I successfully imaged Comet C/2023 A3 today in Dekalb, IL, at 7:17 p.m. Chicago time using the iPhone 13's night mode with a 10-second exposure. This comet will remain invisible for the next 80,000 years.

Can’t believe this is finally out! Thanks to everyone for all the hard work 🙌🏼 @amy_tabb @shiversherlock @AviKarnPhD

Fun announcement this morning. A testament to all the fantastic folks I’ve had the privilege of working with in the lab!

Paspalum is a grass so stress tolerant it was picked as the official turf of the world cup in Qatar. A very stressful environment. Today we're publishing the paspalum genome. A crop wild relative that may teach maize (corn) to grow with less fertilizer. https://t.co/0fRzEHP6OV

Successfully completed this course on #AlphaSimR - an R package to set up and design in-silico breeding programs to simulate and analyze a range of scenarios for a chosen population. Congratulations to Dr. Gregor Gorjanc and his team for putting together this awesome course!

Happy to see one of my collaborative postdoc project at #Cornell led by Olson et al publish in American Society of Horticultural Science.

@LarryMattYork Thank you 😊

Preparing for my winter nursery. Hats off to the engineers for these machines. #PlantBreeding would be inefficient without them!

Are you a PhD student working the intersection of plant biology and artificial intelligence? The team I'm working with at X (part of Alphabet/Google) is recruiting a PhD resident. Get some fun (and paid) industry experience in Mountain View, CA. https://t.co/Gg7YpiqeEA

[James Schnable @szintri]

An opportunity for a person with the right mixture of plant biology and AI/ML expertise to come work at X (the high risk/high reward R&D arm of Google/Alphabet). https://t.co/CPQrhGJwqt

Began preparing to harvest my 2022 double haploid maize nursery. It was heartening to see several rows with full of ear of corn - a good indicator of a successful pollination season.
Have a safe #harvest season 🌽

We were all in a silly, goofy mood taking headshots for a presentation and decided to recreate this iconic photo @ZacharyTraylor5 @melissa_draves

For me, I really like corn...

It's CORN! 🌽 🎶
A big field of corn,
@NASA can see it from space!

BREAKING: Trump took nuclear weapons documents to Mar-a-Lago.

This was not a drill. He did not take a few innocent items for memorabilia. He took the Crown Jewels of classified government documents to his home in Florida.
