Davidson Biology Ty Cryan '24 and Ramsey Chaaban '24 presenting research at the Maize Genetics Meeting! 🌽🧬

‼️The wait is almost over‼️ Join us at #Atwood2024 for all kinds of exciting talks from our University of Toronto EEB folks and our amazing keynote speakers for this year: Dr. Mercedes Pascual 🦠, Dr. Luis Zaman (Luis Zaman)🧫, and Dr. Lauren Shoemaker (@LG_Shoemaker) 🏞️ See ya'll there!!✨

I’m happy to say that my last dissertation chapter is now out as a preprint! We find that expanding gene families are essential for context-dependency of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbiosis. biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 1/8

Louissa Bartkovich explains how complex seasonal patterns align with flowering phenology🌸

Beyond happy to have presented at Moved to @eebatwood.bsky.social on how seasonal complexity can build an understanding of flowering time in Clarkia pulchella! 🌸 Next stop Evolution! Huge thanks to Tara McGruder for her amazing illustrations and @BontragerLab for her continued mentorship!

Very excited that my first ever paper is out now, with Amy Angert and Takuji Usui | 薄井拓路! Using duckweed, we examined how R*, a resource-acquisition trait that represents competitive ability, varies across temperatures and genotypes 🦆🍃 besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

Candid shots from lorianne willett 🪐🦋💐 that capture the essence of the student protests at UT Austin. Shame on APD and DPS for their use of force and violence against students exercising their 1st amendment right to protest.

🚨 LIBERATED!! University of Toronto students have SUCCESSFULLY set up their ENCAMPMENT of King's College Circle in SOLIDARITY WITH PALESTINE, despite attempts by police to disrupt our non-violent protest. Welcome to the People's Circle for Palestine.

This is Annelise Orleck who is the head of the Jewish Studies program at Dartmouth and 65 years old.

Glad to contribute to this #sciart series w/ a piece on a Bucknell University Integrated Perspectives course taught with Anna Kell - co-authored by student Diamanda Zizis and featuring work produced in class by Sophie McQuade. #plantjoy #bisonflowers

The newly patented Plop -> Pour -> Place method for seed filtration These #ragweed seeds are done ❄️stratifying❄️ and off to 🌱germinate🌱

I am absolutely thrilled to share that in July 2025 I'll be moving across the lake to the University of Rochester to join the Department of Biology as an Assistant Professor!

Sneak preview of my #CSEE2024 poster 🏔️🌱🌸 Come check out the rest at poster 109 and let’s chat about variation in the life history strategies of Streptanthus! Research with @BontragerLab

The lab is hiring a postdoctoral fellow to work on the historical and contemporary population genomics of invasive capeweed! Collaborative work with Kay Hodgins , Tim Conallon, Akane Uesugi, and Allan Ellis, please share on whatever platforms are cool! eeb.utoronto.ca/wp-content/upl…

Check out this ✨AMAZING✨ visual abstract in the #EEBQuarterly Created by Tara McGruder an equally ✨AMAZING✨ undergrad in the @BontragerLab

I had a pulcHELLA of a time at #Evol2024 !! Thank you again to @BontragerLab for her superb mentorship and the amazing undergraduate researchers (especially Tara McGruder for her amazing scientific illustrations) !! 🌸🌷🪻

It's not a snail but the #caterpillar of the #moth genus Carea, and it's our Observation of the Day! Seen in #Malaysia by rhinolin. More details at: inaturalist.org/observations/2… #nature #insects #biodiversity

A little late, but I had a great time at #evolution2024! There were sooo many interesting talks and I loved learning about things outside of my wheelhouse. Thanks to everyone who stopped by my poster to learn about the three sisters 🌽🫛🎃 (there’s no other squash emoji!)
