Diel Donne Velasco points out the risk to barley caused by Xanthomonas translucens within US.

Field surveys show that a single field can have Xtt strains with different virulence patterns.

Inoculated with tagged strains to assess (co-)colonization behavior across clades.

Not a PI on this, but a participant working on STEM transfer students and processes in south Jersey. The work doesn't stop, but the mood is low.
The Howard Hughes Medical Institute, the nation’s largest private funder of biomedical research, yesterday killed a $60 million program aimed at making universities’ STEM education more inclusive. scim.ag/3EtS0US
HHMI kills program aimed at boosting inclusivity in STEM education

Major gut punch for those institutions and individuals working on this. Hopefully more explanation coming.
Extremely disappointed to see HHMI decide to kill their Inclusive Excellence program, including terminating the current IE3 awards to over a hundred institutions effective this year in the middle of a 6-year grant. I was hoping HHMI (and other private funders) would continue to lead the way.
