🌵 Thrilled to see what will come of this super innovative project dissecting how leaf succulence is built and how it affects CAM photosynthesis! Congrats @heikelindner.bsky.social and the Kalanchoë team!
