Hi Everyone!! We are super excited to launch the Pride in Microbiology Network, a community-building initiative for the 2SLGBTQIA+ community in microbiology. Check us out in Nature Microbiology: nature.com/articles/s4156…

We have T-shirts for Pride in Microbiology ! Read more about it here: nature.com/articles/s4156…

Our latest pre-print has dropped. We explore the link between ethylene and the often lamented (and scientifically interesting) changes in floral sex observed in cannabis. Sexual plasticity is the word of the day! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

It's been an exciting week in the Torkamaneh lab! Check out our latest review where we explore how modern genomics can help us resolve the 'one or more than one species' debate in #cannabis Congrats to our MSc student Éliana LaPierre for her first publication 👏🤩

Wrapping up the fabulous 2024 #2SLGBTQ+ #STEM Conference at University of Regina. An amazing bonus of this conference was being able to share my research alongside my high school friend Dan! Thank you to all the organisers for creating such a engaging space for queer scientists!

At the opening ceremony of the IBC2024! Anyone of my Twitter connections attending? I'll be presenting my latest research on #Cannabis sexual plasticity at poster 104, come find me this week and learn about plant sex change! #PlantScience #IBC2024

Amazing human being! If you are a social scientist passionate about Marine Affairs, check Dr. Harrison out!

Come see my poster #104. I'll be there every coffee break for the remaining days of the conference! Learn about #Cannabis sexual plasticity! ♂️♀️⚧️
