Proud to share the preprint for some of my postdoctoral work in developing a high-throughput sequencing screen to find apomixis in plants. We sequenced 55 apple genotypes maintained by the USDA and over 1200 of their embryos. 🍎

Dear BlueSky void,
The economy is garbage and many people are suffering. One such person is my sister, who on top of trying to afford law school in the Tr*mp age now has a medical emergency with her pup. If you would like to help, here is her GoFundMe. Ruthie is a sweet pup.

Same here. Half our income. Bills going late or partially-paid. My spouse still having to work (and work OVERTIME) for no money.
And we were happy to muddle through, because the cause was worth it.
Absolutely disgusted with Senate Dems.

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard.
We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions.
We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

Censoring words, suppressing research, and silencing scientists doesn't change reality. Climate change will affect everything from intensifying weather patterns to disrupting our global supply chains.
Treating it as "That-Which-Must-Not-Be-Named" will only make us woefully unprepared.

It is the latest in a series of Trump administration efforts to dispute, silence or downplay climate change.
