I won the FIRST place in the flash talk competition at #GLPSC2025 🍀

I must admit, it was unexpected because this was my first flash talk and let me tell you; explaining what you do in 3 minutes is not easy!

Thanks to organizers of #GLPSC2025 for the opportunity to share my work on 🌱 and space 🛰️

I agree. At the same time, I wonder how this technology would work in polyploid organisms, like wheat. It is incredible how fast the genome editing technology is moving forward and maybe we will soon see these kind of experiments performed in crops.

Such a timely and important work! 👇
It was an incredible experience to be a part of the ROOT&SHOOT Inclusive Conference Committee (rootandshoot.org). I learned a lot in our discussions. It is always great to connect with like-minded people for an important goal: inclusive scientific environment 🌸

Here is our recent work on famous soil substance Glomalin.
Thanks for highlighting our work @mrillig.bsky.social
