Michigan ranks third in the nation in the number of Christmas trees harvested for the holiday season. Root rot is threatening the farms. MSU researchers are beginning a new study to determine where across the state root rot is killing the trees. #SpartansWill
Looking forward to meaningful work with the Christmas tree industry understanding/addressing root rot challenges. @MSU_PSM @CANRatMSU @MSUAgBio mlive.com/environment/20…
It was a pleasure hosting a visiting scientist (Dr. Jessica Fitzgerald) from New Zealand’s @plantandfood in my lab last month. Jessica is taking home new tools to help the kiwifruit industry combat Armillaria root rot in NZ. canr.msu.edu/news/resilient… @CANRatMSU @MSUAgBio

Me while driving my 3 & 4 yr old through campus. Me: Hey, look that's my greenhouse. 4yr old: How can that be green house? It doesn't even look green 😄 3yr old: It looks little purple Me: Tried to explain too hard... 4yr old: That doesn't even look green Me: 🧐 Hmmm
Think of this as a mini Christmas tree! Corynelia uberata on Podocarpus falcata. One of the firsts fungi ever recorded in South Africa. #treehealth #Christmas #forestpathology #fungi

Sounds like a very nice PhD position!
Thanks for sharing this :).
I wrote this email to my Lab about my feelings on the current situation with a reassurance that low (or no) productivity will not effect their employment, LOR, or my view of them as scientists. Feel free to share!
I'm a microbiologist who has researched microbes for 15+ yrs I'm known for my sci comm skills-I've spoken at DefCon, a keynote at Oxford, many TED/TEDx talks, including one where the pope & Elon Musk spoke I can't convince my SO to stop buying face masks Success is relative.
I am currently hiring for two postdoctoral scientist positions investigating plant innate immunity. One using the model plant Arabidopsis, the other on bacterial vector-borne disease. Please RT.
Who's to say what it means for a Ph.D. student or postdoc to be "productive"? When Yitang Zhang graduated he had no published papers and no support from his advisor, so he was unable to publish for 22 years. Then he published something pretty good. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yitang_Zh…
