We are recruiting two postdoctoral fellows to work on (1) plant phenotyping (2) any aspect plant biology (basic or applied). Great opportunity. Please reach out if you have questions or if you would like to work with me in developing your application.

I’m absolutely beaming! Inclusion and diversity were among the top objectives for founding @NAPPN_org, and it’s great to see how this generation of leaders are delivering on that mission!

Critical thinking: How to dig deeper when your Spidey Sense tells you something’s not quite right
With false claims, debunking is less effective than prebunking. 25 studies: rebuttals and fact checks don't do much to change minds. We're better off training people to spot flaws in logic and data. The most important part of education is teaching critical thinking skills.

4.8% of american billionaires have a science or engineering PhD. <0.5% of americans have a science or engineering PhD. But don't get a PhD thinking it will 10x your chance of becoming a billionaire.

Know any lawyer jokes? Brad Hart, #BayerMarana Agronomy Lead, and I learned some gassers after hanging with the @BayerUS Law, Patents & Compliance team. I learned SO MUCH and had a blast!! We pulled off a tag-team talk + live virtual tour from the greenhouse too. Tech Level Up!

Fabulous advice: BE YOURSELF! As an interviewer, I’m not screening for technical skills or perfect answers. I have an hour to decide whether you’ll thrive in my crew’s brand of crazy brilliance.
‘Tis the season for those graduating to interview! Great advice: npr.org/2023/03/31/116752119…

A research group is a little like a startup BUT you can't hire any of your own accountants or HR, you can't rent more space when your team expands, and you never have runway to keep your team paid because your funds vanish if not spent.

Data visualization is a powerful thing. So are kangaroos, apparently. Thanks @stephsmithio

Great strides in food security thanks to science-based regulation. Japan now has waxy maize for smoother texture, GABA tomato to naturally lower high blood pressure, and two fish with higher yield and faster growth tinyurl.com/ycy9hw64
Great news! Japan approved the use of a 4th gene edited food crop. The new waxy maize variety provides more smoothness to food products. Gene editing of crops is now mainstream, except in Europe #EUSAGE bit.ly/3KUKd32
