How do plant organs stay smooth—or become wrinkled? 🌱 Our paper in @CurrentBiology shows how coordinated growth direction and mechanical properties across cell layers determine whether Arabidopsis sepals remain smooth or buckle.

The Cornell Chronicle highlighted our recent Current Biology paper, showing how cell growth and tissue mechanics work together to shape developing sepals—and how these principles could help engineer living materials. news.cornell.edu/stories/2026/0…

Deeply saddened by the passing of Meng. Heartbroken to lose a candid, generous friend and colleague. Plant science lost a brilliant mind, but I will remember Meng as a kind soul who inspired those around him. Rest in peace. You are sorely missed. 💔

Plant cells have their own language, & #HHMIInvestigator Keiko Torii has spent 30 yrs decoding it. Her team's new work on the signals guiding stomatal development — & how plants balance that with pathogen defense — could help develop more resilient crops: bit.ly/4hFvOIy

How does a growing leaf stay flat? 🍃
Our new paper in @PLOSBiology shows that maintaining leaf flatness requires growth-rate coordination across the width of the leaf blade—not just between the top and bottom surfaces. journals.plos.org/plosbiology/ar…

Latest episode of #No_Time_To_Read podcast!
I had a wonderful discussion with Avilash @Morpholosophist about his recent @CurrentBiology article.
Avilash just started his new role as an Assistant Professor this month. Congratulations!

Four billion years ago, Earth was a sterile rock. Today it is teeming with life, from simple microbes to extraordinarily complex societies that span the globe.
How does that happen? I'm writing a book about the answer: Life Unbounded, from Quanta Books.

🚨New book announcement! 🚨Evolutionary biologist William C. Ratcliff’s (@wc_ratcliff) LIFE UNBOUNDED (forthcoming 2029) delivers a sweeping narrative of the emergence of complex life, and how a sterile planet transformed into the rich mosaic of beings on Earth today.
