Turns out cells are generally better off with connections to their neighbours. This manuscript represents a decade-long team collaboration, with heroic effort from Estee Tee to lead it over the line! #PlantScience https://link.springer.com/article/10.1038/s44319-026-00789-213 May 2026 09:23 +0000at://did:plc:prpxqdghoyucg2geerqm6yll/app.bsky.feed.post/3mlpy5lmcok2khttps://bsky.app/profile/pdchristine.bsky.social/post/3mhgnb375qs2qTwo calcium doughnuts... 🍩🍩 [contains quote post or other embedded content]19 Mar 2026 18:33 +0000at://did:plc:prpxqdghoyucg2geerqm6yll/app.bsky.feed.post/3mhgnb375qs2qhttps://bsky.app/profile/pdchristine.bsky.social/post/3maldqd56ys2sWe're looking for a postdoc to join us in trying to map the routes by which different signals travel through plants and identify what information they carry.
