Thanks The American Phytopathological Society for putting on a great convention. Could not have asked for a better first APS National. Can't wait for next time so we continue to share our collective knowledge, make and build better relationships #PlantHealth2019

Gotta love it when inoculum cooperates for an experiment. Looked like some substantial differences in disease susceptibility among dark tobacco varieties. More to come. #angularleafspot #pseudomonas #tobacco UT Entomology & Plant Pathology UT Extension UT AgResearch

Most people: gross Plant pathologist: oooh Phytophthora, let me bag that up

While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping, As of some hemp rust gently rapping, rapping at my humid chamber door #HappyHalloween

Tried my best to carve some Phytophthora sporangia and zoospores on this pumpkin. I think it turned out pretty well, but makes no sense to non pathologist haha.

Check out some of the P. capsici population genetics research I did while working with UTIA Specialty Crops Program during my time as a MS student in UT Entomology & Plant Pathology.
