my first first-author publication is out! shoutout to @MarcioResendeJr @BillTracy1 and all other coauthors for making it possible! if you’re into in RNAseq, maize endosperm, starch biosynth, or sugars & gene expression, be sure to check it out :) https://t.co/3AQPnUIe1U

Special shoutout to recent Resende lab graduate, Dr. Finegan, who successfully finished her studies pertaining the breeding and genomics of nitrogen use efficiency in sweet corn. She is continuing her career at @Bayer4Crops. #UFPlantBreeder @MarcioResendeJr @ChristinaAFin

Thankful to @UFPlants for the chance to share my research!! 🌽🌽🌽

[Plant Science Council at UF @UFPlants]

Next up, @ChristinaAFin shares her research on using quantitative genetics, molecular biology, and bioinformatics to accelerate and improve sweet corn breeding #UFPlants21

[Plant Science Council at UF @UFPlants]

Even though we didn't get to physically meet each other at this year's #UFPlants21 symposium, we still got the chance to catch up for a group photo. A great team of students and mentors promoting academic and career resources in plant science.

meet my newest zoom lecture buddy 🦀🦀

[Plant Science Council at UF @UFPlants]

Despite the #COVID pandemic which may prevent in-person tours and activities, we are super excited for the numerous activities coming from #UFPlants this school year. You can still join us: https://t.co/VT90zFcqFi

[Plant Science Council at UF @UFPlants]

Graduate school should not be a solo adventure. #UFPlants is an avenue for new and existing graduate students to make new friends, participate in workshops, breeding retreats, and professional development activities. Zoom selfie from our meeting today 😃https://t.co/VT90zFcqFi

[Christina Finegan @ChristinaAFin]

check out this great workshop by @WendellJPereira !!

[Plant Science Council at UF @UFPlants]

Did you miss our bioinformatics workshop led by Wendell Pereira, a Ph.D Candidate at UF Plant Molecular and Cellular Biology last May? Here's a link to a recorded version: https://t.co/qUnGNjAyJN

Maybe this will sound mean but this is why I personally don't jive with the imposter syndrome term because my feelings as a Black woman who academia systematically excludes are lumped in with the insecurities of successful white men
