Thanks @GLBW_UMN for sponsoring my attendance to #marbleseed2023. I enjoyed the 'organic' connection, networking and learning experience. Crop diversification builds resilience and is worth the effort.

Earlier this week, I had a great time attending the Corteva Agriscience 7th Annual MU Plant Research Symposium at Mizzou and presenting my research. #wheat #plantbreeding #symposium

Tomorrow is the deadline for submitting abstracts to WAAVP INDIA 2023. The EQUIP scholarships provides an excellent opportunity for networking, learning & forging new collaborations. You are a motivated #womeninparasitology. Submit, apply & prepare for an impactful and memorable event.

Register today!!

Enjoyed the Women in Crop Science Coffee today #WiCS #GlobalWiCScoffee Raysa Gevartosky . The department (and the world) has come a long way since 1988. Still a lot more to do!

Great start in our #oat breeding program. New crossing protocol! Thanks Noah DeWitt for sharing it and Tadele for leading it. Field trials planted before April in the shortest Spring ‘window’ ever thanks Lucas Berger Munaro @aanupdkl Raysa Gevartosky Milcah Kigoni #Sheila Jessica Rutkoski

Off to a great #oat field season! Our yield trials planted the last week of March showed good emergence. Pic of our fully randomized stage 2,3,4 single trial #PlantBreeding #Illinois #SmallGrains

My feedback has tons of #intercropping tweets! So glad to see these initiatives that I have to share ours lead by Milcah Kigoni. We harvested mixtures between 24 #oat and 4 #peas, 378 awesome plots. Great teamwork by the UIUC Small Grains. Yield and forage quality coming soon!

Let's get ready to rumble this week... 🤩 WRC Safari Rally Kenya 22.06 - 25.06 🇰🇪

Simply stunning... 🤩 🇰🇪 Safari Rally Kenya Dani Sordo Hyundai Motorsport #WRC #WRCLive #SafariRallyKenya

3 months prior 120k soybeans between 600k wheat seeds. Dual and 2/4d kept us pretty clean till now

99.9% of the corn belt grows one crop at a time. Because we've always done it that way. This shouldn't be that weird.

So excited to see our contribution to rapid generation advancement in #oat. We combined #SpeedBreeding with high-density planting in low-nutrient media and accelerated flowering ~ 20-25 days earlier than control (doi.org/10.1186/s13007…) #PlantBreeding

🌾 Exciting News! 🚀 Our latest publication is out. We combined 'speed breeding' 💡with high-density planting and low-fertility media in SSD to reduce Spring Oat flowering time by 20-25 days! 🌱💨 #PlantBreeding #Oat #SpeedBreeding 👉 [link.springer.com/article/10.118…]

Racing the locals at the Safari Rally Kenya PET! 🤘🤩

Such an incredible weekend! Gratitude for all, Kenya 🇰🇪
