Inspired by the Nature Index article "Build-your-own website for scientists", I wanted to create a hub to present my research & foster collaborations.
✨ Excited to share our new In Brief article in The Plant Cell! Co-authored with Fabian and Bruno, our piece highlights work by Almeida-Silva and Van de Peer that uses spatial transcriptomics to uncover how gene and genome duplications shape plant evolution.

Weekend Reading Recommendation #1 📚
✨ Write No Matter What by Joli Jensen
Key takeaway: Writing can be frequent, low-stress, and even enjoyable—a daily practice, not just a deadline scramble.
👉 I’d love to hear: What’s a book that’s shaped how you work, learn, or create?
