Dr. Arpita Yadav is a plant molecular and cell biologist investigating the fundamental mechanisms of plant growth and development. @arpitayadav.bsky.social
Dr. Arpita Yadav is a plant molecular and cell biologist investigating the fundamental mechanisms of plant growth and development. As an Assistant Research Professor at Pennsylvania State University in the Cosgrove Lab, she currently studies plant cell wall mechanics and growth. Her previous postdoctoral work at the University of Massachusetts Amherst elucidated the relationship between cellulose microfibrils and anisotropic growth. Dr. Yadav earned her PhD in India, where she discovered key roles for BBX proteins in mediating photomorphogenesis and UV-B stress tolerance in Arabidopsis thaliana.

Dr. Erika Moore-Pollard is currently a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Connecticut whose research focuses on photosynthetic metabolism and functional trait tradeoffs in Bromeliaceae. @erikarmoore11.bsky.social
I am Erika Moore-Pollard, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Connecticut. My current research focuses on photosynthetic metabolism and functional trait tradeoffs in Bromeliaceae. I earned my PhD at the University of Memphis, where I investigated the phylogenomics, genomics, and systematics of Asteraceae, with a particular focus on the complex genus Packera. My overall research goal is to uncover the molecular drivers of plant diversification, with an emphasis on how polyploidy, hybridization, and convergent evolution shape trait innovation and ecological success across angiosperms.

Dr. Kirk Amundson is currently a postdoctoral scholar & USDA NIFA Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Massachusetts Amherst whose research aims to better understand cis-regualtory evolution in plants. @kirkamundson.bsky.social
Dr. Kirk Amundson is currently a postdoctoral scholar and USDA NIFA Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. His research aims to better understand cis-regualtory evolution in plants, with a focus on dissecting the molecular basis of evolutionary innovations in the grasses. He earned a PhD from the University of California Davis where he investigated how mutations accumulate throughout a plant over its lifetime, as well as the cytological basis of a genetic trick known as haploid induction.

Dr. Rajnandani Kashyap is a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Biochemistry & Molecular Biology at Saint Louis University who specializes in anaerobic structural biology to investigate the mechanisms of long-range electron transfer enzymes. @rajnandani.bsky.social
Dr. Rajnandani Kashyap is a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Biochemistry & Molecular Biology at Saint Louis University, USA. She specializes in anaerobic structural biology, with expertise in cryo-EM, X-ray crystallography, and spectroscopy to investigate the mechanisms of long-range electron transfer enzymes. Her research focuses on Fe-S cluster carrying enzymes including nitrogenase, nitrogenase-like enzyme and mammalian enzymes, with broader implications for photosynthesis and genome stability. She has received multiple awards, including invited talks, travel and poster awards at national and international conferences, and has published in high-impact journals such as Nature Communications.
