Had a great evolution development discussion with @DolanLab at @CSHLplantcourse ! I learned so much about meristem development in Marchantia and explored the fascinating intersection between maize and Marchantia development. Exciting science can keep you up better than coffee! 🌽

Charmed Arabidopsis peoples with my Maize development talk. Thanks @PlantTeaching @PlantPhys @ASPB and @Morpholosophist for the opportunity to present my work at my first #PlantBio2024
Fantastic talk by @Thumaize who shared her work on uncovering the role of TPSs in inflorescence devolopemnt in maize 🌽 #PlantBio2024 @ASPB
Our development symposium at @ASPB #plantbiology2024 is starting at 3:45 pm! Come join us. If you're attending, do share your experience.
Wonderful @ThePlantCell and @PlantPhys join editorial boards dinner at #PlantBio2024. So many great conversations with the senior editors and AFE cohorts. Many thanks to @ASPB for this amazing opportunity.
Wonderful dinner in Honolulu 🌴🌺 with AFEs & editorial boards from @PlantPhys & @ThePlantCell (@ASPB), budding editors & @PCP_EIC board (@JSPP_news) at #PlantBio2024! Global plant science in bloom 🌱🌎 #PlantScience #Hawaii
It's fantastic to finally meet my @PlantPhys Assistant Feature Editor cohorts in person! #PlantBio2024
We just wrapped up a wonderful @PlantPhys Assistant Features Editor training event at #PlantBio2024! I'm so lucky to work with these amazing scientists. Thanks @ASPB for continuing to support this excellent program!
The Editorial Board of @PlantPhys is together ahead of #PlantBio2024 to discuss image manipulation, global #plantscience research, preparing for an OA future, and to hear from Editor-in-Chief @YundeZhao
Finished the Cayuga Trail Ultramarathon 50km/33 miles, 6000 ft. Beautiful course, magnificent waterfalls and brutal inclines. The best way to warm up for the field season. Many thanks to @Margare41291282 for pro tips!!!
