At heart, still mostly a geneticist; admittedly over-enthusiastic about maize; in 2024, reminding everyone that the @TheB52s should be in the @rockhall !

Ossoff: This is what small men like Donald Trump and JD Vance and Stephen Miller will never understand—that our national greatness flows not through our blood or our genes, but through our ideas.

Americans are not a race, we're a people united not by ethnicity, but by our shared convictions, and that is what makes us exceptional

@ATinyGreenCell It really is. At the end of the day, only two things we do in academia truly matter: the truth we discover and the people we help develop. Everything else is a means to those two

Heartbreaking and coming for more of us. My daily panic focuses on figuring out how I will to fund students and keep my lab open without another grant, and I’m not alone. So many of us want to be here, do science, and mentor but without federal support, our labs will close. 💔

Scottie just told me that they got @ASPB ASPB SURF!!!

Congratulations, Scottie 🎉🍀🔬

Looking forward to having you in the lab over the summer

Beautiful work! This study has completely changed the way we should think about plant germlineS, yes with a capital S.

[Brad Nelms @NelmsLab]

Excited to share our preprint! By avoiding genetic bottlenecks leading to the germline, plant development prevents mutations from spreading to many offspring: https://t.co/ITxZ7cxm1E

Between the catastrophic funding cuts and the quietly but sharply increasing foreign recruitment of American talent, the US is set to lose its lead in science and technology far faster than most people on here have any idea of

Pat Schnable (@schnablep) invented 17 patents and spun 5 companies out of his work at ISU. Now elected to NAI. Also a great story about how @IowaStateU made a conscious decision to support professors translating research into private sector impact. Congratulations, Dad.

It's good to be back with a new season of #No_Time_To_Read_podcast! 🍀

This podcast, which I started as a postdoc, is growing with me. Thanks for your support over the years.

We have great a line up of awesome plant scientists appearing in Season 4! 🎙️
