Getting older isn't so bad when it comes with homemade angel food cake and a side of mango curd. Thanks to my awesome Pairwise teammate Annabelle for this beautiful spread 😍

Better understanding of TAL #effector repertoires may inform strategies for improving resistance against bacterial blight in #cotton, caused by #Xanthomonas. Thanks to all collaborators!

Making the most out of a rainy weekend

A new position at Exeter University working on bioinformatics and genomics of bacteria. An opportunity to work in our #XanthomonasThreats project and other projects. Bacterial Plant Diseases Programme 2020-24

Curious about #CRISPR and the first applications in healthy food? Join me as I moderate a discussion with Conscious Foods and Pairwise and a great line up of experts from the produce industry. register here! pairwise.zoom.us/webinar/regist…

I can't take a picture of all the productive discussions on use-inspired research that happened this week in Boise, Idaho so here are some of the delicious potatoes instead (featuring the one and only ice cream potato!!)

This trip has been full of interesting foods, but pinecone jam might be the most unexpected.

With IS-MPMI just around the corner, I am excited to be part of this session as a planner and presenter! We have a fantastic lineup which highlights diverse vascular pathogens and individuals at different career stages. Put session 13 on your calendar!🪴 events.rdmobile.com/Sessions/Detai…

Finally made it to #2023ISMPMI after cancelled flights. Stop by poster P-121 to talk about Xanthomonas interspecies cell-to-cell signaling communication.

Come to my poster (P-53) if you wanna get some insights how #proteostasis and retrograde signalling (nucleus-chloroplast communication) is mediated by bacteria-induced proteotoxic stress #2023ISMPMI #ubiquitination #theustunlab

Still in Providence? You need Knead Doughnuts! #2023ISMPMI. Thinking of you ⁦Zoe Dubrow⁩!

270km, 4 days, and lots of incredible views later, these two plant pathologists have made it to Lyon! Excited for ICPP2023!!

Great talk this morning ICPP2023 by Alice Boulanger Plants Microbes Environment on using RB-TnSeq to identify at high-throughout #Xanthomonas genes important for growth in the plant 🌱🦠 Really cool to see data for the different tissues colonized throughout the infection cycle 👏

Congrats to Brice from Lab-SIX for winning a #ICPP2023 poster prize for his excellent work on TAL effectors involved in black rot of crucifers!! 🥬🏆

Inspiring talks so far in the particle based delivery session at #icpp2023 by @daSilvaLab1 and neena mitter! Standing room only!

#theustunlab having a fantastic dinner in Lyon with Marco Incarbone Marion Clavel labs and Zoe Dubrow #ICPP2023

We are excited to announce a new five-year collaboration with Bayer | Crop Science that builds upon our successful gene editing partnership. Learn more about how this collaboration will further advance short-stature corn here: hubs.li/Q020x7_50
