Really excited to share the pre-print of my first paper! It details the computational method we used to identify uncharacterized metabolites along the developmental gradient of maize roots, I hope you find it interesting! 🌱🌽
Computational method for mapping mass signatures along developmental gradients reveals a novel role for a monosaccharide tetrose in maize salt-stress response. https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.09.22.677919v1

Plant health is essential to food security, yet pathogens continue to threaten crops worldwide. To better understand how disease takes hold—& how to stop them—HHMI Hanna Gray Fellow @shanice-webster.bsky.social is exploring the dynamic relationships among plants, microbes, & disease-causing agents.

@hhmi.org meetings always recharge me, and this weeks science meeting helped so much navigating this uncertain time in science. I feel so lucky to draw support and community from the other Gilliam fellows and HHMI network. 🌱

had a great time at the maize genetics meeting last week! 🌽 I gave a lightning talk & presented a poster to one of my favorite science communities✨ also reconnected w old friends & lab alums 💛 was encouraging to be with people who care about scientific work & inclusive practices #standupforscience
