his enrichment also includes phylogenetics

making sure my cat learns to appreciate the finer things in life, like corn

my image is featured on the cover of New Phytologist! Interested in receptor proximity labeling and how receptors coordinate meristem regulation? Find out more here: nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

so proud of the Open Plant community group at Genspace, pictured here - after lots of trials, we have confirmed that we have transgenics expressing glargine! #PlantScience #DIYbio read more about it here: www.genspace.org/open-plant-g...

nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/share/JAIVZX... Excited to share my latest work in @newphyt.bsky.social. Here, we used TurboID proximity labeling with CLAVATA receptors FEA3 and BAM1D in maize meristems to better understand the signaling pathways important for meristem regulation. #PlantScience

one of my favorite parts of making the film was being able to show my corn plants around Brooklyn 🌽

had an amazing time at IFMB in Wuhan. Met with old colleagues, made lots of new connections and won the best presentation award! Science is at its best when we can foster international cooperation!

"We learn to see what flows beneath, we learn the prehistory of the visible. We learn to dig deep and lay bare." - Paul Klee never cease to be amazed how many parallels in thought there are between science and art !

maize shoot apical meristems are the cutest! 😍 plasma membrane labeled with PIP2A-CFP

“All AlphaFold predictions were performed by L. Kotten.”

this past October, I participated in a film competition called Symbiosis, where a scientist and filmmaker are paired and have one week to make a film. it was an amazing experience, sharing some stills from the film here!
