At the NSF PGRP meeting, the PRFB Fellows talked about how to make the fellowship more equitable given some challenges we experience. To collect data on individual experiences, we drafted a survey. We welcome contributions from current/past fellows - https://t.co/Q2bca5JpiV 1/2
Senseless #missile attack on the National #Herbarium of #Ukraine (KW). Fortunately, nobody injured and no irreversible loss of specimens. But so many other senseless attacks caused loss of lives and homes. Still, feels different to know I have been at this window just a year ago.
Domestication origin of an ancient #oilseed crop with emerging #biofuel applications (new #AJB research by Jordan Brock, Melissa Ritchey & Kenneth Olsen) https://t.co/HFzAR2bczD #botany#genetics#Brassicaceae @wileyplantsci
Camelina — an oilseed plant grown in modern-day Ukraine — may have been a more widespread crop than previously thought, according to new WashU research. The findings could inform breeding programs to improve this crop for biofuels applications @WUSTLArtSci

Russian army is firing from all sides upon Zaporizhzhia NPP, the largest nuclear power plant in Europe. Fire has already broke out. If it blows up, it will be 10 times larger than Chornobyl! Russians must IMMEDIATELY cease the fire, allow firefighters, establish a security zone!

@AndrewDLNelson
I am super excited to announce that I got the @NSF#PRFB! My work will address the role of environment in shaping subgenome dominance in the biofuel crop camelina. I’ll be joining @ProteinUniverse at @michiganstateu and @AndrewDLNelson@BTIscience 😱 I can’t wait to get started!!
