- 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/
- #Voting by post in the #Dutch Parliamentary #elections. In these difficult times exercising democratic duty is more important than ever. Voting for a inclusive and fair government that tackles the #climatecrisis and emphasizes #education.

View full threadGuys I know this is serious but come on it is a bit funny that the envelopes are bright orange :-)
- We Dutch are very fond of the color Orange. Sending a Dutch Expat an Orange return envelope makes it almost irresistible to use it and therefore vote. 🇳🇱
- Very greatfull to work with this brilliant and diverse bunch that make up the #proteomics team @thesainsburylab.bsky.social. #Awayday. 🇨🇦🇫🇴🏴🇬🇧🇵🇭🇬🇭🇨🇳🇨🇿🇩🇪🇳🇱

- By far the scariest pumpkin this season!
- I love it, expats to the rescue! Bringing it home for D66. They got my vote for dure.
- *sure
- Spooky season has arrived! 👻 We held our annual Pumpkin Carving Competition at @thesainsburylab.bsky.social —vote for your favourite carve! 🎃🕯️
- Brilliant carving ! 5 most spooky, 17 most original. Special mention for 10
- That’s a wrap for #PPRM2025. Great science, wonderful community and amazing location. Glad it all went smoothly and big thanks to @jackrhodes.bsky.social and @draegermarkus.bsky.social for helping organize the meeting.
- PPRM2025 ECR poster prizes sponsored by @nature.com awarded to @rebeccaburkart.bsky.social and Bruno Smet and ECR talk prizes sponsored by @gpsep.bsky.social and @biologists.bsky.social to Ann-Katherine Roesling and Irene Guzman-Benito
- Next PLANT PEPTIDE AND RECEPTOR MEETING will be in Muenchen in 2026 organized by @julien-gronnier.bsky.social and friends. #watchthisspace
- On my way to #PPRM2025. First time I am attending this conference and very much looking forward to gather with this community to which I now also belong to 🤓
- Welcome to the party (community)! Safe travels, see you soon
- Train journey from Norwich to Edinburgh for #PPRM2025. Looking forward to be immersed in everything plant peptide receptor signaling!
- Wish I could have been there…
- Yeah, we have a great program, but I believe you send Aaron?

- Reading @harukimurakami.bsky.social by the pool, temporarily swapping running with swimming. Initially bought the novel for a running friend, but glad I bought a second copy. Reading this, I’m looking forward to running again soon. #HolidayVibes
- This is the lowest form of humanity! Nothing justifies this and the response (!) of all the western and Islamic (!) countries: www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...
- Thanks for sharing @plantophagy.bsky.social I was aware that Israel is responsible for the famine, but did not know it is a mathematically calculated effort to starve the Palestinian population. The lack of pressure by the rest of the ‘civilized’ world is infuriating. History will not be kind
- Feeling right at home in Oludeniz #LittleBritan
- Graduation day for two of @thesainsburylab.bsky.social #Proteomics team members. Congratulations @draegermarkus.bsky.social PhD and @Micheal Agbodo MSc. Double #ProudSupervisor

- Congrats Steven that is excellent news. That is the third ERC grant going to plant science in last two days!
- Came across a quote that I can’t trace but that is as timeless as it is and timely in more ways than one ‘We cannot fight the night, but we can always shine a light’ #quoteoftheday
- Here is @Euan-Cawston.bsk.social presenting his poster at #2025ISMPMI. #ProudSupervisor
- If you are enjoying #2025ISMPMI then you might also be interested in joining the Plant Peptide and Receptor Meeting #PPRM2025, 8th-10th September in Edinburgh. We have a great lineup of speakers and a diverse and inclusive community. More info here pprm2025.events.kdmeventsportal.co.uk
- Today at #2025ISMPMI I'll present poster P188 about our work with @talbotlabtsl.bsky.social on infection-related development in Magnaporthe oryzae using #phosphoproteomics. @Euan-Cawston.bsky.social will present poster P-340 on work investigating feedback regulation in MAPK signalling in M.oryzae.
Protein engineering is a 🔥 theme at #2025ISMPMI @gittacoaker.bsky.social presents her lab’s research- You almost sound surprised Ksenia?🤔

- Nice to meet you Monika, hope @sebiology.bsky.social will make your and other presentations available to participants to watch online
- I just published: Why I’m skipping the Congress this year (And why you should still publish your posters) Publishing your poster creates a citable record and protects you from bad actors. #ISMPMI2025 #OpenMPMI #AcademicChatter #PhDchat medium.com/p/why-im-ski...
- Great reason not to attend the Congress and yet another insightful story. Yeah to Open Science and community, shame that there is so much bad faith in our scientific community
