Excited to share the recent progress in weed genomics and ideas for future research! Many thanks to all the brilliant contributors including Jake Montgomery Sarah Morran @plantenv @malherbologist @PaulNeve10 @jmkreinz Muthu Bagavathiannan Luan Cutti Neeta Soni @ksumithila @GenomEric

This week we were visited by @plantenv from Rothamsted Research ! It was a great time of scientific discussion and networking.

Thrilled to co-first author my first pub in Nature Communications!! Very grateful for my awesome PI @GenomEric and postdoc mentor @nathan81762287 for their guidance on this one. nature.com/articles/s4146…

O Rio Grande está em luto. Já são 21 vítimas confirmadas em decorrência das chuvas que começaram no domingo. Estamos consternados com a letalidade desse evento climático e mobilizados para salvar todos que ainda correm perigo.

I had the pleasure of presenting two talks at the International Plant & Animal Genome Conference (PAG31) on behalf of the International Weed Genomics Consortium IWGC) in the 'Weeds and Invasive Plant Genomics' and 'Oats, Wild and Cultivated'.

Congratulations to our UFRGS MSc student Eduardo Rudell visiting @GenomEric at MSU for the 1st place on Master SST on WSSA WSSA in Santo Antônio, TX. Belo trabalho!!

I had an amazing time at Michigan State University in Patterson Lab!!! I’m gonna miss you guys. Artist: Rebecka Dücker

The end of the journey at MSU. Many thanks to Dr. @GenomEric and the whole Weed Science crew. It has been an amazing experience. Also, many thanks to the Weed_Genomics and Dr. Todd Gaines for trusting in my work.

Wonderful time at the Rothamsted Research PhD Symposium and pleased to be awarded with the “Best Poster Presentation” prize! Special thanks to @plantenv Aldo Merotto for the guidance and Donna Fellowes for organising the event.

Dr. Patterson is now committed to Grêmio FBPA . Welcome to the family!

Grateful for the enriching experience of connecting with fellow visiting scholars and presenting my research at the 8th Annual International Scholar Showcase at #MSU! 🌍 #FulbrightColombia

I'm delighted to share that I've joined Corteva Agriscience headquarters in Indianapolis as a Visiting Scientist (Weed Management). I'm very excited to collaborate with outstanding individuals within the company and make contributions to world food production.

MSU Plant Resilience Institute @msupri.bsky.social 🌱Thrilled for this learning opportunity and connecting with amazing people! Huge thanks to @PoliciaAntinar, Policía de Colombia, Fulbright Colombia, Unisalle, @GenomEric, Luan Cutti, and Geisson Guadir—your support has been crucial. #DiosyPatria🌱

Super excited to share the outcome of a great collaboration in discovering a new eccDNA rearrangement. 🧬 What will the next eccDNA discovery be?

Congrats Eric Patterson for 2025 WSSA Early Career Weed Scientist!
