Our new paper is officially out: "Dynamic geospatial modeling of mycotoxin contamination of corn in Illinois: unveiling critical factors and predictive insights with machine learning" I am so proud of my team! frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

Proud to announce our Arabidopsis ORFeome paper has been published in The Plant Cell! We systematically uncovered > 7K novel translation events and found many important genes are regulated by uORFs. Larry Wu @JustinWWalley academic.oup.com/plcell/advance…

The origin of maize is more complicated than we previously realized. A story years in the making from the Ross-Ibarra lab, just published in Science. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Excited to try our brand new Envirologix system for multiple Mycotoxins tests #usda #science #corn #fungi

A new robot has arrived at my lab this is the perfect birthday and early Dia de Reyes gift #qiagen #science #usda

Corn is growing at our BSL2 greenhouses in New Orleans. The fast growing corn lines have already been pollinated #corn #Science #usda

Elated to be at Cotton Inc today and tomorrow for the#NPMTI conference where we are going to talk about modeling of plant diseases in the US #mycotoxins #corn #MachineLearning

Amazing talk by Dr. Kyle Cranmer on combining human and artificial intelligence for predictive modelling #NPMTI #corn #mycotoxins #MachineLearning

Finally our MAPIR camera set up is ready to go. Our lab is doing cool projects in the area of precision agriculture to predict and prevent mycotoxin outbreaks #usda #corn #science #mapir Agricultural Research Service

What an honor to be at the opening ceremony of the Tetrapartite meeting at the Agricultural Research Service Southern Regional Research Center in New Orleans with representatives of national agriculture research from Canada, France and the UK.

My lab is hiring a post-doctoral researcher to study mycotoxin contamination in corn. If you would like to dive into corn and mycotoxins while living in vibrant New Orleans please checkout the link to the job: zintellect.com/Opportunity/De…

Post-doc position re-advertising with some modifications on requirements and affirmations: If you are you interested in corn-fungal interactions? joining the USDA-ARS? Come and join my lab in New Orleans Please share 🙏 zintellect.com/Opportunity/De…

Are you interested in plant-fungal interactions? Would you like to start a career with the USDA-ARS? Come and join our Food and Feed Safety Research Unit as a permanent scientist in vibrant New Orleans! Please RTW 🙏 usajobs.gov/job/803567200

I am so excited to see the work we did with Iowa State University focusing on mycotoxins modeling come out today. This was a great collaboration with Emily Branstad-Spates, PhD who has joined us at #USDA as a bright post-doctoral researcher. doi.org/10.1002/cche.1…

We had a great Hispanic Heritage Month Celebration at the USDA-ARS Southern Regional Research Center. Dr. Balée gave an exciting talk about the Amazon and the civilizations that lived there thousands of years ago. Also, the food was amazing!

This is the best way to start my weekend! I'm so proud of our team and excited that our flavonoids research was accepted for publication in the Journal of Fungi

I am excited that our work on Flavonoid effects on fungal cell wall and biofilm formation is finally out. I am proud of the work our team did. YAY #corn #USDA #Science mdpi.com/2309-608X/10/9…

I'm so proud of Dr. Angela Avila! Having her as a member of my research team is wonderful, her mathematical and modeling skills were key in making our latest aflatoxin predictive models in Texas a reality. #corn #mycotoxins #Texas #usda Agricultural Research Service uta.edu/academics/scho…

I'm so excited about this podcast about mycotoxins, it was done almost 9 months ago and it finally dropped this week linkedin.com/posts/dairy-po…
