This week our #WormFactWednesday is dedicated to one of the Pioneers of Nematode Management, Amegda Jack Overman (1920 - 2011).
"An outstanding agriculturist, she developed fumigation practices that allowed the reuse of old land for growing vegetables and ornamentals.
Check out my MPMI Research Spolight interview! This publication is a key chapter from my PhD and very meaningful to me. It was chosen as an Editor's Pick and received Honorable Mention for Best MPMI Student Paper 2023! @MPMIjournal @CornellAgriTech ismpmi.org/Community/Interac…

The very first project I started working on as an assistant professor at UC Riverside is now published!!! We found ladybird beetle trails can reduce the probing behavior of Asian citrus psyllid on citrus which implies a potential for reduced transmission of HLB. Great to have this published and that effort was led by @c_antolinez ! @Ento_EA onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

Yesterday was the 50th anniversary of women gaining the right to have mortgages, business loans, and credit cards in their own names.
I am 51.
Women gained the right to financial independence in my lifetime.
Thank you so much for all the instructors who reached out to inform me that they will share this with their class and incorporate suggestions to their course.

We are excited to share our work on the detoxification of solanidine, a steroidal alkaloid (StA) toxin☠️found in potato🥔, by a generalist insect🐛. 1/4 @CornellEnto
StA are present in nightshade plants of the genus Solanum (tomato, eggplant and potato).
