Do you like green beans? Did you know that green beans and dry beans differ genetically in pod fiber deposition? This paper discusses a vital discovery for the green bean industry, now published in @NewPhyt nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.111…

Behind the scenes of the #PlantScienceSymposium is a passionate team of grad students making it all happen! This year, we’re celebrating 10 years, and we’ll be introducing our team one by one. Stay tuned to meet the faces behind #SMARTagriculture

Registration is OPEN for the 2025 Plant Sciences Symposium! Sept 5 | UIUC 🌱 Theme: SMART Agriculture — Predict, Adapt & Sustain Grad students: Submit abstracts by July 30 (talk) or Aug 20 (poster) 🏆 Travel grants for selected speakers (non-UIUC only) #plantsciences

During the last weeks, I travelled to Brazil, where I met professor Augusto Garcia from the Statistical Genetics Lab at Departamento de Genética ESALQ/USP, where I completed my master's. Feeling excited for what's ahead. 💚

For this reason, I would like to acknowledge my PI, Professor Alex Lipka, and the entire Lipka Lab for their support throughout this busy semester.

This semester challenged, inspired, and reminded me why I love science. It is not only about what I have been learning, but also the people I met along the way, who inspire me to continue. 🩷

Instead of listing my publications, as the year draws to an end, I want to put pressure on the commonplace assumption that productivity must always increase. Good research is disruptive and thinking time is central to high quality scholarship and necessary for disruptive research

Mark Longo has just revealed that the New York Department of Environmental Conservation euthanized his cherished pet squirrel, Peanut. This innocent creature was taken from him, where he had lovingly raised it since it was a baby, after its mother got hit by a car. Mark used the squirrel’s viral popularity to raise funds for animal sanctuaries. Imagine, without any legal basis like a search warrant, the government barged into his home, stole Peanut, and in just 48 hours, ended the life of this harmless, beloved pet.

This is a wrap. The organizing committee extends heartfelt thanks to all the supporting hands that made this event a tremendous success. We appreciate our sponsors, the Department of Crop Sciences, and all the participants. We look forward to seeing you again next year. #PSS_UIUC

Meet our speaker! Dr. Mitchell Tuinstra from @PurdueAgronomy will speak at this year's UIUC Plant Sciences Symposium. To listen to him and others, please register at shorturl.at/KK2L3

Skin runner: First 5km around the Rhine River yesterday in 🇩🇪

@ladymorcega @vanessa_bs @rizbicki @AgenciaFAPESP @govbr Se engravidar no meio não pode prorrogar então??

@talissafloriani @vanessa_bs @rizbicki @AgenciaFAPESP @govbr Pois não se prorroga pós doc FAPESP, máximo é 48 meses SE vinculado à projeto temático .

A partir de 1/8, um pós-doc com bolsa da @AgenciaFAPESP terá uma renda equivalente à de um docente com 10 anos de carreira em universidade federal, incluindo 13º e benefícios Mesmo após reajustes do @govbr, em 2026, pós-docs ainda estarão em melhor situação $ que novos docentes+

@vanessa_bs @rizbicki @AgenciaFAPESP @govbr Ah entendi. Normalmente dura 48 meses, mas acho que depende do projeto que o pesquisador entra, mas também dá pra prorrogar.

@talissafloriani @rizbicki @AgenciaFAPESP @govbr Isso eu já sei. Gostaria de saber por quanto tempo a bolsa de pós doc dura...

@vanessa_bs @rizbicki @AgenciaFAPESP @govbr De que adianta você ter a estabilidade se na prática o salário não anda de acordo com a inflação? Estabilidade financeira já não é mais praticável para novos docentes no BR.

@rizbicki @AgenciaFAPESP @govbr Pode ter essa bolsa por quanto tempo? Pois professor universitário você será por um bom tempo...
