Our Collaborative Research Center SFB 1644 studies the molecular basis of plasticity, how it changes during evolution, and the factors that limit it.

Oct 9-10 the PhenPlasPlants conference took place in Potsdam! Scientists from very diverse fields (genetics, to computational sciences and ecology) shared their findings in phenotypic plasticity research 🌱 Very proud to have been part of the organization committee! 👏 @crc1644.bsky.social

🎤 At Potsdam Science Day 2025, our junior group leader René Schneider gave an engaging talk on how plants adapt to environmental change — using LEGO® models to illustrate the concept of phenotypic plasticity. A great example of how complex research can be made accessible, visual, and fun. 🌱🧱
