Cool work by Frances MSU

Woo hoo! We are so excited that Kadeem Gilbert is joining us MSU Plant Biology!

Can plant viroids infect and replicate in fungi? What do you think? Thought provoking end to this semester's #plant #virus #ecology discussions! 1) Wei et al. 2019: pnas.org/content/116/26… 2) Serra et al. 2020: pnas.org/content/117/19… 3) Wei et al. 2020: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…

Happy to return to field work after a pandemic winter. Need more real biology, less zoom.

Thanks very much, @ally_brown10, for your invaluable contributions to the lab. Looking forward to hearing about your research discoveries UGA's Warnell School . 🐸🐸

Glad to see that @ally_brown10 is already making friends in her new ecosystem.

Fun RNASeq campaign in the switchgrass diversity panel this week! Here the processing team handles incoming samples. 1/3 DOE Office of Science @MSU_NatSci

RNASeq field campaign: Runners collect leaf samples and rush them to the processors. 2/3 DOE Office of Science @MSU_NatSci

RNASeq with field samples: it's all about attention to detail. It's important to have good bench hands, double-check labels, & keep samples frozen. 3/3 #Science

Super excited to welcome Katrina Culbertson, Katrina Culbertson, as a new PhD student in the lab. Katrina has a strong background in HIV prevention research, and is now helping us assess virus impact in plants.
