I had such an amazing week at #NAPPN2023 chatting research and meeting so many phenomenal scientists. Can't wait for next year!

In celebration of #WorldWildlifeDay, R. Shawn Abrahams, PhD (They/Them) and I are excited to finally share the first part of our research as #2019NationalGeographicExplorers along with Chris Pires and Ihsan Al-Shebaz. National Geographic Society #CITES50 #WWD2023 - a🧵1/19

The New York Botanical Garden orchid show was absolutely spectacular and I still can't believe I got this close to a corpse flower

My last poster presentation as an undergraduate was a success! I have had so much fun investigating lignin metabolism this year. Looking forward to many more presentations on future research after graduation MU Undergraduate Research MizzouBiology #ShowMeResearchWeek

It's been a great #ShowMeResearchWeek! We're recognizing students and mentors in several categories for their projects TODAY at the Awards Ceremony in Monsanto Auditorium, Bond Life Sciences Center at 3 p.m. Stay after for the closing reception. Can't wait to see you there!

Congratulations, Dani!

I was given the opportunity to talk to students at my home town highschool about research and college! It's so important to support aspiring scientist, espically in smaller rural communities.

I am excited to announce that after 2 years of undergrad research and many late nights studying, I will graduating with honors in biological sciences from Mizzou! After graduation, I will be starting an internship studying macroalgae with RunningTide Rishi R. Masalia, PhD !!

Super excited to have you joining the team!!

Forget-me-not fun fact: the yellow ring at the flower’s centre fades to white after pollination, signalling to insects there’s no more nectar. The insects therefore learn to visit the flowers that haven’t yet been pollinated, ensuring no forget-me-not flower is forgotten 🤙

Wanted to give a huge thank you to all the research mentors I have had throughout undergrad. I entered university as an uncertain aspiring scientist and left a confident and articulate researcher due to their patience and support. Excited to make you all proud!

Today is the first day of #PrideMonth I want to call out all LGBTQ+ scientists reply to this thread with - Name and Pronouns - Field - A picture of yourself - Hobbies outside of science - A random Fact about yourself Find new people, follow each other and tag fellow scientists!

I got to visit the kelp forests at the monterrey aquarium!! Can't wait to start my internship at RunningTide investigating these beautiful algae 🔬 Rishi R. Masalia, PhD

First time hiking in coastal California, and the best part was seeing all the endemic plants and exploring a different ecosystem! Some highlights of today include seeing my first wild population of Zantedeschia aethiopica and of course Eschscholzia californica

Hey #Plantbio2023 folks. Dani C. Gafford, bench science biology intern w/ Patrick Anderson, is trying to crowd source a question looking for diverse answers— “Is pursuing a PhD over a masters worth it in today’s job market? “ Thanks in advance from both of us!

Only 2 months left of my internship with RunningTide! I have been so lucky to be apart of such an amazing team of scientist and innovators studying how to utilize macroalgae to sequester carbon. Excited to continue developing as a seaweed scientist 🤓
