Learning about creating illustrations for nematology reseach at #SON2024

I had the amazing opportunity to talk about the root-knot nematode and bacterial wilt disease complex during the cross-kingdom interactions session at #SON2024! We’ll continue investigating if Ralstonia is hitchhiking on nematodes… 🧐🪱🧫

🌿🪱🌱 Nema-poster team from the Siddique Lab (UC Davis) is also ready and excited to share our research with y'all tomorrow! 🫡 #SON2024 #Poster

IOC has strongly defended that Lin Yu-ting is a female. This is a very serious gender and political issue. She was born and grew up as a female, and IBA had never shown exact and real evidence that she failed the gender test but only verbal claims.

This is my labmate and best deskmate ☺️🥳

Congratulations to Howard Ferris, Professor Emeritus at UC-Davis on becoming SON Honorary Member! Highest SON honor recognizing meritorious and superlative contributions to science of nematology. The number of honorary members is no more than 2% of membership. #SON2024

SON meeting 2024, Park City Utah. Gave talk on rice prime editing for nematode resistance. Met stalwarts like Howard Ferris, Jonathan Eisenback, Byron Adams. Rafting at Weber river. All of these was possible with travel and registration support from Shahid Siddique

Hazel Appleyard Don't let misinformation get the better of us! This is an itemized list of all the international competitions that Lin Yu-Ting participated in. She was born female and has complied with all applicable regulations set by the different hosting organizations. There is an astounding

If you're seeking outstanding mentorship and support for your professional development, this lab is an opportunity you won't want to miss. The guidance here is exceptional—truly some of the best mentorship you could hope for! 😎

Erh-Min Lai Erh-Min Lai, my colleague & long-term collaborator, talked about #Agrobacterium biology and plant transformation in our IPMB Academia Sinica (中研院植微所) seminar. Look forward to making more progress together on this fascinating study system.

So proud of our #ucdavis nematologists! Here are some who participated in the Society of Nematology meeting in Park City, Utah. Well done! rb.gy/xmirni

Happy to share my first manuscript from my PhD! I’ve been fascinated by the functional diversity of FLS2 and how certain variants can recognize immune-evaded flg22 from important plant pathogens. In this work, we employed various approaches to engineer expanded flg22 perception.
