What a start to 2024! Excited to share that the final article from my MSc has been published in @Plants_MDPI. We explore the use of phenylpropanoid inhibitors to improve the isolation and early cell division of #Cannabis #protoplasts!

Come see my poster #104. I'll be there every coffee break for the remaining days of the conference!
Learn about #Cannabis sexual plasticity! ♂️♀️⚧️
📜Posters are a huge opportunity to present your work and in this #IBC2024 the participation has been amazing.

At the opening ceremony of the @ibc2024! Anyone of my Twitter connections attending?
I'll be presenting my latest research on #Cannabis sexual plasticity at poster 104, come find me this week and learn about plant sex change!

Wrapping up the fabulous 2024 #2SLGBTQ+ #STEM Conference at @UofRegina. An amazing bonus of this conference was being able to share my research alongside my high school friend Dan! Thank you to all the organisers for creating such a engaging space for queer scientists!

Is #cannabis one species or two...or maybe three or four? Cannabis #taxonomy sparks heated debate. @AdrianMonthony et al. review genomics-based evidence to settle the controversy ▶️ ow.ly/M1bg50RjlHg #Indica #Sativa @GenomeJournal @CSMB_SCBM

🌿 Thrilled to announce my first PhD publication! 🎉 Challenging traditional views of chromosomal sex in #Cannabis, we introduce the concept of 'sexual plasticity'. Our study indicates a significant role for ethylene🧬

This was also the first time I've participated in an open review process, which if you're curious about, you can see the reviews and our responses below. I'm curious to see what other #Academics think about the pros/cons of open reviews?

!! Thank you @SupportOurSci for your advocacy!!
Thank you very much to @cafreeland for meeting with members of Support Our Science today to discuss increased funding for #GradStudents and #Postdocs! 🧡
Together we can create an sustainable research ecosystem that benefits all Canadians! 🇨🇦

A short and informative piece by @sciencepolicy discussing the @JustinTrudeau government and @ISED_CA failure of @NSERC_CRSNG graduate funding to keep pace with inflation. The next generation of Canadian scientists are starting below the poverty line.

Great Friday news! The @DTorkamaneh lab's newly minted MSc, Éliana Lapierre's first article has been selected as editor's choice in the journal Genome by @cdnsciencepub! In it we aggregate the most up-to-date information on the ongoing #Cannabis #Taxonomy debate. Check it out!

Thank you for this thoughtful piece on GM crops @drdevangm. When I lived in Europe and discussed what I wanted to study, I would get people turning up their noses and telling me I wanted to "Play God". These are opinions for the privileged, not for the hungry masses.
Tomorrow @EUCouncil will discuss the new #NGT proposal to regulate #CRISPR crops. As I wrote last week in @Nature, "I urge both ministers and legislators to embrace science-guided definitions for NGTs, and resist calls to further limit this technology."

It's been an exciting week in the Torkamaneh lab! Check out our latest review where we explore how modern genomics can help us resolve the 'one or more than one species' debate in #cannabis
Congrats to our MSc student Éliana LaPierre for her first publication 👏🤩
Hot out of the press @cdnsciencepub: Genomics-bases taxonomy to clarify #cannabis classification.

Our latest pre-print has dropped. We explore the link between ethylene and the often lamented (and scientifically interesting) changes in floral sex observed in cannabis. Sexual plasticity is the word of the day!

Shoutout to my copy of the 2012 @Adobe @Photoshop Elements 11, which stitched this male #hemp inflorescence from 6 segments I took under a macroscope for an upcoming paper! A decade later and still coming in handy! #Science #phdlife
