Shannon Derman

@episeedlink fellows would like to thank our trainers, @Crevillen, and @abelendavila, and Dr. Manuel Piñeiro, and all who were responsible for successful completion of this insightful training course. 🧵(3/3)

Today in the course, @episeedlink fellows learned the theory of ChIP-seq and went through the protocol they will use for this week. Lastly, @crevillenlab and Jose, the trainers, showed them how to do crosslink and chromatin extraction

@episeedlink fellows continue his/her ChIP seq training at the @CBGP_Madrid. Yesterday, they did the Chromatin Immunoprecipitation. Today they will finish recovering our DNA and do library preparation

“It is incredible to see how eager the general public is to learn about the science that goes on in the Institutions around them! Similarly, hundreds of scientists set time aside to engage in citizen science. ... 🧵

One of our @episeedlink Fellows, @shannonderman shares her experience of Scientifica, Switzerland’s largest science festival. Follow the 🧵 to know about her experience.

After 3 months of @ShannonDerman and @B_Shreyas01(@episeedlink fellows) working hard at @bioatlantis to optimize methods for seaweed extract-based seed priming for Arabidopsis and Brassica respectively, they are sad to part ways¡ Know @ShannonDerman opinion about secondment on🧵

Our last #EpiseedlinkPlaces post is on the University of Zurich (@UZH_en), where our 11th fellow @ShannonDerman is working on the transcriptomic and epigenomic effects of seed priming on seedling establishment during drought. To find out more follow the 🧵

@ShannonDerman, one of the @episeedlink fellows has begun her experiments during her secondment at @bioatlantis. She is testing the effect of biostimulant-based priming on Arabidopsis seeds, and if this priming can induce drought stress tolerance in Arabidopsis.

Know where our @episeedlink fellows come from. Thank you @ShannonDerman for preparing this.

Fellows, @ShannonDerman from @UZH_en and Nora Pasquali from @uniofgalway are at @BioAtlantis, working on the response to #biostimulants, together with his colleague @B_Shreyas01, and addressed by Dr. Sujeeth Neerakkal

The @episeedlink PhD fellows start to gather, to have fun and to become the community they will enjoy for the next years! Glad to see that @B_Shreyas01 @Ibeh_Kingsley19 Nora @PaoloLRS @Martina_pplon and @ShannonDerman in the pic.

What a week!! The @episeedlink supervisory board reunited at the @CNB_CSIC has been evaluating 22 pre-selected PhD candidates: Introduction of the Network, Candidate Presentations and Interviews, and a final Team work Challenge! Final selection of candidates ongoing!!
