@_beccaharrison @soiled_plants2 I have!!! I did the breeder’s equation in purple for a member of my cohort, and a phylogenetic tree showing the evolution of cold adaption for another!

I'm excited to announce that this January, I will be starting an NSF PRFB postdoc at the University Minnesota with Dr. Candy Hirsch, Dr. Aaron Lorenz, and Dr. David Tilman to explore the genomics of grass-legume interactions. I'm looking forward to this next chapter in my career!

[Dr. Aimee Schulz @aimeejschulz]

I'm proud to reintroduce myself as Dr. Aimee Schulz, PhD! Thank you to my labmates, collaborators, friends, and family who all were here to cheer me on today both in person and online. I'd also like to thank my advisor Dr. Ed Buckler for all of his mentoring and support.

Honored to have been awarded Best Student Poster Presentation at @icqg2024 for my poster on across-species association mapping to identify the genetics of perenniality. Thank you to @GeneticsGSA for sponsoring this award!

[Dr. Merritt Khaipho-Burch @MerKhaiBurch]

I officially graduated from @Cornell! I became the first doctor in my family and the first person on my mom's side to get more than an 8th-grade education. I now join the 0.27% of Indigenous and 4% of Asian (no Thai-specific stats) doctorate recipients in the plant sciences! 🌽🌾

@scott_stelpflug @SyngentaUS Huge congrats!

Clouds didn’t stop our fun watching the eclipse. What an incredible experience being in the path of totality!

[Dr. Catherine Macdonald @dr_catmac]

This thread is for students who didn't win the GRFP today. Who are wondering if they actually belong in science, or scrolling through a bunch of tweets that start "So excited to announce..." with a little spurt of bitterness they aren’t proud of. 1/9

Determining my defense date has been a bit like naming a final version of a file. In other news, “PhD_Defense_final_finalForReal_actualFinal.seminar” has been set!

[Dr. Aimee Schulz @aimeejschulz]

#MGM2024 make sure to stop by poster 181 and take part in our outreach game on plant domestication and adaptation! It’s an interactive poster, so get creative and make some seeds!

We’ll test out everyone’s designs TONIGHT at 10pm by our poster - there will be a leaf blower!

[Dr. Aimee Schulz @aimeejschulz]

@scott_stelpflug @JoeGage10 Thanks! Looking forward to building the model more and answering your question!

[Dr. Aimee Schulz @aimeejschulz]

Honored to have received 2nd place in the Larry Darrah Student Presentation Contest at this year’s Corn Breeding Research meeting for my work on intraspecific competition dynamics in US inbred and hybrid maize. Thanks @JoeGage10 and Jim Holland for organizing!
