Snarky question for my fellow mycologists & scientists: if a major newspaper doesn’t properly use Latin binomials, can you trust the rest of the content? It’s a red flag to me that the ‘science writer’ may never submitted a peer-reviewed science article. wsj.com/articles/deadl…

engdr.co/1-3785258 Believe it or not @RichterSupt talked me into running the Chicago Marathon & raising funds for Team Best Buddies while at the CAGCS Winter Conf. last January. How could I say no? Please consider donating to support the 7.5M Americans with IDD. 🙏😊

Aloha Turf Industry, I am reaching out to you heartbroken. The Lahaina wildfire devastation is indescribable, the toll it’s taken on our agronomy crews, the uncertainty of their futures etc. Half of our crews lost their life long homes and are displaced. Please repost 🙏🏽 and help

amp.miamiherald.com/news/nation-wo… I’m officially a grumpy old man for getting all bent out of shape that Julia Daye ‘s story on Alaskan crab is accompanied with a photo of east coast blue crab. 🤣🤣🤣 Details matter when you’re doing science reporting :)

Dr. Frank Wong (@turfpathology) 's Twitter Profile Photo

Apologies Julia Daye for being such a grumpy old man & thank you for being so gracious about it. We’re just a bunch of science nerds who get fixated on details. That being said - if you’re very doing an article on plants or agriculture the 👩‍🔬👨‍🔬 community here is happy to help :)

I had the pleasure to spend some time with Daniel Dorrough & Dallas Sledzik ahead of National Golf Day. It’s their first time participating as part of the GCSAA delegation representing Alabama and Pennsylvania. It’s such a great event to advocate for golf and I’m sure you’ll have a blast!!!
