SNEAK PEEK! 🥀We're going to be delving into the gruesome world of carnivorous plants and finding out how geneticists are planning to put carnivory genes in our crop plants 🍅 Subscribe now to be the first to listen: geneticsunzipped.com/how-to-listen

@GilbertKadeem @NaomiPierceMCZ Great!

My latest paper on Nepenthes pitchers is now up! Thanks to coauthors Thibaut, Weng Ngai, Felicia, and @NaomiPierceMCZ: tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

Our review paper "The digestive systems of carnivorous plants" is now featured in the issue cover of @PlantPhys . Look at this amazing sundew catching damselflies! This spectacular photo was taken by coauthor Andreas Fleischmann.

It was great presenting in-person again this year. More to come on the microbial half next year!

Jim Tumlinson left us with one last, special article to enjoy and learn from - his autobiography. 🐛 Complex and Beautiful: Unraveling the Intricate Communication Systems Among Plants and Insects annualreviews.org/doi/epdf/10.11…

@k_hockett Great idea!

Not a bad idea, @RennerLab

It's out in First Look in @PhytobiomesJ! @hanareiaehau put in a heroic effort to develop disease suppressive phyllosphere micro communities through serial passaging. #phyllosphere #plantdisease @psuPPEM @huckinstitutes @PSUmBiome tinyurl.com/3auewzh5 1/4

Review of carnivorous plant digestive systems with @kfuku0502 , @RennerLab , @plantgenomes, and others now fully formatted: doi.org/10.1093/plphys…

[New Review] We discuss the digestive capacities of carnivorous plants in comparison to those of animals. Congrats to co-first authors @mattfreund5 and Doro, and to great collaborators @GilbertKadeem @RennerLab @plantgenomes and others not on Twitter! academic.oup.com/plphys/advance…

@Etya_Amsalem Congratulations Etya!

@plantevomorph @calobot @WhimsicalAllium Congratulations! So happy for you three!

A total honor to be photographed with Drs Hernández and Martínez Gómez … the Specht lab adds two new PhDs to our family tree. @calobot @WhimsicalAllium

@plantevomorph @calobot Congratulations @calobot and @plantevomorph!

Dra. Adriana Hernandez ⁦@calobot⁩ representing botany at Cornell! Congratulations on a spectacular PhD defense!!

An article appearing on the @SmithsonianMag website today quotes @RennerLab of the Huck's Center for Parasitic and Carnivorous Plants: smithsonianmag.com/science-nature…

I am looking to hire a postdoc, see: careers.msu.edu/en-us/job/5090…

"The project will result in an understanding of how pathogen populations withstand different types of membrane disruption, and in turn, which treatments could be used in combination to mitigate these effects.” — Kevin Hockett, assistant professor of microbial ecology

@plantevomorph Congratulations - I can’t wait!

Kaplan's Principles of Plant Morphology; just got notice that it’s on its way to the press. It’s taken me 14 long years to make good on this promise. I could not be more relieved to know that Don’s legacy will live on in this holistic treatise. routledge.com/Kaplans-Princi…
