Just because someone gives you advice does not mean you have to take it. This is why it's SO incredibly valuable to have multiple mentors. n = 1 opinion is often insufficient to get the feedback you need to make big decisions. Thankful for my mentoring team 💚

Just another emerging #lateralroot of #cucumber
Grey channel - stained cell walls. Red nuclei - auxin maximum (DR5).
A few orange nuclei (near the initial cells of LR) - green nuclei expressing promoter-reporter fusion (merged with DR5).

The utter meanness and shame of a nation saying we want a careworker to come and look after our elderly incontinent parents, but we won't let them bring their kids to live with them.

Garlic genome is almost 17Gb?! Oh wow.
I was prepping dinner and chopping some garlic and went like “I wonder what’s the genome size?”

Forget-me-not fun fact: the yellow ring at the flower’s centre fades to white after pollination, signalling to insects there’s no more nectar. The insects therefore learn to visit the flowers that haven’t yet been pollinated, ensuring no forget-me-not flower is forgotten 🤙
