please consider attending our workshop on desiccation tolerance this January in Limpopo, South Africa! the area is a hotspot of resurrection plant diversity and we will be organizing field trips to showcase local flora and fauna. register here: desworks.co.za/registration

@Kathleen_EBR relatable, I had a defense anxiety dream at the beginning of July and I'm not defending until...next summer 😅

Hear from Alyssa Tarrant, doctoral candidate in the Department of Horticulture at CANR. Tarrant developed an online module to provide a perspective on farmworker labor history and issues to help inform Michigan’s horticulture industry. spr.ly/6015PwwEc

@PlantDoctorC @CherrityG Congratulations Charity!! You deserve it, your defense was amazing!

@CherrityG I'll be there if there's a Zoom! You got this!!

JULY 13TH 9AM MY FUNERAL (Defense) 😂

psyched to see my photo of Craterostigma plantagineum on the cover of @ThePlantJournal 😍! the associated article by @bob_vanburen et. al., describes the genome and transcriptional responses to drying in this beautiful resurrection plant. #Limpopo, South Africa

@CherrityG @aeharkess @hudsonalpha Congratulations!!! So well deserved!

They were. 😉 I'm STOKED to announce my NSF postdoc proposal was recommended for funding! I'll be working to understand the genetic basis of apomixis in the Rosaceae with @aeharkess at @hudsonalpha! Naturally, I'm sticking to Rosaceae as - again - it's the best family. 🌸🤷‍♀️

@CherrityG Well congrats, can't wait to hear the good news! Also, sending hugs, hope things get better for you!

Been feeling pretty sluggish and a bit down lately, but I got news today that feels like the equivalent of 1000 kittens falling on me, so good news to come. 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸

@KEBRhoades @CherrityG @McKenaLWilson Thanks Kathleen! Thankfully it's a simple break and I'm allowed to put weight on it so that helps!

I'd hoped to be at maize meeting starting today, but a broken ankle has changed my plans. However, the amazing @McKenaLWilson is bringing my poster and putting it up for me, so you can still go read it at poster 73! Also, you should check out McKena's talk (number 9)! Thanks!

@CherrityG @McKenaLWilson There was a hole in the sidewalk and I stepped into it and fell over

@AnnaHaber8 @McKenaLWilson AHHHHH WHAT HAPPENED

@SLotreck Thanks!

Feel better Anna!!

new publication on global disparities in plant science. our analysis expose striking inequities along multiple dimensions of diversity—from nationality, to gender, to plant taxonomy. these findings are not surprising, but they are important! pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Excited to share our new paper led by @JeremyPardo2 where we developed a predictive model for drought stress in maize and sorghum, and identified a deeply conserved drought response between species. @MSU_PRI @addie_maize @EdBuckler @hauteHominy pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

@chdiep @addie_maize @NAPPN_org Congratulations Addie!
