Colleagues, please help me to spread the news!!! At #UF we are hiring PhD students and postdocs.

Are you interested in helping plant scientists (breeders, crop physiologist, etc.) to advance their research using AI?

[Lipka Lab @LabLipka]

Lab member Sarah had the opportunity to visit The Land Institute, @NatureAsMeasure ,this past weekend where she gave a presentation, meet some exceptional scientist, and learned more about the fantastic work on perennial species.

[Lipka Lab @LabLipka]

The Lipka Lab is proud to announce that Lipka Lab member, @MatthewMurph, is now a Ph.D. candidate!

[Matthew 'Murph' Murphy, PhD @MatthewMurph]

I am happy to announce that I am now a Ph.D. Candidate! 🥳

Last week was a busy week for the Lipka Lab. The Lipka Lab and our collaborators, the Eveland Lab, phenotyped our main UIUC field. To potentially speed up phenotyping this year, both labs decided to give our field a little color to pre-mark plants for phenotyping.

[Lipka Lab @LabLipka]

This past week the lab attended the annual AIFarms conference where we had the opportunity to learn more about the research and collaborations happening at UIUC between Crop Science and Computer Science. The overlap between these fields is an exciting area for innovation!

[Lipka Lab @LabLipka]

The Lipka Lab supports our students being involved with the Corteva Agriscience Plant Sciences Symposia Series. This year's symposium co-chair at UIUC is no other than the Lipka Lab's very own @MatthewMurph.

[UIUC Plant Science Symposium @UIUCPlantSciSym]

Meet our speakers! This year we will have fantastic speakers! Join us to learn from plants growing.The space to robotics in agriculture and much more! Learn more about them in our website! Registration and abstract submissions also in our website https://t.co/mLDbwgXQe0
