i'm just a girl, staring at a PCR tube, hoping it contains amplicons

science twitter is startin to take off real good on bloo skie y'all, and i don't even have to obnoxiously misspell censored words over there. just sayin.

my lemon guava tree decided mid-november was perfect fruiting time apparently

@Swilua beautiful

@KristiLynnFrank ridiculous

does anyone else use Eurofins for whole plasmid sequencing and sometimes get results back that are clearly from someone else's samples?

[Jess Foster 🏳️‍🌈 🌱 🧪 she/her @JFplantstuff]

@KristiLynnFrank ugh that's terrible, i've had plenty of bad sanger from them too but just assumed it was poor quality reads not incorrect files. i'll have to pay closer attention to those

@ATinyGreenCell i personally dont usually do 6 at a time either 😭 i'm so annoyed with eurofins right now though, this has been an ongoing problem for as long as i've used them and they don't seem to care to fix it

[Jess Foster 🏳️‍🌈 🌱 🧪 she/her @JFplantstuff]

@ATinyGreenCell cos they only pick up drop box once a week and aint nobody got time for that but otherwise i def would

@SynBio1 did they use the australian head in the bucket thylacine? 😂

Check out our new preprint with a stellar set of Gateway-compatible vectors for the soybean composite plant system (and likely others!). Effector/plant gene function analysis, root localization, and molecular-plant microbe interaction investigation just got a lot more accessible!

accidentally summoning the science devil over here today i guess 😬🤣

@0_minyaaa beautiful 😍 what is it?

[Jess Foster 🏳️‍🌈 🌱 🧪 she/her @JFplantstuff]

@ATinyGreenCell nobody ever believes me when i say they're gonna jinx themselves and then they jinx themselves 🤣 😬 glad this is hopefully fixed though!

@szintri @EmporiumThought @ATinyGreenCell @jrossibarra omg that is the cutest dang thing, now i want tiny corn

[Jess Foster 🏳️‍🌈 🌱 🧪 she/her @JFplantstuff]

@ATinyGreenCell careful you'll jinx it 🤣

Had such a blast doing an interview with Laur from @plantsinjars_tc! Really inspiring me to start making my own videos too. Enjoyyyyy.

Nothing better than giving special people in the lab a little Eppendorf bouquet of special flowers :)

@GabrielGiger @Nature so cool 🤩 congrats!

[Jess Foster 🏳️‍🌈 🌱 🧪 she/her @JFplantstuff]

@ATinyGreenCell @jrossibarra idk how to tinycorn but big corn is a super heavy feeder and is wind pollinated watch out fer that 😄
