I feel like the amount of recent convos I've had about the instability of organics has really made an impact and that makes me happy

Happy to see our paper out😀Beautiful work by Monica in our lab!!! #agrobacterium biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

That's my hand!

Global warming is the biggest threat of our time & trees are one of our natural weapons to capture carbon. What if they could help faster? We @living_carbon are excited to unveil that photosynthesis-enhanced trees can grow faster and capture more carbon. Here's how we did it 🧵

Today’s research is just the first step in demonstrating how empowering ecology, through the responsible use of biotechnology in trees, can be a scalable and viable solution to the climate crisis. #ClimateAction #ClimateTech

@TimFutureLeaf Can it survive at -196?

Seeing if a strain, Ach5, that has been in the freezer longer than I have been alive will wake up.... #agrobacterium

@TimFutureLeaf @espn I was saying the same damn thing!!! Luckily it didn't matter but refs were god awful.

@espn How is this different than the incomplete pass bama had and was incomplete?

This was ruled a fumble and recovered by Alabama. #NationalChampionship

@CharlestonPD Heard the shots, multiple guns followed by a pause and then 5-6 shots from a handgun. Terrifying.

CPD is currently in the area of Rice Drive and Ashley River Rd in reference to a shooting involving multiple victims. We will provide information as available. #chsnews

Our first white x white cross in the greenhouse looks absolutely stunning! 😊

I cut my hair short for the first time since high-school. I'm either getting old, or getting close to the Britney Spears phase of the pandemic.

@EvanMcSoy Nice! You working on those photoshop skills for the background?

Excessively used word in plant genetics: 'toolbox'

#AcademicTwitter: I used to be a horrible scientific writer. I was paralyzed by writing anxiety & it took me FOREVER to write papers. Last year I published 14 scientific articles (8 first, 2 second, 2 senior-author) & 2 book chapters. A thread⬇️on how I became more productive:

@EvanMcSoy The lengths organic people go to...

Don't need dicamba if you just roll some coal on those weeds

@EvanMcSoy Just remember who came up with your handle

@TallfescWho You're just mad you had to settle for tallfescWho because someone already took y'allfescue

Assuming I complete my PhD I think it's only fair that you should all call me Plague Doctor "Bones" McCoy #plaguedoctor
