0.3 inches of rain in 3 minutes from this morning atmospheric river in Davis, CA. It was something to behold. Hopefully, rain will abate.

Happy Lunar New Year to everyone! Our manuscript is available online now! It was a long process to finally publish this research, thanks to many people's help and support. :)

[Prof. Keiko Torii @KeikoUTorii]

None of the work was possible w/o the hard work of past/present postdocs/students/techs/collaborators & the generous support from @HHMINEWS, allowing us to pursue high-risk curiosity-driven research. Thank you 🥰🌱🔬

I wonder how many participants are currently traveling to San Diego.

[PAG-International Plant & Animal Genome Conference @PAGmeeting]

Due to the rising number of COVID-19 cases and importance of maintaining a safe and healthy environment for all attending, we have made the difficult decision to cancel #PAGXXIX. Emails to all registered attendees are forthcoming. Thank you for your support and understanding.

I follow 88, I am followed by 999. Dang, I forgot to stop at 42 tweets. Still, I want to crystallize this cosmic social state. Do not drop me or select me for following, please do not...

Most cultivated mints are essentially clones of wild accessions and need yield improvement. @NestorKippes and @IsabelleHenry in the #ComaiLab describe large, untapped yield variation in Mentha longifolia https://t.co/rjPHndZuBf

[Luca Comai @lucacomai]

@BrianDilkes @fulop_dan Agree!

We like to dedicate this work to Simon Chan (1974-2012), who discovered CENH3-mediated haploid induction:
