It's up! Long awaited and long stressed over: Harvest attributes and seed quality predict physiological maturity of pennycress🌱

It's not open access, but if you'd like to read it and can't access it, DM me and I'll send you a copy!

After 5 years, 4 chapters, 3 cities, and 2 states, I officially have 1 PhD! 👩🏼‍🎓

[Julija Cubins @JCubins]

What did we learn?
👉🏼Parameters of pennycress physiological maturity (PM) maximized in a similar order regardless of environment and year
👉🏼Pennycress reached PM between 2230-2250C CGDD
👉🏼Pennycress moisture is too high for mechanical harvest at PM and will need to be reduced

I'm getting a degree in plants, but I don't actually know how to take care of the plants in my apartment. It's my dark professional secret 🌱☠️

Yesterday someone breathlessly ran up to me in a store and yelled "you're young, does this look good?!" It did. And it was a nice reminder that feeling old and crippled from grad school doesn't actually mean that I'm old and crippled🙃

I truly get to see the pomodoro technique in action

My periodontist: You can go back to your normal work activities tomorrow
Also my periodontist: Ice for 40 minutes every hour for the next two days

But... How?

The great thing about having a standing desk is that I'm not sitting all day, but the terrible thing is that it's just so easy to wander away every 5 minutes when I'm trying to write

[poorly drawn lines @PDLComics]

get it together

So excited and relived to hear that my second first-author paper was accepted and is moving to the proof stage!

All that's left on my academic Christmas list now is "finish dissertation" 😅

Love this design from @DearGradStudent, but it feels a little ominous that it was printed upside down

[Julija Cubins @JCubins]

@beyondblathers Those are great suggestions! I was just thinking last night how much I love the ACNH mystery island music...

What do you listen to when you write?
The things I usually pick from don't feel right today!

@ThePlantProf When I ran cross country in high school, we were told that if we stopped or walked, it didn't count as the one run, it became two shorter runs!
I don't know if other people think that way, but it kept me running in place for years (not anymore)

@JustinMcElroy the real question is whether or not the maple pear seltzer is good?? #tazlive

One of the great joys of hosting a science podcast is learning about things I never even thought about before- like octopuses! 🐙🐙

Learn more about these many-armed friends in the latest episode of @hookedonscience!

[Hooked on Science Podcast @HookedOnScience]

Is it octopuses or octopi? 🐙🐙🐙
What happens when an octopus loses an arm?
And HOW MANY brains do they have???

Learn the answers to these burning questions and more in this week's episode with @MegHolst, co-host of @SharkpediaPod!

Every time I type "wherever," I really want it to be "whereever." @MerriamWebster can we make this happen??

[Jaclyn A. Siegel, PhD @jacasiegel]

I said yes!!!!!!!! 💍 🥰✨ Someone asked me if I was STILL working on that paper I started three years ago. ❤️

[Julija Cubins @JCubins]

Sometimes I wonder if doing years of busy work and unimportant little tasks has skewed my ability to determine if I'm being "productive" or not because productivity looks and feels way different now that I'm writing my dissertation!

You should go listen to this awesomely interesting @hookedonscience episode with @SciWithEmily! It's always a delight to learn about something new, but this was completely out of my wheelhouse and I was riveted during the interview and again during editing

[Hooked on Science Podcast @HookedOnScience]

If you've been wondering where #SciComm intersects with biomedical engineering and conducting polymers, look no further than today's episode with @SciWithEmily, one of the hosts of @SpotlightThePod!
