No one deserves this more than @xocolatl_vrr! She is the most incredible mentor 👏🦠🧬

Amazing lab retreat in the mountains to recharge, generate new ideas, and share great laughs.#PlantPathology Nate Heiden Taylor Klass Marcus V Merfa Hannah Toth

Congratulations Eric 3-Minute Thesis 1st place at The Ohio State University! He goes on to Regionals Eric Hobson jj 🏆

Glad to announce that our preprint work about the type IV pilus of Xylella fastidiosa is now available as a peer-reviewed manuscript at PLoS Pathogens! journals.plos.org/plospathogens/… Leonardo De La Fuente Neha Potnis Paul Cobine

Our participants.

Had a wonderful experience visiting and presenting a seminar Cornell AgriTech as a part of the student exchange program! Huge shout out to Maddie Flasco and Libby Indermaur for planning and organizing an awesome visit 🎉

Check out our new preprint where we examined how co-occurring weak pathogens can influence the dominant pathogen population dynamics and overall disease outcome in co-infection! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

I wanted to say thank you to everyone who came out to my pre-meeting APS workshop! I had such a fun time meeting all of you and getting to share all things metagenomics.

Awesome presentation by the jj lab rising star Hannah Toth on metagenomics sequencing for disease diagnostics! #PlantHealth2023

There was a huge turnout of participants for the APS Graduate Student Committee Plant Diagnostic Bowl competition. #PlantHealth2023

An appreciation tweet to all who volunteered at the Plant Diagnostic Bowl competition.
