Why do bees bite flowers when buzz pollinating? Here, with @CharlieZoology and the @HFSP -funded team we show that biting helps bees to increase the amount of shaking applied to flowers, potentially releasing more pollen. Free access until 5 Oct! kwnsfk27.r.eu-west-1.awstrac…

To PhD students who want a career in academia: 1 thing I'd greatly advise is pushing for some teaching at your institution.
I wish I pushed harder for this. I've got all the way to interview for 2 jobs & ultimately been unsuccessful bc of zero teaching hours ... 1/2

Just answered an email "Where are the Teaching Tools in Plant Biology?" There were moved to this page academic.oup.com/plcell/page… when we started publishing with OUP. They are grouped by theme (hormones, development, etc). All found in zip files in "Supplemental Data".
All free!

Plant Science for Women's History Month. Barbara McClintock discovered transposons, Janaki Ammal was the first women to earn a PhD in Plant Biology in the USA, and Estelle Leopold used pollen to study climate change. #womeinscience #plantbiology #WomenHistoryMonth #WomenInSTEM

Frederick, Bruno, and @A_Barbacci beautifully summarized the history and future direction of Plant acoustic research. The article is in French but can be enjoyed after auto-translation as well.
