Empty campuses. Tuition shortfalls. Enrollment doubts. Coronavirus has thrown higher education into crisis mode. https://t.co/CEuI3W109E via @WSJ

Happy International Day for Biological Diversity!

Forty years ago today, at 8:32 a.m., the eruption of Mount St. Helens forever changed the state of Washington. The volcano’s north face exploded with the force of several atomic bombs, and the shock of that morning remains fresh in the memories of anyone who experienced it.

Such a great story to celebrate the power of plant science!

A reminder to use @amazonsmile to donate to the American Chestnut Foundation!

#ChE340 Just because no one's on campus doesn't mean I can't carry on tradition of 'cellulosic & algae biofuels' outdoor lecture... just means that I can't have a #frisbeeChallenge! Impressed by @zoom_us

Glad to take undergrad Brett under my wing for some #realEngineering

Just a glimpse into the level of thought and effort it takes to design a FUNCTIONAL space for research #GreenbergMove

(But check out my wiring job on growth lighting / timer outlet apparatus!)

[Curtis Lab Tweets @curtislabtweets]

Working in my new lab & lights went off b/c I’m outside field of motion (e.g. behind laminar hood, on floor). Anybody else have this problem? @LindnerLab @MikeAxtell @LaskyJR @microdudley @Buckhout_Bull @SBVelegol @TheFerrariLab @zombieantguy @CameronLabPSU @beckydamico

Artists installed seesaws at the border wall so that kids in the U.S. and Mexico could play together. It was designed by architect Ronald Rael. ⁣

Beautiful reminder that we are connected: what happens on one side impacts the other.

#AcademicTwitter There's always a question of balance b/w publication & #actualResearch. I've admittedly favored the latter. I spent 30 min 2 reflect on things not yet published... some are decades old. Almost 1 / year of service; I'm entering 31st year as @penn_state professor.

[Curtis Lab Tweets @curtislabtweets]

Congratulations 2 @PennStateChE colleague & my @DARPA Insect Allies co-PI on full professorship--long overdue! Look forward 2 co-publishing w/our grad student Natalie Thompson on models of crop 'gene therapy'! @ivan_amato @DarrellVelegol @SBVelegol @PSUAIChE Congratz Esther 2! ;)

Photos from weekend hike up Alan Seeger complete with 'obstacle course' (e.g. fallen tree, electric wires) with my grad student Jishnu Bhatt (Plant Biology, Ph.D. '2021)--nature is the ultimate teacher! Jishnu took amazing long exposure photo of me with Millbrook Marsh fireflies!
