English is the dominant language of science. Does this help us share knowledge? Or does it further exclude the already excluded?

This webinar looks back at the colonial past of science communication and how we can better embrace multilingual science: buff.ly/5f2uPQi

I'm super curious about how the writing style then compares to what we do now. If you've got an old proposal you'd be willing to share, or even just some insights into the typical style from that era, I'd love to hear about it! Drop a comment or send me a DM. 🌱 #writing #proposal

Just submitted my first PI grant proposal – what a wild ride! It got me wondering about something specific: for those of you in plant science, what did grant proposals look like back in the late '90s or early 2000s? #writing #proposal

A growing list of genetically encoded biosensors helps to shine light on plant metabolism. We reviewed - also for the non-expert - available probes and recent advances in the field:

www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Scheme how genetically encoded biosensors can shine light on plant metabolism. Intrinsic sensors bind their analyte directly, extrensic sensors require a sensing domain fused to one, or more, fluorescent proteins. In paraplexing experiments, multiple sensors are individually expressed in plants and their responses are recorded in parallel. In multiplexing experiments, two or more sensors with non-overlapping excitation and emission spectra are expressed in the same plant. Sensor responses, either recorded in paraplexing or multiplexing experiments over time and through appropriate instruments, such as fluorescence microscopes or plate readers, can be used to create increasingly complex metabolic networks.

Great paper that creates a new GA biosensor and shows key role for GA signalling at the edges of organ primordia. Auxin gets the lion's share of attention at the apex, but the role of GA has been much less well understood. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

A quantitative gibberellin signaling biosensor reveals a role for gibberellins in internode specification at the shoot apical meristem - Nature Communications
