We had a fantastic group outing to @DiamondLightSou and @isisneutronmuon during #PPATH24 @BS_PP. To learn more visit: https://t.co/MCIwRs4Pqz and https://t.co/EabjOf94DJ Why should #PlantPathologists be interested in Synchrotron Light and Neutrons? Some examples (a thread) @BS_PP

Hello new and current graduate students! Today's phrase of the day is "unlearn your hyper-independence"

Asking for help is not a sign of weakness. Grad school is hard, but not reaching out when you need help (many categories here) will make it impossible. Use your community.

Super excited to attend @psyringae2024 in Porto! Join us in June for a great week focused on our favourite plant pathogen that is not just DC3000 🤩🌱🧫. Abstract submission ends soon!

Plant pathologists interested in protein termini should check out this meeting in Oxford from Sept 8-11th https://t.co/z3g25FCQdj - which can be paired with #PPATH2024 from Sept 11th - 13th. Double the science and networking opportunities - without doubling your carbon footprint!

Pre-tenure faculty often get the advice to keep a record of everything you do before tenure.

But what does "everything" mean? Here's a list of some tenure-relevant activities and a free template to keep track of all of them ⬇️

An absolutely badass addition to my hall of fame of disability campaigns from @CoorDown for #WorldDownSyndromeDay.

@isabelpochet @ThePhDPlace @PhD_Genie And for any post do take advantage of any opportunity for an informal chat with the PI or members of their lab about the job and research environment before a formal application or interview if available. A surprising number of applicants don't do this.

[GrandChallenges @GP_PlantPath]

@isabelpochet @ThePhDPlace @PhD_Genie Some requirements can be at least partially evidenced by illustrating your ability and willingness to learn. No publications? List the manuscripts in preparation you are working towards, and make sure your application documents are coherent and well-written.

Friends don't let friends make bad charts!

Chenxin Li, pulled together a lot of great advice for data visualization, with clear "do this, not that" examples for each item.

Here are a few of my favorites, see the link below for more.
