As we enter the upcoming #gradadmissions season, proud of Yale EEB for some of the changes we’ve made in the past year to improve the transparency and accessibility of our process (1/n)

Many fieldwork-dependent disciplines struggle with diversity b/c of safety issues for students & faculty of color. Joshua Anadu (@blckthghtz), @HendrattaAli, Christopher Jackson (@seis_matters) et al have recommendations for how to help: bit.ly/3ut7T4X

My review of being back on campus for classes: so nice to see people + sit outside, but I can’t help feeling guilty and like I’m wasting time walking from building to building 🥲

I apologize for not responding to your e-mail sooner. One day all of us will have to convince ourselves we spent the gift of time on earth well.

Planning to spend my first /very/ late night in lab tonight 🥶 wish me luck!

I am working on my research proposal for my qualifying exam. Does anyone else feel like writing even a single sentence for science can be an emotional rollercoaster? 🤣😅

Our paper “A hybrid inorganic–biological artificial photosynthesis system for energy-efficient food production” is out @NatureFood! We propose a new technology for energy efficient food production independent of biological photosynthesis. 1/👇 nature.com/articles/s4301…

Check out the National Geographic article about our recent work on growing food w/o photosynthesis written by Maddie Stone Can food crops grow in the dark? Scientists are working out how. nationalgeographic.com/environment/ar…

The formula for photosynthesis is pretty basic: water, carbon dioxide, and light. But how do we adapt when one of those things is taken away? youtu.be/zZrmp5xNcuY

I discussed my research in the OC register! 🍅

My lab is hiring! We are looking for a full-time lab technician to assist with tomato transformations starting May 1st, 2023 or later. Please share this opportunity! Interested applicants can reach out to me with any questions. 🍅

Our work on producing food without photosynthesis has been featured in a news article Science Magazine written by Bob Service! Check it out to learn about how we are trying to reimagine food production on Earth and in space! 🚫☀️➡️🌱🍅🍄➡️🍽️ science.org/content/articl…
