Excited to share that an article from my PhD is now available for @plantdisease @phytofrontiers First Look! Thanks to all co-authors and @jgi for the support. Check it out👇

Why we should care: science is arguably the most important force for human progress, maybe by a lot. More discoveries, better lives for all of us.

If there’s a kid who could make a foundational discovery, we want to make sure they don’t spend their lives in the mines. 2/N

My host range characterization of Phytophthora sansomeana study is now available in @PlantDiseaseJ . I investigated the host range on known and unknown agriculturally relevant hosts using phenotypic, culturing, and qPCR techniques. Fungicide testing also:

Great news to kick off the weekend! My/our (science is a team effort) paper on a complete #genome resource of the #oakwilt fungus, #Bretziellafagacearum, has been accepted in @plantdisease PhytoFrontiers, with minor revisions suggested! #nuclear #mitochondrial #chromosomes🧬🍄

Hot off the press...Oak Wilt testing can now be done with leaves instead of branch segments, which makes testing more accessible to individual residents. Learn more in this article from our very own Laura Miles!

Plant Health Progress Best Student Paper Award by Jill Check et al. found that increasing plant density can reduce tar spot severity, but it might not be the most profitable disease management strategy. @CheckJill @MartinChilvers1 @MSU_PSM https://t.co/OP2Ouc5rND

So excited the first, first author paper of my PhD is ranked third! Thank you @BiochemSoc for the opportunity to write such an exciting review on PTMs and cell-fate decisions! Check it out and get inspired to study PTMs! https://t.co/Pm0EfhwEZS

SLAYYYYYY

I’m ✨excited✨ to announce I have been awarded a @USDA_NIFA Predoctoral Fellowship for the remainder of my PhD (@Tmiles_MSU)! I can’t get rid of this obligate pathogen just yet…. 🍇 stay tuned for updates and new grievances

Okay one more time now that these are out in their shiniest form! Check out It’s a Trap! Part I: Exploring the Applications of Rotating-Arm Impaction Samplers in Plant Pathology to get the info on spore trapping we wished we had! https://t.co/qJbLQwwOaT

Hey Midwest pals! As temps rise, #oakwilt fungal mats are forming. lt means beetles carrying spores are on the move. Don't let them land on your oak wounds! Best advice? Hold off on pruning until mid-July to keep those oaks safe. Zoom in to see sap beetles👇 #OakWiltAwareness
