Ivan- I stand with 🇺🇦

Really happy that this paper has come out. Here is a thread I wrote about it when we originally posted the preprint... twitter.com/BaxterTwi/stat… A fantastic job by grad student Laurent Whitt working with a great group of co-authors.

We are recruiting a postdoc @DanforthCenter for #NSF New Roots for Restoration Biology Integration Institute (tinyurl.com/2a7cebu3). Join our team adapting plant phenotyping to enhance restorative practices in agriculture & landscape reconstr. Apply tinyurl.com/2t3su7ej.

Thoughts on leaving academe from a plant biologist. @AcaHumanities @seis_matters @ChronicleReview @insidehighered @taprootpodcast @BaxterTwi @LadyScientist @Doctor_PMS @IHStreet @erikphoel @PeteOlusoga joshuadolezal.substack.com/p/growing-like…

We finally got this 60+ author paper on Inclusive Collaboration done, thanks in large part to @BaxterTwi! Also on the writing team: @IAcornflake @washjd C. Messina, L. Ainsworth, S. Sankaran, & T. Studer, @jdfriesner dx.doi.org/10.1002/pld3.4…

@foxtheatrestl show still on?

Excited to highlight recent work from the lab: CRISPR-targeted transposable element insertion for efficient plant genome engineering researchsquare.com/article/rs-267… Led by the terrific @mcliupeng

Today's episode is SO good. @ehaswell and @BaxterTwi talk with Olivier Hamant about robustness and efficiency--in photosynthesis, plant biology, and in human systems. Check it out: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the…

This research is crucial in supporting the future of bioenergy as companies like @Enterprise Rent-A-Car Institute work to create green alternatives to fossil fuels.

Danforth Center scientist Ivan Baxter, PhD, is on a mission to save water that will grow energy of the future. He will lead a five-year, $16 million, multi-institutional effort to increase the efficiency of water use in sorghum, a versatile bioenergy crop. loom.ly/a2MEeZY

Do you use drones in your research/production program? 🚁📸🌿 Maybe you don’t now, but are sort of drone-curious? 🚁🤔 Perhaps there is NO WAY that drones could add value to your program? 🚁🚫 WE NEED YOUR HELP‼️ Tell us about yourself —> montana.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_3K…

@pavi_narayanan @drdevangm @vt_jithesh @KamounLab @Billion_of_Gods @PlantPhys @ThePlantCell @DORAssessment @ecr_life @ASPB_ECPS @LarryMattYork @ASPB ASPB publicizes their IF because a large percentage of authors care about it. As F&$$ed up as I think that is, there is a large % of the society who still think it matters- and a large number of funders as well.

@drdevangm @vt_jithesh @KamounLab @Billion_of_Gods @PlantPhys @ThePlantCell @DORAssessment @ecr_life @ASPB_ECPS @BaxterTwi @LarryMattYork @ASPB No justifications!

I have reviewed a number of manuscripts submitted to Nat Plants, Plant Cell, Mol Plant, New Phytologist and published all except MP. Based on my experiences, they are all rigolous journals.

I wish I could say something hopeful in response to the Supreme Court rulings of the last two days. But I'm at a loss. The ghoulish march towards more death and disgusting callousness towards peoples bodies- just leaves me at a loss.

Today we host a Special Tea Time in honor of the upcoming 53rd anniversary of the Stonewall uprising. Community members are invited to join a conversation about the historic event, which began the modern fight for gay rights in the U.S., and discuss what it means to be an ally.

Proud to share 'Ten simple rules for succeeding as an underrepresented STEM undergraduate' - maybe this could help someone in your life? This piece will be used as a tool in @DalhousieU's "Scholars and Leaders" program! #DiversityinSTEM #BIPoC journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol/a…

@jrossibarra @PLOS 20 years ago PLOS was at the forefront of improving scientific publishing..... hopefully this is just a bad title.

Wow, what the heck @PLOS? Kinda biased title for a discussion. Also, maybe a decade late -- preprints are here to stay and have been doing just fine, thank you.

Register for our #JGI2022 @jgi Annual Meeting and hear @jennbrophy7 @Stanford on "Synthetic Genetic Circuits to Modify Plant Development." usermeeting.jgi.doe.gov #synbio @StanfordEng @LBNLBioSci @BerkeleyLab

The Novozymes Price Symposium @novonordiskfond is being kicked off by Peer Bork @BorkLab. His warning that many bioinformatics tools are developed in shakily funded low head count teams hits close to home. #NovozymesPrize

Latest in #FoodPricesForNutrition, from @DrKateSchneider: access to nutrients depends not just on food prices, but also household demographics & soil->crop micronutrients. New data from Malawi reveals which nutrients are lacking & how to boost them: sciencedirect.com/science/articl… 1/4

So honored to provide interpretation services alongside another trilingual interpreter in support of an AMAZING Deaf scientist!! She’s impacting generations to come!! Thank you @DanforthCenter for creating a truly inclusive plant biology retreat.

Share and Read our article out today in @ScienceMagazine ... we make the case that students shouldn't be tasked with fixing what they haven't broken. Achieving #STEM diversity requires fixing the classrooms. (1/4) science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
