🍇🧬 New paper alert! 🍇🧬 What do we currently know about epigenetics in grapevine immune responses? What do we still not know about it? Can we harness epigenetics to mitigate pesticide use in viticulture? We answer these questions in our new article in @PPLplantarum

A final eu ate estava enganado. Eu pensava que o financiamento público em ciência se tinha mantido a níveis de 2009 mas a final esta abaixo do que era em 1991. Isto chegou a fundo e se juntamos vamos passar 2 anos sem financiamento de novos projetos da FCT.Como segurar o talento?

Adoro a tentativa de explicação de um artigo que na verdade é só uma repetição do artigo e não explica absolutamente nada, o cúmulo da academia
A quick thread on our @Nature paper on Assembly Theory. nature.com/articles/s41586-0… 1/10 Assembly theory provides a new framework to understand selection and evolution that integrates physics and biology. It redefines objects not as particles but by their formation histories.

É já amanhã (29-set) que o @GPS_Lab vai estar na #NEI2023! Venham aprender um pouco sobre microrganismos benéficos para a videira, a enorme diversidade desta planta e algumas doenças que a afligem! Ah, e temos uvas para todos - mas venham depressa, elas voam! 🍇🍇

My first oral presentation was on monday and I still can't believe I did it 🥺 DNA methylation in the grapevine downy mildew interaction is really cool, I swear!

thesis log #5 The weather may be horrible, but at least the grapevines (at our lab) are in bloom 🥰 And they actually smell kinda nice!

Thesis log #4 Ever since "the incident" I have to quintuple-check if i left my RNA in the freezer. Today I walked back after already leaving uni and being halfway to the subway
