Congratulations to prof. Matthew Smith, elected to the newest class of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. The honor is among the most distinctive in academia and recognizes extraordinary impact and achievement across disciplines.

63 yrs. ago today, the A&T Four: Jibreel Khazan (formerly Ezell Blair Jr.), Joseph McNeil, the late Franklin McCain & the late David Richmond ignited national change through the sit-in movement. Today we honor them. Join our livestream celebration, at 8am. youtu.be/dyf2_SXvXhw

The first time I was learning about Tukey tests, I really thought it was the Postdoc Test not a Post HOC test 😅

Bacteria oozing from freshly cut stem of tomato infected with Ralstonia solancearum, causal agent of bacterial wilt. Note milky white strands flowing from cut surface. This is an exciting event in the lab each year #bacteria #Tomato #Plantdisease

Last night with NCSU Plant Pathology Graduate Student Association we shared an amazing night of science and had the opportunity to introduce an intro to plant pathogens at the STEM NIGHT in River Dell school for 1st and 2nd graders!! The kids were so amazed and engaged with learning! 👩🏽‍🏫🧫🔬💚 NCSU Entomology & Plant Pathology

The “evil” Southern blight of tomato. The fungal pathogen can attack any part of a plant that touches infested soil, but most commonly attacks the stem near the soil line. The fungus produces white mycelia or hyphae around infected plant parts. #Plantdisease #Fungus #Tomato

A huge shout out to Alejandra I. Huerta and David A. Rasmussen for being named Goodnight Early Career Innovators. You contribute so much to NCSU Entomology & Plant Pathology, NC State College of Agriculture and Life Sciences and NC State University and your research is outstanding. They #ThinkAndDoTheExtraordinary Congratulations!

Happy birthday to Alejandra I. Huerta ! I hope this year brings you all you heart desire’s (and all the grant money academia has to offer 😉)

Alejandra I. Huerta at NCSU Entomology & Plant Pathology is developing an ecological community-level understanding of how plant pathogenic bacteria survive and compete in agricultural microbiomes and aims to develop new management and diagnostic tools and host/microbiome interaction models.

They say a picture is worth 1000 words: here’s 2000. Control Plots (no management) vs. Treated Plots. What an exciting time of the year!

Oops..... Southern stem blight starting up in tomato.

Caught a "little" hail on these tomatoes last night.

Come join our awesome team! A postdoc position is now open in the Soil Micro lab UF/IFAS SWFREC UF/IFAS Dept of Soil, Water & Ecosystem Sciences to explore the soil #microbiome of #citrus and #vegetable crops. More details here: ow.ly/lepl50OcPSi #soilhealth #covercrops #postdoc

Southern blight on tomato causing wilt/death of plants. The pathogen can attack any part of a plant that touches infested soil. A dark canker forms near soil line, often covered with white mycelium. White-tan to brown sclerotia may also be visible #Fungi Fungi #Tomato

Vortexes are simple devices commonly used in labs to mix small vials of liquid. But have you ever tried vortexing your finger? This watercolor is a tribute to the vortex - a simple but indispensable lab device
