Years ago I decided to only publish and serve on @plantdisease journals. I have an automated response I use for requests from other journals. Recently, several colleagues have asked me for it, so decided to share here in case it is helpful 😁 #AcademicChatter

Had a productive and fun last week at #PAG31 in San Diego. Got an opportunity to present a poster-genome sequencing of Phytophthora. Proud to be part of @WhitehillLab. Thank you @WhitehillJustin, Angela Chiang, Ross Whetten, and Jack Wang for the support and great company.

Our newest #invasive pest, elm zigzag sawfly, is on the move. This piece might overplay its impact, but Jessica Cancelliere @NYSDEC is right- don't overreact! We have pesticide trials underway, so hopeful for control options soon. Report it if you see it! cbsnews.com/newyork/news/i…

Christmas tree season may be over, but our researchers study the tree's genetics all year. 🎄 Thanks to a nearly $385,000 grant, @WhitehillLab, in partnership with @NCAgriculture, will construct a 3,200-square-foot seed processing facility in Ashe County. ncst.at/Wlu250MyoTF

Our work also supports other conifers including Leyland Cypress, Virginia pine, and other species grown by the Eastern North Carolina Christmas Tree Growers Association as Christmas trees and plant materials used in greenery production like wreaths and garlands! #Fraserfir

Great work as well to CTG team members that weren't present including @dp_adarsha , @Saikarthik & @CalebCothron who are all working to improve the Fraser fir for @NCchristmasTree growers.

We are lucky to have such a talented team to move these projects forward. I can't fail to mention Angela Chiang for keeping all of us in line and the lab running smoothly. She didn't want to talk this time so she was in the background.

Both of their research projects support the somatic embryogenesis (SE) work that Yannick Favre is doing to develop clonally propagated conifers! SE is the only way to rapidly propagate new genetics quickly in conifers.
