New research finds that about 1 in 20 flowering plants are naturally transgenic, a discovery that challenges the #EU ruling on #GMOs. allianceforscience.cornell.edu/blog/2019/10/m…

Pumpkin harvesting: An #OddlySatisfhing tradition just got a makeover thanks to #agtech.

Thank you organizers for an awesome #cshlcrispr19 meeting. Lively & friendly community. Very inspired and already have so many ideas to test in plants!

Three lumpy rats. Panel A - Fed "GMO" corn. Panel B- Fed "roundup" herbicide. Panel C- Fed both. Scary, huh? But what about the rat that ate normal food? Table 2 of the same paper shows it got tumors too. Why not show it? Because then it is not scary. You've been fooled.

Prime Editing. Templated editing without double strand breaks. No donor DNA. Beyond cool and certainly a highlight at #cshlcrispr19

Coming into lab on a Friday night means you scare people and people scare you. #boo #HappyHalloween

#WorkLifeBalance today for me means spending the day wholeheartedly with my toddler and reviewing manuscripts with a glass of wine 🍷after he goes to bed.

1. Awards are awesome. 2. Peer-nominated awards are even better. 3. A peer-nominated Larry Gilbertson Award means so much more. 4. The 3D-printed DNA 🧬 trophy just nails it. #ThankYou #ilovemyjob Bayer | Crop Science #yearendcelebration

Got to sort lots of winter coats STL Crisis Nursery with these fabulous ladies Bayer | Crop Science on #MLKDay. Thank you STL Crisis Nursery for the work you do and making such an impact on the community. Stay warm STL!

New white board space in office with note from Larry Gilbertson made my day 🧬😎 #lotsofcolors #ilovemyjob #ChallengeAccepted

All scientists live for that exciting moment when you see good quality data that lead to new discoveries. 🧬😎🎊 #ilovemyjob

Starting to enjoy #WorkingFromHomeLife as I don’t mind giving my toddler hugs and kisses between every single mtg ❤️

Congratulations to Gregg Howe - A fantastic PhD mentor who shaped me to be the scientist I am today. Also cheers to all of the #HoweLab folks who mapped out a large piece of the insect/wound response and JA pathway. Crazy to see the authors I cite all show up in one zoom!

Two things I really enjoy: 1. Coming up with cool new strategies or construct/experiment designs (preferably on a white board) that for sure are going to hit a goal and make an impact 2. Putting together presentations to summarize and communicate these ideas #ilovemyjob 🧬❤️😎

My face when I am halfway through a professional presentation at an annual conference and the condo association decides to mow the lawn right outside my window and my toddler tries to bust through the door. 😑🤦🏻‍♀️😅👍 #covidwfhchallenge

Enjoyed chatting with folks at #PlantBio20 about working in industry. Some highlights: 1. scientific qualifications get you an interview, and soft skills get you hired 2. #Networking is key to identify opportunities thanks organizers @jphiliptaylor Kelly Gillespie ASPB

BREAKING NEWS: The 2020 #NobelPrize in Chemistry has been awarded to Emmanuelle Charpentier and Jennifer A. Doudna “for the development of a method for genome editing.”

Always love student-organized events. Thank you Texas A&M Genome Editing Symposium for a fantastic program with a great line of speakers and the opportunity to talk about #GeneEditing product development and what it’s like to work at Bayer | Crop Science

We need more young scientists like Karina Morales, PhD who are engaging and approachable to bring conversations on plant biotechnology to families, friends, gardeners, and the dinner table 🍱 🌱 🪴
