Come work with me! The last time this role was vacant was SIXTEEN years ago—if that’s not a ringing endorsement, I don’t know what is. Great students, team, and work culture at @UofIllinois.

New research from my new gig 🤩🤩

Story by the always amazing @diana_yates_

[ChBE Illinois @ChBEIllinois]

A team led by Zhao Huimin invents new COVID-19 test that is portable, affordable, accurate, and fast! 📣

The new test can get accurate results from a saliva sample in less than 30 minutes. Many components of the hand-held device can be 3D-printed.

And here I was all worried that I'd miss plants too much at my new job. Now I get to communicate about plants that are out of this world. Literally. 👩‍🚀🧡🌿

...too many space puns? Maybe.

[ChBE Illinois @ChBEIllinois]

We're over the moon for @DiaoGroup, who received a @NASA Early Career Award to develop sensors and 'smart' plant chambers that could help astronauts grow veggies for longer space missions. 🚀🌱

Well done, @cavycavs & @moore_science_! Doing 👏 the 👏 #scicomm 👏

But seriously, #plantsci, take notes! 👇

[The RIPE Project @RIPEproject]

In their @conversationUK piece, @cavycavs and @moore_science_ review a study published in @ScienceMagazine that shows while increased CO2 levels help boost plant growth, this may no longer be the case—confirming another study by @ainsy28 and @LongLab🌱

@cindyckx 🤤And with your favorite, can't-shelter-without food — bananas! ☺️☺️

[Claire Benjamin @ClaireBenji]

Good excuse to put on makeup and celebrate #EarthDayAtHome while I #ShelterInPlaceWithRubiscoOxygenase. Taking a moment to appreciate the plants that brighten up our little corner of the world — and the enzyme that feeds us all and gives us oxygen to breathe! 💙🌿🌎

[The RIPE Project @RIPEproject]

Today (4/22), we’re commemorating the 50th anniversary of Earth Day and the discovery of #RubiscoOxygenase — the plant enzyme that feeds us all. Show us how you are celebrating #EarthDayAtHome with your plant babies! #ShelterInPlaceWithRubiscoOxygenase (yes, it rhymes!) 🌍💚🌱

[Claire Benjamin @ClaireBenji]

#Connect2Earth by joining me during @earthhour and switch off your lights for one hour tomorrow (3/28) at 8:30 PM (your local time). By coming together in support of wildlife and protecting nature, we can feel closer than the physical gaps that are currently between us 💡🌎🌱
