I received the Gerald O Mott Graduate Student Award from Agronomy, Crop, and Soil Science Societies. This award recognizes students based on academic achievements, research, teaching, leadership and service activities. Grateful to Shawn Askew, Ph.D. for excellent mentoring and endless opportunities to grow.

Trying to harness the power of Alphafold 3 to predict 3D structures of complex cytochrome P450 enzymes! TBH! The results are quite impressive!

Finally harvested! 🌾 Our winter wheat trials have been wrapped up. Long struggle with the combine made me realize things don’t always go as planned!
