DO NOT LOOK AT IT DIRECTLY WITHOUT THE EYE PROPER PROTECTION, DOING SO COULD CAUSE SERIOUS PAIN AND POSSIBLE DAMAGE TO THE RETINAS

Grateful for the enriching experience of connecting with fellow visiting scholars and presenting my research at the 8th Annual International Scholar Showcase at #MSU ! 🌍 #FulbrightColombia

Ph.D. student Maria Clara Faria Chaves is studying the genetic mechanisms behind rice growth & stress response. Working with plant biotech professor Vibha Srivastava, she aims to understand how crops respond to environmental pressures. #AgFoodLife #AgFoodInnovators UA System Div of Ag

Collab drop w/ Meryl Mims Grace @ribbygipa @Joeldbiojoe & DF on a new project we are working on - do invasive plants change the way a place sounds… 🌿 🎼
Thanks VT ICAT for the support!

We propose 4 mechanisms by which invasive plants may be altering soundscapes. We have a few research projects ongoing to sort these out in a few different systems.

Killer figure by DF!

Jesus Christ is risen! He alone has the power to roll away the stones that block the path to life. He, the living One, is himself that path. He is the Way: the way that leads to life, the way of peace, reconciliation and fraternity.

Traveling alone with jungle boy.. Praying I don’t get the same lucky that Breanne Tidemann had with her planes 🫠

Just an update: now working as a postdoc at UMass. Thank you, Mary and ASCB!

Where are all my SOUTHEASTERN USA growers at?!?!?!?

Are you thinking about the movement of weed seeds, human and plant pathogens, and nematodes on FIELD EQUIPMENT?

Can you please take this QUICK and ANONYMOUS sanitation survey for me? PLEASE SHARE!
