Oh hey, that's me 😃 I am so grateful to have received the CALS Innovation in Agriculture Young Scholar Award for my research and had a wonderful chat with Madelyn for the article. Definitely worth a read! (I am a bit biased 😇) Thanks, ISU College of Agriculture and Life Sciences !

Beyond thrilled to share that I placed 2nd in ISU GPSS 11th Annual Conference for my poster presentation on my research (essential oils as bio-fungicides) & now am the proud owner of an oversized check 🥰 #plantdisease #AgTwitter #sciencetwitter

Dear #ArtHistoryTwitter/#MuseumTwitter, my friend bought this painting (impulse purchase at a candle shop, can't take her anywhere); any insights on artist or title? Respectfully, a #ScienceTwitter gal 💚

Hey, that's me (again!) New puppy (Lilith) shown for scale comparison of the oversized check 🥳

Had a fantastic time working with the enthusiastic team from ISU Extension and Outreach & @mgardener_ia to help with the plant pathology section of the Master Gardener course at ISU this Saturday, followed by the Wild Harvest Mushroom Certification Course! #IAPlantDrs #AgTwitter

Quality scientific humor brought to you today by The American Phytopathological Society

I'm thrilled to share the exciting news that I was awarded a travel award from the APS Foundation to attend The American Phytopathological Society #PlantHealth2023 🥳 I'm so grateful for this incredible opportunity, with many thanks to the family of Joseph Kuć!

Come on Scientist Barbie, let's go...give a poster presentation! T-minus 40 minutes before you can stop by P-040 to learn about fungal aromatherapy! The American Phytopathological Society #PlantHealth2023

Back to the Barbie DreamLab we go! All packed up and heading back to Iowa State University with our new post-doc in tow. Can't wait to do it again next year in Memphis! Thanks to The American Phytopathological Society for an invigorating and engaging meeting #PlantHealth2023

Peep the Leandro Lab's new post-doc! Easily the best purchase of the week, for a great cause! (Not to mention the cheapest post-doc you'll find!) #PlantHealth2023 #Barbie    APS Office of International Programs

The Universal Soldier I am who I am. For too long. women scientists were told to fit into a largely patriarchal system. Keep your head low and keep working your way up. That strategy has not worked and I am going to use my voice. Thank you.

Took advantage of the few days between APS & the start of classes to start cultures for the mycology course I'm TA'ing again this year! There's something satisfying about sitting in the hood and making transfers all day 🤓 So excited to meet the new class of students 🍄

An early morning foray to beat the heat was a success & an excellent way to start the day! Collected specimens for the mycology students so they have fresh examples to play with this first week of class #fungi ISU Plant Pathology Iowa State University

Really enjoyed plant health 2023! Got to meet new colleagues and -as usual- got amazed by the cool research happening all over APS! #planthealth2023

Interested in learning more about my research on essential oils as #biocontrol thru #nanotechnology? Check out this great interview with my wonderful PI, Dr. Leonor Leandro! #soybean #soybeanreserch ISU College of Agriculture and Life Sciences

Spotted these beauties on campus Iowa State University, and it's the first day of classes! A sign of a great semester to come 🍄 📚 #fungi #MushroomMonday #phdlife

I know SDS is a devastating yield-limiting disease... but I can't be the only one who finds the foliar discoloration pattern rather beautiful 🙈

I'm so honored to have been selected to attend the World Food Prize Foundation Norman Borlaug International Dialogue 2023 in (my beautiful hometown!), Des Moines, and I can't wait for the opportunity to present my research tomorrow! #FoodPrize23

Humbled to place 1st for graduate students last night at the annual Norman Borlaug Lecture Poster Competition, but ✨️thrilled✨️ to see Diana Mulder win 1st for undergraduates for her work in the Leandro lab on EOs & other soybean pathogens! 🎉🎉🎉 Iowa State University ISU Plant Pathology
