I am excited to share that Julia will start grad school @science.ubc.ca @ubcbotany.bsky.social with us from Fall 2025!

Julia graduated from the University of Massachusetts Amherst and worked on root development with Tobias Baskin.

She is my grad advisor's postdoc advisor's student!

(10/10) Jessica @jessicaa-orr.bsky.social took a big leap on chasing nucleus in the lab and working on some foundational works.

Catch Jessica live tomorrow at the Plant Cell Dynamics to hear more about nucleus in the polarized root hair cell!

(1/10) I am excited to share this signature review from our lab published @jxbotany.bsky.social

Congratulations to @ohazel.bsky.social and @jessicaa-orr.bsky.social (first published paper for Jessica!)

There are many ways to end the week. But, I am ending the week with this image captured by @jessicaa-orr.bsky.social Jessica today!

She is putting some fire 🔥🔥🔥everywhere 🔬🔬🔬

I am very excited and grateful to begin my research journey with the @aribidopsis.bsky.social Ashraf Lab this summer! This is one of the first photos taken by me with confocal.

Look at this gorgeous root hair image! 🍀🔬😊
