As an advisor, giving feedback can be uncomfortable. But, it’s far better than leaving students to wonder how they are doing. And, receiving feedback is great opportunity for faculty to grow, too!

Researchers at pity! There is no better way to explain the situation! 😀

Happy to share our preprint, it was fun collaborating with Arsheed Sheikh: Comparative transcriptomics reveal conserved modules of plant defence against different pathogens in Strawberry biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Today in nature I ask senior PIs who've pledged to fight racism to start by looking to their own records on mentoring minority trainees. "Lab heads: hold your own feet to the fire." #AcademicTwitter nature.com/articles/d4158…

Botrytis loves sugars! Excellent talk going on by Sarah Courbier (@scourbier.bsky.social)

biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Excited to share my yet another preprint from my own independent idea, on how different tissues of strawberry respond to Botrytis infection. It feels like my ideas got wings!

Please RT. We have an open post-doc position for a highly motivated biologist! Details in the picture below.

I am absolutely thrilled to be here and work on this exciting project!

Super excited about this new publication from our group at Biological, Earth & Environmental Sciences, UCC Special thanks to my mentors Barbara Doyle Prestwich PhD and PLANTeDIT for encouraging me to correspond the article! Miracles can happen with good mentors!

Many many thanks to my mentor Barbara Doyle Prestwich PhD for including me in this highly impactful meeting! Feeling elated about this unique opportunity and fingers crossed for EU to adopt gene editing for agriculture!

It is always exciting to talk to young people! Thanks for inviting me Barbara Doyle Prestwich PhD for this fruitful session!

It is going to be an exciting event! If you're around Cork city, please do come and visit!

Many Thanks Career-FIT & Career-FIT PLUS for the funding and support. It is unbelievable how many doors get open with such a funding!

Genome Editing for Food Security? Come join us for a free discussion in UCC, Cork with experts in science, regulation and agriculture! Can't get more exciting than this!

Great article in Financial Times on the EU's delay in their #farm2fork strategy to cut pesticide use, accepting that its implementation would significantly reduce food production and raise prices. So farmers and growers use pesticides for a reason then...? ft.com/content/380db8…

if only they'd approve replacing pesticides with genetics to control pests and diseases

Amazing turnout today at #CultureNight, enjoyed communicating my research to many excited people! Barbara Doyle Prestwich PhD Enterprise Ireland Biological, Earth & Environmental Sciences, UCC @scienceirel Culture Night SDGoals #CultureNightCork
