IPGSA 2025 is over, but there were many great talks and meetings with old and new plant hormone friends. See you all in Vienna if not sooner. #IPGSA
Truly honored and humbled (and genuinely surprised) to be the 2025 IPGSA @ipgsa2025.bsky.social Silver Medalist along w/ the eminent plant biologists, John Bowman and Jenny Russinova. Thank you. Plant peptides rock!! 🥰
Next PSNA meeting in Madison, WI, announced by Hiroshi Maeda. #PSNA @psna-official.bsky.social @hiroshi-maeda.bsky.social
Really impressed with the amazing science at the conference of the Phytochemical Society of North America. Plus friendly atmosphere and opportunities for early career researchers to present. #PSNA2025 @psna-official.bsky.social
Amazing talk by Nick Provart at the Phytochemical Society of North America conference in Toronto today, on systems biology of drought responses. Impressive use of big data integration, AI and development of bioinformatic resources for causal gene and gene network discovery. #PSNA2025
It's in a few days! IPGSA 2025, the premier conference for research on ALL substances that regulate plant growth and responses to the environment: small molecules, phytohormones and peptide hormones. See you soon in Colorado! #IPGSA2025
TWO weeks for IPGSA 2025 in Fort Collins Colorado: small molecules, phytohormones and peptide hormones UNITE! Check out the activities page to plan your fun in Colorado! www.ipgsa2025.org #IPGSA2025 #plantscience
3 weeks and counting.... The largest conference on molecules that change plant growth and responses to the environment: IPGSA 2025 (www.ipgsa2025.org). Registrations still open, and a fantastic lineup of speakers. And on top of it all, in the beautiful, inclusive and beer friendly Fort Collins, CO.
It's in 4 weeks! The IPGSA 2025 Conference (www.ipgsa2025.org) will start in 4 weeks exactly. An amazing list of speakers on phytohormones and peptide hormones, in BEAUTIFUL Colorado, close to nature and fun! #IPGSA2025 #plantscience 🌱
