Forests face escalating threats from pathogens due to climate change & global trade. Yet forest pathology lags behind crop science in understanding microbe-host dynamics at the molecular level. Why? We lack the model systems that revolutionized plant pathology.

Killer fungus will spread as climate heats up, experts warn

The UC Davis plant community is recruiting for a new head of the Charles M. Rick Tomato Genetic Resource center. This position is a cornerstone of the tomato and Solanaceae community and provides some really cool research and teaching opportunities. https://t.co/3YJFOLt3HR

Today is @C_Caseys using one pathogen as a lens to understand how plant defense evolves across species. I mean what sounds easier than measuring ~100 pathogen isolates virulence across ~100 plant genotypes from 8 different species https://t.co/SPrUGR9dtG

The online Biodiversity Genomics Conference (BG24) is happening again 28 Oct - 1 Nov across time zones. To give a talk, apply by 30 June. I can highly recommend it. There will also be another Biodiversity Genomics Academy with BG24. More info on that soon. Please retweet!

Many people have no idea how these things work.

For example, right now, as a Brazilian, I can't accept invitations to speak at conferences in Europe because my visa to work in the U.S. has expired.
I am not illegal; I have a work contract with the University of California until 2027. Still, I must travel outside the U.S. and get a visa stamp on my passport to allow me to move freely to talk about science.
I have to do this every single year I stay in the U.S. The costs of the visa, traveling, time lost, etc, are all on me. Not every international scientist can handle this.

Do you love fungi? Or at least like them enough to spend few years studying their traits in more detail? I am offering a 2-year post-doc position in my group working on my Vidi project on fungal traits and soil functions. Apply before April 28th! https://t.co/c47x8PQKuO

🌱Exciting breakthrough in wheat research!
Scientists have discovered how to make wheat plants drought-resistant, offering hope for improved yields in harsh conditions.

This is the nightmare becoming reality

[Sam Payne @byu_sam]

Well, it happened. I am reviewing a paper that is 100% plagiarized from my work. 🔥🔥
not 100% like "I'm certain it's plagiarized", but 100% like "every figure is from my public GitHub repo linked in the paper they are copying".

Editor friends - how does one review this?

I've got a postdoc position open in my lab. Do you work on moss, single cell transcriptomics or plant developmental genomics? Consider applying for this position - more here: https://t.co/NmTs0EgI2S

Inhibitors of autophagy in fungal pathogens including Botryis and Magnaporthe show promise as anti-fungal agents https://t.co/rGvBLiUYkx

An undergrad driven manuscript is out. We have a set of papers that started in our undergrad lab meeting when a student asked "What happens if we change X that we always do?". They asked what happens if we change the leaf surface being infected? https://t.co/wnyuFcVVFk
