Great talk by Kaitlin Higgins. It sure is fun to see your students present at a conference!
#ASPBMW23
Kaitlin Higgins is presenting about Mdr1 demethylase and the intersection between the epigenome, genomic imprinting, and transposable elements in maize endosperm

Very cool, and great teamwork! It looks like you both are having a lot of fun!
My dog sport of choice is lure coursing, and my whippet had his first trial yesterday. I feel like we need a #ScientistsDoingDogSports hashtag!
I am loving the addition of the #MGM2023 Trivia Champion plaque to my maize shelf! I would like to thank my team for knowing sports, celebrity, and meme trivia and more broadly for being great people to do science with every day!

This was an ugly moment for our community. Not only did we fail to interrupt the comments as they were happening, but we let the clapping be the loudest response. Any one of us could have said something in the moment, and we all failed. We need to do better.

Dr.MariaElena Zavala's talk at #MGM2023 was amazing. Dr. Zavala talked about research, mentors & work to increase the number of historically excluded folks in the academy. The Q&A session however had VERY disparaging comments about Indigenous peoples and I want to tell you why 🧵

My lab is looking for a postdoctoral associate in Plant Genetics, Genomics and Bioinformatics. Anyone interested in epigenetics and bioinformatics is encouraged to apply. Experiences are NOT required! explore.jobs.ufl.edu/en-us/j…

We are excited to publish this work in @PlantPhys: doi.org/10.1093/plphys/kiac4… with @DamonLisch. We created two potentially novel imprinted genes using Mutator transposons. There are no things that transposons can't do!
More often than not, if you are doing genomics, you are studying TEs!

University of Florida's Meixia Zhao will present today's GDCB Seminar, "Epigenetic silencing of transposable elements and the effects of transposon silencing on meiotic recombination in maize," at 1:10 p.m. in 1414 MBB.

There are still a few slots left to fill for the semester. If you work in the maize / evolution / genome diversity spheres and want to present your work to an enthusiastic audience, please sign up!
#Zeavolution maize evolution webinar series starting up again in Sept. This semester @sna8 will be hosting! If you want to join the slack, DM one of us. And if you'd like to present, please sign up here! docs.google.com/spreadsheets…
Now that crossing season is slowing down many places, please look forward to the fall semester and sign up to present at the Zeavolution webinar series! This is my favorite seminar series to share new data with evolution-minded folks. Reach out if you need more info.

Watching sighthounds run is one of my favorite pastimes. Here are a few seconds of my greyhound and whippet at play (captured in slow motion).
Today we send off high school teachers April Kinder and Rowena Frianeza, who have been in our lab this summer through ISU's Research Experience for Teachers program. I am very grateful to their contributions to our lab and look forward to meeting their students over Zoom!

Gotta love a paper bringing a classic maize mutant into the genomics era. Nice work team!

Nice work @spklein2 @km_higgins26 @Clore_IV Conner and Ella, plus our RET teachers April and Rowena!

I am at #PlantBio2022 today and tomorrow. Catch me at this workshop or reach out if you want to meet up!
Hey #PlantBio2022, join @CNathanH and my “Transposable Elements across Plant Genomes” workshop today (Monday) at 10A with @sna8 @SigmaFacto @MeixiaZhao and Ning Jiang in room B115!

COVID warning for #PlantBio2022
At #ICAR2022 we advised masking in sessions but not at social sessions/events.
Sadly ~1/4 attendees caught the virus.
Everyone can reduce their risk but people can also make their own decisions.
All that said: Enjoy getting together!

During my PhD, I got alot of unhelpful advice
Now I'm a PhD supervisor, I know 💯 what I needed to hear
