Hey #Botany2023 stop by my talk tomorrow (7/26) at 8:30am in 410A if you can!! It should be lots of fun with some exciting updates (no spoilers)!!

[Steve Fortier @stevefortier86]

Dozens of @KeeneState_ students and faculty are attending the annual NH-INBRE annual conference. Today, @GovChrisSununu visited with some of our students during the poster session. More KSC students present tomorrow.

Great turn out today at the Keene state STEM fair! Lots of awesome projects from local middle schools! #STEM #KSC

It’s s free and incredibly tiny! 🙌👍

Daphnia neonate trapped in mothers corpse! Attempting to free it, will update shortly #KSCBio

@karencang didn’t realize draft tweets remove images

Took me a while to find my prized collection of #BooksINeverUsed but here are a few that total up to around $300. I was lucky enough to be part of #KSCbio where I didn’t need to purchase any books! Maybe this should be a guide for all programs @karencang @kellymariebio

Finished my poster on the impact atmospheric CO2 has on stomatal length and density! Would have more plant species if it weren't for fruit flies 🤷‍♂️ #KSCBio #PhyteClub

[Josh Stevens @JoshuaTEStevens]

Making progress highlighting the stomata from my sweet corn (Zea mays) cuticle, a little more threshold tweaking and selecting for medium length contours should do the trick! #KSCBio #PhyteClub

If you ever have the opportunity to pick between a project and a test, choose the project and better yet make it a challenging project! This is a great way to gain experience of how experiments are conducted and can help fill in your undergrad CV #KSCBio

[Josh Stevens @JoshuaTEStevens]

Some advice I could give to new students is to get out of your comfort zone by taking bio electives that might not be close to what you plan on specializing in, it could open a door of new career pathways you never expected you would be so interested in! #KSCBio

[Josh Stevens @JoshuaTEStevens]

Lab skills are very crucial, integrating a way to use research labs as teaching facilities on occasion could be really useful! Similar to the neuro course last year, we were able to use @suwhitte tadpoles to conduct our own research projects #KSCbio

[Allie Tolles @AllieTolles]

It would definitely be expensive but when does cost outweigh the value! Lab skills are so important for many of our futures in the field of science, and it would reflect well on KSC to have students leaving with good lab skills! #KSCBio

[Josh Stevens @JoshuaTEStevens]

I feel like adding more labs to the early bio courses would be really beneficial! As bio students many of us have gone through weekly labs in both chemistry and physics but until upper level bio courses I only recall having one or two labs #KSCBio

Here's a PHENOMENAL blog post by @JacquelynGill for anyone interested graduate school! Be PREPARED and HONEST and realize that you will be an incredible investment for any mentor to take on! #KSCBio https://t.co/ZTsmJpDNOp via @JacquelynGill

My yeast CO2 pump is good to go!

[Josh Stevens @JoshuaTEStevens]

My stomatal plasticity experiment is almost set up! One tank will have CO2 pumped in via yeast respiration from a mixture of yeast, sugar, and warm water, while the other tank will have the same set up minus the yeast #KSCbio #phyteclub #plasticity

[Josh Stevens @JoshuaTEStevens]

What a stunning moth! One would think, with an amazing adaptation such as this, these moths would be much more common than they currently are. These moths migrated to England in the 1700's but mass populations of this species were lost do to a poor climate in the 1950's and 60's

[Josh Stevens @JoshuaTEStevens]

Take a look at the chloroplast movement in these Elodea cells! #KSCBio #PhyteClub
