COVID is sweeping our campus and there's at least three variants I've heard are affecting students. I caught the one that causes stomach issues and gives you flu like symptoms without fever. Wild y'all! Get vaccinated.

I have had a great first few days at #ESA2025 here in Baltimore, MD. So far I've had the incredible opportunity to catch up with a local friend, see lots of amazing science talks, present my Fusarium endophyte work from 2022, and co-moderated a translating science to policy session.

We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it is—this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.

I think some people hear “grants” and think that without them, scientists and government workers just have less stuff to play with at work. But grants fund salaries for students, academics, researchers, and people who work in all areas of public service.
