Did you know that the practice of carving pumpkins originated from a tradition in Ireland?

The most popular pumpkin to carve for Halloween is the Field Pumpkin (Cucurbita pepo), which is one of the oldest varieties of pumpkin in existence!

Check out the finale of the Plant Cell Identity webinar series! 🌱 🔬 🧬

We had a panel discussion with @oli-wilkins.bsky.social, @bas-bargmann.bsky.social and Marc Libault, on why and how we define cell types, and what could be done better.

I love this question and its complexity! ✨

Starting in 3h or so - we will be discussing why and how we should be defining cell types and states - I expect really stimulating conversation and important suggestions for how to (not) use the terminology!
