#BHM Meet Catherine Danmaigona Clement, a PhD student at Texas A&M University! Catherine deploys genomics to understand cotton fusarium wilt disease outbreaks.

Marking a milestone in #plant #genomics!!! An amazing team of scientists around the globe unraveled the giant #fababean genome (~ 13 Gb), which is now out nature ..Huge congrats to all authors!!! #plantprotein Leibniz IPK Leibniz-Gemeinschaft nature.com/articles/s4158…

Finally at the end of my PhD. Feels very surreal! This incredible journey has been filled with countless memorable moments, fascinating discoveries &exciting events. Very thankful for my PI’s, mentors, family & friends. 🥳🥳🎉 Libo Shan Ping He @MpmiTamu Zunyong Liu

Has anyone figured out how to permanently filter off tweets? I don’t understand what’s happening here. My feed is flooded with all types of unwanted contents from unknown folks and bots. Finding pertinent tweets requires sifting through a lot. Ughh, I miss my academic feed.

If you are on the job market, don’t forget to ask about paid parental leave. IMO, even if you aren’t planning on being a parent, it says a lot about how the institution values the humanity of their employees

Kicking off the year at #PAG32! It’s been great catching up on exciting advances in genomics, collaborators, and colleagues. Don’t forget to swing by the Bayer | Crop Science booth #318 to chat with us and for the puzzle hunt drawing today at noon

Had a great discussion on the implementation of pangenomes 🍌🧬 into banana breeding programs through the Bayer | Crop Science - IITA modern breeding projects! Great chatting with Todd Micheal Salk Institute &Allan Brown IITA Stella Salvo #PAG32 #smallHolderFarmers

I am proud to announce I will be the next Danforth Center President starting in October. I will continue leading ENSA but reduce my research activities. Plant science is key to sustainable, secure food. I am excited to drive that push at this prestigious organization.

We are now offering a 3-day weekend workshop on high-throughput phenotyping. Participants will learn how to set up and operate a UAS system, obtain phenotypes from aerial image data & analyze the phenotypic data in ways useful for crop research or breeding applications.
