Exciting post-doc opportunity in our lab in Fargo, ND working on effector biology of the barley net form net blotch pathogen Pyrenophora teres f. teres. Apply at prd.hcm.ndus.edu/psc/recruit/EM…

These poor potatoes are hardly out of the ground and they’re already half eaten by Colorado potato beetles.

New paper ! Excited to get this one out. Great collaborative project (neat story about how it formed). Effector -> nucleus, changes splicing of R gene, leading to production of R protein that recognizes the same effector in cytoplasm to elicit HR. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Excited to have this paper published! Here we looked at single-cell responses to virulent Pseudomonas within a leaf, followed by spatial investigation. Collab with @colepbio Signe Lolle Brian Kvitko and heavy lifting by Jie Zhu. cell.com/cell-reports/f…

Attendees of #2023ISMPMI #ISMPMI2023 IS-MPMI This year there will be a neutral, on-site Conference Ombuds. Please join a listening sessions, share your experiences, wishes & needs. We can make conferences more welcoming for all. More info rootandshoot.org/developing-a-s… Plz share!

To my friends and colleagues attending the IS-MPMI Congress - this memorial (just a couple blocks from the convention center) is a great reminder of how plant pathology impacted the history of this region of the US.

Ummm, we need to talk.

It’s a beautiful morning in Providence! Im looking forward to a final day of #2023ISMPMI filled with exciting science and activities. IS-MPMI

Great to see Mitch, Dennis, and Matt again at #2023ISMPMI Two decades of Mla from Ames ... I am dwarfed by giants. See you next time 😎 ISU Plant Pathology IS-MPMI

Wonderful kickoff to the Potato Association annual meeting with a Prince Edward Island Mi’kmaq representative who told amazing stories about the island through song. Great acknowledgement of the land that they call home, and a fantastic welcome. Thanks @rbarrettPEI PEI Potatoes

Another beautiful morning in Charlottetown, PEI. Looking forward to learning about more exciting potato research at day 3 of the Potato Association annual meeting.

Connor Hendrich et al. from the lab of @CaitilynAllen found that a byproduct of denitrification, the toxic free-radical nitric oxide, positively regulates the Ralstonia solancearum type III secretion system both in vitro and in planta. 🔓 doi.org/10.1094/MPMI-1…

Don’t miss my presentation at The American Phytopathological Society #PlantHealth2023, on Tuesday, August 15! I'm presenting at 9 am on deoxynivalenol (DON) in corn silage as part of the 22nd I. E. Melhus Graduate Student Symposium.

Congrats to Courtney C Meeks for placing at this year’s Pitch120 event at #PlantHealth2023 meeting. Learning about WI wines was a big hit!

Just checked in to one of the only Airbnbs worthy of someone with a career in potato research. 😁

It's mornings like this that gave me the inspiration for our logo for the 2025 Potato Association of America annual meeting in Madison. Please join us July 27-31 in Madison, WI to learn about the latest and greatest in potato research. Potato Association
