A white witch moth! This beauty is one foot wide tip to tip which makes it the widest insect in the world and I can’t believe I just found one. Along the Rio Negro, Brazilian Amazon.

Neat Molly Edwards, PhD video with several Boyce Thompson Inst summer undergrads (featuring Sol Genomics Network intern Arianna Kazemi)! Thanks to Kendall for giving props to our #bioinformatics course (w/ a cameo by yours truly) 🙂 youtube.com/watch?v=rCRqGv…

Most epic #ExpressionAtlas ever! Watch the expression cube slice its way to glory 😄 #moss #Physcomitrella #GeneExpression #RNA #transcriptome #PlantBiology

New "Preliminary Automated #Conservation Assessment" method used on 22k+ #vascularplants of #tropical #African #flora. 1/3 potentially threatened w/ #extinction. 4 areas w/ high proportions: Ethiopia, W Africa, central TZ & southern DRC. #SaveThePlants advances.sciencemag.org/content/5/11/e…

Back from SLiM camp Many thanks to Philipp Messer and Ben Haller & co for this program! messerlab.org/slim/ & esp Ben Haller for the workshop. I strongly recommend the training for anyone interested in ecologically & genomically relevant forward evolution simulation.

This is pretty amazing. Now I know a Garibaldi from a Bandholz... #ToMoarchOrNotToMoarch This is not the CDC #COVID2019 cdc.gov/niosh/npptl/pd…

New paper with Tobias Zuest is out in eLife - the journal, including #genome assembly of #Erysimum cheiranthoides Data download is available under 'Genome' > 'FTP Download' at: erysimum.org #plants #chemical #diversity #genomics #wallflower

Our preprint on the #Solanum lycopersicoides #genome #assembly is now available on bioarxiv. #wildrelative of #tomato #Solanaceae #plants biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

It's #EarthDay and we've got three awesome code-along videos for young digital makers who want to celebrate our planet today! raspberrypi.org/at-home/posts/… Share them with your kids, students, and Code Club ☯CoderDojo☯ TeamCodeClub members! 🌍🌱🌳🦋🌈

Love watching the Cornell University Lab of Ornithology Cornell Lab live cams -- my mom has been vigilantly watching #BigRed "fussing non-stop" from CA the last few days & called this morning to say that there is 1 (now almost 2) red-tailed hawk hatchlings! 😂allaboutbirds.org/cams/red-taile…

News item today abt #manioc #cassava program in #CotedIvoire #IvoryCoast for innovations in #sustainablemanagement of #soilfertility and optimal use of rainwater. Also, a big concern of producers is for ag mechanization, processing and commercialization youtu.be/ient6qj_DEo?t=…

Special congratulations to my friend and collaborator Dr. Agre Paterne, who did a lot of the work on this project! #WhiteGuineaYam #GeneticDiversity #Biodiversity #RTBfoods #Dioscorea

This makes me so incredibly happy Dr. Stacey D. Smith ! 🤣

New publication sequences genome of tomatillo-related plant, Iochroma cyaneum. Congrats on the recent findings Adrian Powell, Dr. Stacey D. Smith, and research affiliates at Boyce Thompson Inst, CU Boulder 🦬, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, & Cornell University. Check it out here: hubs.la/Q0114vgl0

A new reference genome and web-based tools for S. lycopersicoides will help tomato researchers and breeders improve the crop, such as by improving nutrition and resistance to disease.
