@TimothyDSnyder It’s a great class Tim. Thanks for sharing it , your enthusiasm for the subject and love of the people shines through every time. Every lecture has been a joy

Two million views of my open Yale lecture class on the history of Ukraine. The first lecture is here. youtu.be/bJczLlwp-d8

@ToddFitchette You should get it! You’d pull into a meeting or event and people would have no doubt that @ToddFitchette has arrived.

@ToddFitchette That’s surprisingly good - I figured all that metal and machinery would put it in the single digits.

@ToddFitchette What’s the gas mileage on this bad boy Todd?

That was a lot of rain today folks, I’m worried our strawberry season might be done now

@IPMCorner @StanVEG_Up @UCIPM What’s your call tho Jhalendra? Leave the thrips to eradicate the mites? Can they do it?

Visited a watermelon field infested with spider mites with @StanVEG_Up. Also, noticed six-spotted thrips feeding on various life stages of mites. Six-spotted thrips is an important predator for multiple crops, including almond and watermelon. Fit them into your IPM program @UCIPM

@ToddFitchette Some cooling from the elevated humidity do you think?

@ToddFitchette @Emokwx @brendonme Life insurance premiums are probably pretty high for that type of work

Looks like I’m on team “too far” this chase season

Getting set up for our first extension meeting in two years next week!

@UCDRange Snap décision & hooked up another machine, whose very moment of readiness was accompanied by the completion of updating on the original. Never a dull moment #UCCE extension!

@MarkBolda How were your interpretive dance skills? Or did you go with shadow puppets? 🤪

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but turn on your computer at least 30mins before giving a class lecture — or IT may push an update 10 minutes into your slides 🤪

A friend dropped off some Chandler, this a good berry! First released in 1984, this one has not lost its style. I’d describe it as spritely, not too sweet but right there.

@ToddFitchette What did you think of them?

@ToddFitchette Amen Todd, amen.

@ToddFitchette @farmpress I really appreciate you being out there and sharing w everyone what is going on and being said.

@ToddFitchette @farmpress Good reporting Todd. Clarity and certainty means a potential registrant has the necessary information for making a decision on committing resources into an attempt at a label for a product.

@ToddFitchette Buy strawberries instead of those apples - prices back to growers waaaay down right now.

I’m hiring for UC Yolo orchard research & extension. Great job for a recent Davis/Chico/Fresno/Poly ag grad interested in developing science-based solutions for real-world ag issues & translating research into action. Please spread the word! 1/3 careerspub.universityofcalifornia.edu/psp/ucanr/EMPL…

That quarter inch of rain Fri & Sat won’t amount to much strawberry fruit damage . 👀 for Botrytis tho in mid April or so - extended moisture on open flowers bad news
