- Today is #HolocaustRemembranceDay. In the current political climate it is even more important we stand still and remember victims of #fascism and #intolerance. #NeverAgain
- Few more days until the abstract submission deadline for Fungal2026 (4th of December). David Canovas and I are chairing the concurrent session 'Sensing and signalling'. ECR scientists working on fungal sensing and signalling are encouraged to submit their abstracts. genetics-gsa.org/fungal-2026/

- Reposted by Frank MenkeI am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy. I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.
- If you are at the annual @sebiology.bsky.social meeting in Antwerp next week, consider session C4 Open Cell. I'll present our work on signal transduction in #plants and #fungi using quantitative #phosphoproteomics. Full program is here👇 www.sebiology.org/events/seb-a...
