I got caught taking the candid. @whoagingerkid psuPPEM #PlantHealth2019

Hi that’s me!! That’s today! Holy smokes, it got here so much faster than anticipated!!

LOOK, LOOK!! This was such an interesting talk and quite honestly the experimental design behind this was quite awesome. Loved the innovative way to look at what causes wilting in tomatoes affected by Ralstonia.

Most ways to purify saltwater take up a lot of energy, but simply running seawater through a thin, heated slice of porous wood can render it fresh and drinkable newscienti.st/2YM7vRH

Incase anyone was curious about how fast I was talking? Because I z o o m e d.

Thanks to chauncy hinshaw we have these really amazing photos of Juniper-apple rust.

You can not just surround yourself with diversity that’s ‘palatable’ Real diversity challenges and pushes you out of comfort zones so you’re able to grow.

Seeing a solid wall of text makes me immediately sad.

Yeah. And sometimes I can’t even get that right

I can't remember if I posted this collage on Twitter back when I first finished making it. This is my gall collage which contains galls from 4 different Disholcaspis species.

I'm working on a new series of insect wing venation paintings. So far I've concentrated on Hymenoptera but I plan on doing a Diptera set next. They are a little wonky because drawing free hand with a bottle of goo is hard but I'm happy with the results.

This won’t be the last time a paper like this is published. Keep an eye out for the sample size, yield estimates against commercial lines, and if these estimates are corrected for field-design/grain-moisture/etc…. 13/

My angry plant breeding student plea to future authors of “Yield increase by [insert wild number] in X crop” studies: Please verify your yield estimates in multi-environment trials in elite backgrounds. Yield in lab-optimized, unimproved lines means very little 14/

Same. Same. Same.

Dear colleagues - if you’re seeing strokes more and more in adults in their 20s 30s 40s, you got to raise that alarm.

Let’s get out there and support Max Aleman 🏳️‍🌈 on Friday.
