Cool

Such cool talks by our student researchers on Day1 of the biosymposium. St. Kate's Biology St. Kate's Admission St. Catherine University

As you submit final grades do remind students if you can that they more than a grade. The C might reflect their current learning of your subject but not who they are as a person. If you can add a personal story of failing or struggling in a class that you teach now, bonus points

Please RT. Trying to find a resource/collection/textbook where current trends in plant mineral nutrition are discussed, various recipes compared and nutrient deficiencies discussed with effect on various plant physiological aspects at the molecular level if possible.

Summer research students Ya Yei Xiong and Naturelle Vang are setting up hydroponic experiments with Brassica plants to see the effect of altered nutrient conditions on nectar quality and quantities. Exciting times!

A commentary on our recent discovery of the chemical secrets of a bird pollinated black nectar producing flowering plant from South Africa. Read on about how this nectar is similar to an ink that has been used for centuries to write with nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/np…

My first ever NSF PI meeting was amazing!!! So many cool conversations over the days on the future of research coordination networks in enhancing biology education and research.

Dear Conference organizers or people who can get the message out to them, this is such a cool idea. www-kunc-org.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/www.kunc.o…

Last week we handed off pollen and nectar samples to Rahul Roy St. Catherine University! Collected over the summer as part of our MN ENRTF funded research on ground-nesting bees, we'll use these samples to understand fire's impacts on pollen and nectar characteristics.

Growth of a seedling🌱 The first two "true leaves" of a seedling grow from the meristem, a region of small undifferentiated cells between the two embryonic leaves, or cotyledons. These are usually covered in spiky trichomes as they are vulnerable to herbivory by insects.

Been a while. Getting excited about #PlantBio2024 and networking with some old friends and getting to finally meet the ASPB PUI Section section. Come find me at the poster session to learn more about the NSF funded CONNECT network ubeconnected.org and also some root research.
