My favorite Mexican Restaurant in Athens , Iguanas Mexican Grill, is now selling beer. Just in time for Cinco de Mayo! You know where I'll be tomorrow 😁🌮🥑

Seedlings will never stop being adorable. It feels great to finally plant these lines and see my research moving forward ❤️

Hey Athens folks, have you been to Sweetie Pie by Savie yet? It's a super cute Asian infused bakery. I'm excited for this morning's red curry croissant 😋

I finally finished transplanting my backcrosses! I'm so excited to see where these plants take us next. I'm also looking forward to a summer full of research.

Travel gets much harder when you have ulcerative colitis but I should be set for the week! Now I can focus on all the fun science. Let's goooo 🤓

My first conference experience and it was an amazing science filled time.

Ah yes, hybrid vigor. It took months of crossing but I think I finally got a single F1 hybrid. Now time to backcross the heck out of it before it dies on me.

Treated myself to some Tlaloc this evening and I was so excited to see Nopales (cactus) on the menu. The Horchata and food had me feeling nostalgic ❤️

Self-care day! A few of us went apple picking in North Georgia. It was hot. It was sweaty. It was SO worth it 😁.

Spotted this morning in my yard. From anthers to petals... I think this tree is transcriptionally confused but I kind of love it.

A sick brain doesn't lend itself well to scientific thinking, but maybe it was exactly what I needed to finally bring out my brushes 🤧 I might need a wholesome Ghibli movie tonight.

THANK YOU to Institute for Bioengineering and Bioscience @ GT for hosting ARCS Foundation Atlanta Scholar Awards Celebration, Igniting Innovation in Georgia. You witnessed innovation at work on November 15, 2023: four universities, forty-nine #ARCSScholars, and who’s who of Georgia’s scientific philanthropy.

It's not too late to apply for our Summer Undergraduate Fellowship in Genetics at UGA - come work with us! tinyurl.com/sunfig

#TAGC24 was amazing! Thanks to everyone who stopped by my poster. I had a great time meeting new people and learning about their research.

Thank you to The Red & Black for publishing this story on an Athens Ordinance that limits affordable housing options for UGA students and residents. redandblack.com/athensnews/hou…

Just a little light reading to kick off the weekend 💅🏽

Thought I'd share this with my fellow Athenians. accgov.com/844/Comprehens…

I finally made it out to la Michuacana & Taqueria Juaritos. It was a little slice of home that I've been missing 🥹❤️ ...... I will be back for the menudo.

Baby toads + friends + cute dog = one great day in Sandy Creek

What a lovely day to pick your own peaches ❤️ Sweets Berry Farm in Rutledge GA is less than an hour away from Athens for anyone that's interested!
