I helped launch and run a startup commercializing technology that could identify the fields where more fertilizer wouldn't increase crop productivity and save farmers money. SBIR funding from NSF is how we made the leap from concept to product and acquisition.

Pretty cool to see @alizeemalnoe.bsky.social get profiled by the Indiana Daily Student! @iubiology.bsky.social @idsnews.bsky.social #plantsky #PlantScience

Thanks @standupforscience.bsky.social for organizing! @nytimes.com please report on this, the public deserves to understand how decreasing DEIA and funding in Science will impact them. Thanks @nature.com for live reporting! @goodtroublein.bsky.social @indivisible.org @iubiology.bsky.social

I'm incredibly proud of the work the broad plant science community has done through the ROOT&SHOOT initiative.
Given its nature, our future funding is uncertain.
Please give us a boost by sharing this announcement and joining us for the event, we'd love to have a big turnout. Thanks! 💚 #PlantSci

SOQ1 functions as a methionine sulfoxide reductase in the chloroplast lumen for regulation of photoprotective qH in Arabidopsis https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2024.11.01.621559v1

Happy to report that at least one squirrel in Bloomington is taking a break from the all-you-can-eat jack-o’-lantern buffet

An ode to the door stops which were kindly returned to the 3rd floor of Myers Hall:

Hello door stop, my old friend
I can walk through doors again
Lab equipment softly beeping
Arabidopsis seeds in tubes sleeping
And the fume hoods which vent out some methane
Still remain
Within the sound of science
