- Reposted by Maria MineiroCall for a tenure-track position at our Department of Plant Molecular Biology in Lausanne! We are searching for promising early-career researchers in the broad field of plant-organismal interactions. Deadline: November 30, 2025 - Please re-post! career5.successfactors.eu/career?caree...
- Thanks to everyone who joined the Trilateral ECR Symposium 2025 at @unil.bsky.social with colleagues from VIB Ghent and ENS Lyon 🌍 Such a great environment to connect across labs💡 Special shout-out to the amazing organizing committee, and especially @mathieugg.bsky.social for making it all happen !
- Reposted by Maria MineiroI am thrilled to share the 2nd chapter of my PhD with @adsteinbrenner.bsky.social In collaboration with @tiszapatrick we demonstrated that the LRR-RLP INR is the missing molecular link between caterpillar recognition and predatory wasp recruitment in the field. A thread 1/6

- How do plants detect insect eggs ? 🌱🦋 Our new paper on GLR2.7 and its role in plant defense responses to insect eggs is now out in @newphyt.bsky.social Big thanks to the Reymond Lab @unil.bsky.social and our collaborators ! nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
- 🧐 Extracellular desiccation causes microbial growth arrest in ETI, a very interesting talk by @charlesrleveillee.bsky.social this morning at #2025ISMPMI 🌱
