Introducing a new dynamic duo at @UFGulfCoastREC, Drs. @jchitw and Anuj Sharma.
The new @UFPlantbreeding scientists 🧑🔬 are excited to kickstart the next chapter 📖 of @UF tomato breeding 🍅 in South Florida.
What will define this next chapter 🔖? Product profiles for commercial varieties, using molecular tools to improve selections, and balancing grower & consumer desired traits.

Oh how the tables have turned! This is three generations of #tomatobreeders @UF . I'm proud of the legacy I'm following and excited to bring the next chapter of #tomato breeding to the @UFGulfCoastREC! (It does feel a bit weird to be on this side of the desk tbh 😂)

60 years ago today on the 27th October 1962, human life on Earth came the closest it has ever come to a terrible ending. Everyone alive today owes their life to this handsome devil, and most of us don't even know his name. Let's change that - a thread 🧵
I am so proud of my team!! Grading #potatoes is hard work, and they're getting it done and taking great data here at the SLV ResearchCenter. Great team and great teamwork! #womeninag #womeninplantbreeding #ilovemyjob #teamworkmakesthedreamwork @CSU_HLA @CSUAgSci
