If you're in Ghent tomorrow ! I'll be sharing our recent progress deciphering the sRNA-based dominance/recessivity interactions at the self-incompatibility locus in Arabidopsis 🌱
TOMORROW: SEMINAR by @vincentcastric.bsky.social from @univlille.bsky.social @cnrs.fr, invited by @pnovik.bsky.social and @yvdp.bsky.social. @viblifesciences.bsky.social

Development vs climate action is a false choice.
In the agriculture sector, there are many actions that reduce climate pollution AND help farmers adapt to a changing climate.
An underappreciated one is helping smallholders sustainably boost productivity, reducing ag land expansion & deforestation.

We visited Sculptures by the Sea today from Bondi to Tamarama 🌊🏖️ - nice way to recover from all that writing.
Thanks for taking the time to catch up on a weekend and for the lovely hang out.

We are now in the non-coding #RNA session at #ARNASydney2025. We heard a fascinating story on other functions of the TERRA #lncRNA, which binds ATRX and gene promoters. It also is more abundant in the aging brain. A great talk by Hsueh-Ping Chu from the National Taiwan University.
