Every researcher's dream is to have their own "research laboratory," and today, I’m incredibly happy to announce the launch of my very own Molecular Biology Laboratory at the University of Minnesota.

@Karthik41815992 @IMGLOBAL @carlehospital Yes, Agree, they haven't settled mine yet, its been almost 2 years now

[Dhananjay Gotarkar @d_gotarkar]

@IMGLOBAL

I have a claim pending from early 2021, I called multiple times and still you havent resolved the issue.

Please support your customers.

[Dhananjay Gotarkar @d_gotarkar]

@USAndIndia My wife has approved emergency visa appointment request since last 6 days but unable to see any open slots even after checking every 5-6 hours everyday and today is the deadline for emergency approval. due to emergency circumstances she needs to be in USA soon. Help

[Dhananjay Gotarkar @d_gotarkar]

@IMGLOBAL I sent you email last week. No one had responded back yet. Can IMG authorities please look into this issue? Will appreciate your support. Thank you

[Dhananjay Gotarkar @d_gotarkar]

@IMGLOBAL Hi I have called to your team multiple times and they did try to help but the issues hasn't resolved yet.

Are you interested in root biology and plant adaptation to changing environments? I'm recruiting a postdoctoral researcher to study switchgrass roots. Check out Job IDs 43772 at https://t.co/FmjRp2K6lp

We have developed a protocol for high-throughput screening of field grown soybean for measuring photo-protection relaxation. The Video will be out soon.

[The RIPE Project @RIPEproject]

RIPE researchers from @UofIllinois and @Cambridge_Uni reported a high-throughput method for screening rates of NPQ relaxation in field-grown plants that allows researchers to test hundreds of genotypes within a day.

[Matthew Brooks @MDakotaBrooks]

Come work on this exciting new project with us! New molecular tools, crop physiology, and building TF networks to improve photosynthesis.

Reach out if you have any questions and please RT.

.@RIPEproject research breakthrough, published in @ScienceMagazine, shows significant improvement in soy yields.

Congrats to Prof. Steve Long and the entire @LongLab team, which has international support from the @gatesfoundation and others.

Another publication. Congratulations everyone

[Science Magazine @ScienceMagazine]

Bioengineering soybean plants to improve regulation of photoprotection—a natural process that enables plants to cope with excess absorbed light energy—improved soybean seed yield by up to 33% in field trials.

Read that study and more this week in Science: https://t.co/0SmI5qA2CI

If you are the odd one it doesn't mean you don't fit in, you are just one step ahead of everyone else.

There's always more to learn & recall your experiences in science. Testing selected poplar genotypes at different light intensity episodes for their photoprotection abilities and photosynthetic efficiency.

What a postdoc should do when they attend an interview and does not hear back from the interviewer for a month, no reply to emails, no defined timeline of results. Does #academia even value time and energy a postdoc spends preparing an interview?

[Dhananjay Gotarkar @d_gotarkar]

We are at @ORNL Tennessee, screening #poplar genotypes for natural variation in NPQ relaxation, its been a long drive and long day, everyday so far.

Understanding poplar candidate genes for #photoprotection #NPQrelaxation in tobacco using #Agroinfiltration mediated chlorophyll fluorescence analysis. This is the Nth time I am doing this to see the consistency and reproducibility of the results.

Sunday results

[Dhananjay Gotarkar @d_gotarkar]

Weekend working is not for everyone but sometimes it gives you satisfaction to see successful results.
