I'm proud to reintroduce myself as Dr. Aimee Schulz, PhD! Thank you to my labmates, collaborators, friends, and family who all were here to cheer me on today both in person and online. I'd also like to thank my advisor Dr. Ed Buckler for all of his mentoring and support.

I officially graduated from @Cornell! I became the first doctor in my family and the first person on my mom's side to get more than an 8th-grade education. I now join the 0.27% of Indigenous and 4% of Asian (no Thai-specific stats) doctorate recipients in the plant sciences! 🌽🌾

Clouds didn’t stop our fun watching the eclipse. What an incredible experience being in the path of totality!

This thread is for students who didn't win the GRFP today. Who are wondering if they actually belong in science, or scrolling through a bunch of tweets that start "So excited to announce..." with a little spurt of bitterness they aren’t proud of. 1/9
Determining my defense date has been a bit like naming a final version of a file. In other news, “PhD_Defense_final_finalForReal_actualFinal.seminar” has been set!
#MGM2024 make sure to stop by poster 181 and take part in our outreach game on plant domestication and adaptation! It’s an interactive poster, so get creative and make some seeds!
We’ll test out everyone’s designs TONIGHT at 10pm by our poster - there will be a leaf blower!
Honored to have received 2nd place in the Larry Darrah Student Presentation Contest at this year’s Corn Breeding Research meeting for my work on intraspecific competition dynamics in US inbred and hybrid maize. Thanks @JoeGage10 and Jim Holland for organizing!

I'm now officially Dr. Merritt Khaipho-Burch!
I gave my seminar to the Plant Breeding and Genetics Section @Cornell and passed my B-exam on Tuesday! My next stop is @corteva, where I'll be a Research Scientist! Thanks to my committee @EdBuckler @CedricFeschotte &Wojtek Pawlowski

Great to return to San Diego for #PAG31 to present my work on constraint and divergence in the noncoding genomes of maize and its relatives in the 'Comparative Genomics' workshop today at 10.30am. Looking forward to lots of conversations on genomics and beyond.
