I developed a strong interest in the fundamental processes of plants and their applications. After finalizing my studies of bioengineering, the most obvious choice was to further specialize in investigating the potential of improving plant traits.

Along with several other group leaders, I was asked to give a presentation in a session on future trends in science. As expected, the session turned out to be a recital of the obvious, with people predicting more genome sequencing, more big data, more CRISPR/Cas, more single-cell research. The audience was slipping into a deep, possibly irreversible, coma. That was, until I half-jokingly stated that there’s an easy answer for anyone not working in the field of microbiology: simply look at what microbiologists are doing right now to know where other fields will be headed in the coming five years. Coma transformed into fury. Someone stood up and shouted that microbes don’t even have neurons and that it is therefore rather unlikely that they would be good predictors of where the field of neurobiology would head to. Plant scientists, cancer specialists and immunologists nodded enthusiastically.</p></div> <div class="field field--name-field-link field--type-link field--label-hidden btn-wrapper field__item"> <span class="read-more read-more-wrapper"> <a href="/sites/vib.sites.vib.be/files/2022-07/VIBtimes_march_2018_03.pdf"> <span>Read this issue</span> <div class="svg-wrapper"> <svg class="icon icon--chevron-right"> <use xlink:href="#icon--chevron-right"></use> </svg> </div> </a> </span> </div> </div> </div> <div class="layout__item"> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--image-column paragraph--view-mode--default" id="image-column-dc3"> <div class="blazy blazy--field blazy--field-image blazy--field-image--default field field--name-field-image field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__item" data-blazy=""> <div data-b-token="b-1afe19d9831" class="media media--blazy media--bundle--image media--image media--responsive media--ratio media--ratio--32 is-b-loading"> <picture> <source srcset="about:blank" media="(min-width: 0px)" type="image/webp" width="768" height="512" data-srcset="/sites/vib.sites.vib.be/files/styles/3_2_small/public/2022-07/cover_vibtimes_201712.png.webp?itok=SCU6tEVO 1x"/> <img decoding="async" class="media__element b-lazy b-responsive" loading="lazy" data-src="/sites/vib.sites.vib.be/files/2022-07/cover_vibtimes_201712.png" src="data:image/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg'%20viewBox%3D'0%200%201%201'%2F%3E" width="768" height="512" alt="VIB Times - December 2017" /> </picture> </div> </div> <h3 class="field field--name-field-title field--type-string title bg_light field__item">Open science</h3> <div class="field field--name-field-footnote field--type-string field--label-hidden note field__items"> <div class="field__item">December 2017</div> </div> <div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-field-text field--type-text-long field--label-hidden field__item"><p>The first time I heard someone talking about open science a few years ago, I first thought naively: “What’s the matter?

If you take a look at our publications, the vast majority of them describe work that features one or more models. Naturally, there are a diverse range of models used in different applications. For example, the plant biology research community chose Arabidopsis thaliana (thale cress) several decades ago as its main model due to its small size, short generation period and limited genome size. A. thaliana has served the plant basic research community very well, and still continues to do so — but like any model, it has its limitations. This has led to the introduction of additional models: poplar for woody plants and corn for food crops, even though these plants need plenty of space in the greenhouse.</p></div> <div class="field field--name-field-link field--type-link field--label-hidden btn-wrapper field__item"> <span class="read-more read-more-wrapper"> <a href="/sites/vib.sites.vib.be/files/2022-07/VIBtimes_sept_2016_12.pdf"> <span>Read this issue</span> <div class="svg-wrapper"> <svg class="icon icon--chevron-right"> <use xlink:href="#icon--chevron-right"></use> </svg> </div> </a> </span> </div> </div> </div> <div class="layout__item"> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--image-column paragraph--view-mode--default" id="image-column-93a"> <div class="blazy blazy--field blazy--field-image blazy--field-image--default field field--name-field-image field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__item" data-blazy=""> <div data-b-token="b-f74d3a97a6d" class="media media--blazy media--bundle--image media--image media--responsive media--ratio media--ratio--32 is-b-loading"> <picture> <source srcset="about:blank" media="(min-width: 0px)" type="image/webp" width="768" height="512" data-srcset="/sites/vib.sites.vib.be/files/styles/3_2_small/public/2022-07/cover_vibtimes_201606.png.webp?itok=nBQRnM6K 1x"/> <img decoding="async" class="media__element b-lazy b-responsive" loading="lazy" data-src="/sites/vib.sites.vib.be/files/2022-07/cover_vibtimes_201606.png" src="data:image/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg'%20viewBox%3D'0%200%201%201'%2F%3E" width="768" height="512" alt="VIB Times - June 2016" /> </picture> </div> </div> <h3 class="field field--name-field-title field--type-string title bg_light field__item">Technologies at VIB</h3> <div class="field field--name-field-footnote field--type-string field--label-hidden note field__items"> <div class="field__item">June 2016</div> </div> <div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-field-text field--type-text-long field--label-hidden field__item"><p>In molecular life sciences, the incredible ingenuity of scientists and engineers such as those at VIB leads to increasingly accurate analytical methods.
