@itsdavidpurcell @C0URTLANDS In fact, lifting forks does make everything easier. Including, but not limited to, food :)

[Sarah Lane @ExudetteRootly]

@ShapingFire Thanks for having me back!

[Sarah Lane @ExudetteRootly]

Nothing is quite as hard when you have fellows to share the experience with. ❤

...and someone just stole my thermos full of coffee...

[Sarah Lane @ExudetteRootly]

Why does 8 feel so much earlier in winter? (Sinks slowly into a vat of coffee).

[Sarah Lane @ExudetteRootly]

Hey folks, I podcasted about roots and exudates! Thanks @ShapingFire for the chance to spend a morning talking about the underground world of root activities, it was a great time. And thanks to @ChimeraGenetics for sending this my way!

OMG, after 5 years, I have finally optimized my most stubborn technique. Like, it worked, and not just sorta. What a time...

[Sarah Lane @ExudetteRootly]

I got fed up with women's jeans and went to women's construction pants... and long story short, THEY HAVE POCKETS! Enough to fit my whole hands in... what is this magic??

[Sarah Lane @ExudetteRootly]

What a fun day, dusting off my flow cytometry hat. Cells do stuff!

[Sarah Lane @ExudetteRootly]

I really think I have the best supervisors. And my thesis takes shape!

[Sarah Lane @ExudetteRootly]

Today I am a potion maker 😍 (and yes, it isn't finished yet so it is not made up to volume 😊).

[Sarah Lane @ExudetteRootly]

Today is a chemistry day, and I couldn't be more excited!! What a great end to a productive week 😍.

Tissue culture and other similarly roasty toasty experiments in a heat wave suck. This moment brought to you by electrolytes and a cold washcloth.

Arabidopsis (according to literature): I'll die without iron in weeks...
Poplar: hold my beer.

Lavender: watching with popcorn.

Moral of the story, lavender is one hardy mofo. Poplar is not. Arabidopsis is Arabidopsis.

Back to Victoria after a fantastic trip to Portland for #PlantBio2022! A great conference! I met so many wonderful people and I'm headed home with a full head of great new ideas and knowledge. Thanks to the organizers @ASPB /@cspbscbv and all of the fantastic presenters. 😊

[Sarah Lane @ExudetteRootly]

Couldn't avoid going to a yarn store while I was here, and the Unravelled yarn store came with a bonus cat!

[Sarah Lane @ExudetteRootly]

It's almost time for poster sessions!If you are here at #PlantBio2022, come say hi 😁.

[Sarah Lane @ExudetteRootly]

First day of #PlantBio2022 has been so much fun, great talks and Portland food is so good...

[Sarah Lane @ExudetteRootly]

What a magnificent root ball! And it just keeps going... #fogponics #rootballer #CedarIsABeast.

[Sarah Lane @ExudetteRootly]

Two days until we drive out to #PlantBio2022, so excited! So many plant folks all in one place, plants for days... sounds like paradise.
