International Day of Women and Girls in Science 👩‍🔬💚

Our Researcher @diana_moreira8 participated in the celebration of this day at @ciencias_fcup
Hoje, no Dia Internacional das Mulheres e Meninas na Ciência, damos voz a investigadoras e docentes que partilharam uma frase que as tentou limitar e a conquista científica que alcançaram apesar dela.

Porque o talento não tem género. E a ciência ganha quando todos têm espaço. 🩵

New preprint on bioRxiv 🌱
We show that Ca²⁺ binding by arabinogalactan-proteins (AGPs) is essential for male fertility and successful double fertilisation in Arabidopsis.
GLCAT mutants reveal AGPs as functional apoplastic Ca²⁺ stores.

🚨 Crise alimentar em níveis recorde!
Em 2024 quase 300 milhões de pessoas em 53 países sofreram fome aguda e 1,9 milhão ficaram em situação catastrófica. Os extremos climáticos é um dos fatores que agravam a crise.

🍀🎉😊❤️🙏

I am so grateful and proud to be working with Catherine, Joanna, Adrienne and Nan to create the Arabidopsis timeline!

Such a landmark project, published @ThePlantCell & initiated by NAASC @NAASC_NA_ICAR
I had a lot of fun digging into old literature to make this timeline of Discovery & Innovation in Arabidopsis!
🌱Also includes important Arabidopsis Community contributions- a topic close to my ❤️ @aribidopsis @RoederLab
