The firefly luciferase is being used as a 'reporter gene' here, to reveal the Kalanchoe's 24-hour rhythms in the lab. Otherwise they are invisible.
Actually the luciferase glow is not directly visible either! It's so faint that the video was taken with super-sensitive cameras, closer to astronomy kit than to your smartphone. These are transgenic plants, developed for lab science in my now-#EdinburghUni colleague Jessica Pritchard's PhD, with James Hartwell in Liverpool.

Whoever has printed these out and posted them all over central campus is doing a stellar job. #EdinburghUni just announced that our boss is getting a £43,000 pay rise, whilst staff pay has stagnated by 25% since 2009. It’s disgraceful! #ucurising #ucu

Last week was special.
The Crit Care programme at #EdinburghUni awarded its first ever #MScs.
After 5 years in the making (2 years of work even before the first student logged in!) and a pandemic during lauch year we wondered if this moment would ever come.
Congratulations to all our graduating students and to all my amazing colleagues but particularly my partner in crime Graham Nimmo (second from left) who retires this year.
