🌸 New review on Silene! Our colleagues contributed to new rewiew article on the ecology, functional and structural genomics, plant–pathogen interactions and more of our favorite plant 🌿 Learn about what makes Silene such a great model ⬇️ doi.org/10.1111/nph.... @newphyt.bsky.social #PlantScience

Silene, a versatile model system: from sex and genome evolution to ecology and speciation

Fundamental and applied research in evolutionary biology benefits from the use of model systems in which approaches from disparate disciplines can be integrated. Here, we review recent progress in ev...

"Yay, a Mistake!" - we recently ran a workshop on embracing errors as a part of growth, led by Clément Lafon Placette @plantreproevo.bsky.social. Participants explored practical tools to navigate stress, emotions, and inner dialogue to turn mistakes into fuel for learning. #GrowthMindset #SoftSkills

🐝 Excited to announce MZe/NAZV funding for BeeSure-Next300! Our innovative project tackles varroosis with advanced mite-detection tools, protective strategies & beekeeper training—adapting to climate change. #BeeSure #Varroosis #Beekeeping #Innovation

Many thanks to Michail Rovatsos of @sciencecharles.bsky.social for his guest seminar about sex chromosomes in reptiles! Fascinating discussions about how they compare to our model plants are to follow 🐍🌿 #SexChromosomes #DosageCompensation
