This is an interesting and potentially breakthrough-bound system in which to study gall formation on plants. Strangely, it provides no detailed information about the structure of these galls. Are they galls? doi.org/10.64898/2026.10.11.…

Hey Houstonites! I’ll be talking about plant behavior at the Patterson Park Patio Bar on Tues Nov 10. It should be a lot of fun and even startling. Visit eventbrite.com/e/after5houst… for details. Hope to see you there! (After5society sponsors weekly presentations on science etc.)
From today's NYT: "The White House has begun drafting a new executive order... The order aims to create a new external committee with the power to veto awards🤬
This has the potential to advance study of #galls, since there are few on the ‘model’ plant species

This bald cypress tree had more galls per branch than any tree I've ever seen. Galled by Cypress twig gall midge, Taxodiomyia cupressiananassa
Messages I get. “Hi Mr. Schultz this is Diana I would change at the Houston medical office and you were assigned to our relationship here and we wanted to call and juice ourselves to make sure you know exactly who you are when things come up we can absolutely assist you”

As an entomologist I take this personally
4 UC Berkeley undergrads who put up a cardboard insect to protest Turning P*int USA’s sold out campus event are being charged with FELONY VANDALISM.

Does anybody have, or know where to find high quality photos of crown gall in cross section? I need one for an invited review. Will be credited, of course. Thanks! #gall

How #insects get #plants to form #galls is a mystery. Our latest contribution to solving this is now out. We identify the sources of ‘stem cells’ an insect needs to elaborate a gall. doi.org/10.1111/nph.70241
