Today, I was awarded the Outstanding Employee Award by the UNL IANR.
I appreciated my hard work in the @SchnableLab has been acknowledged in this way!
I look forward to continued work with the @SchnableLab team I enjoy being a part of so much.

Planting of the @SchnableLab SbDiv 2025 sorghum field is completed!
This 2,438 plot field was the toughest field I worked with due the small plot size (1-row wide and 7.5ft long).
However, @Chidu_ullagaddi, @Kyle__Linders, the UNL AgHort farm crew, and I succeeded!

Through the magic of GoPro cameras I'm getting a first person view of @JonathanTurkus install the prototype #NSFfunded "wearable" water use sensors my research team is using to track the water use of individual corn plants minute by minute. #cornhuskercorn

Oc-19 is a cool maize variety. Gorgeous purple, white, and green leaves.
However, it is apparently a pain to bulk out due to not producing much pollen.
@Kyle__Linders is trying an alternative measure to encourage pollen shed.
Pls message if you had issues with Oc19 & found a fix

First time growing inbred sorghum next to inbred maize (maize is in the background and sorghum is in the foreground.
They were planted on the same day.
Amazing how quickly maize creates biomass by comparison.

Great story by Samantha Grove on how new technology and artificial intelligence is changing corn farming. Features @tross_michael @NikeeShrestha2 & @JensinaDavis as well as @dbatie with some great photos by @LinaLpzc. nebraskanewsservice.net/stat…

My old man told me multiple times to always have a pickup truck on hand.
He is absolutely right !
@Bio_lo_Zest drove hundreds of ears, solar panels, poles, and a weather station from Scottsbluff to Kearney. I hiked it the rest of the way to Lincoln.

Fast Flowering Mini-Maize is a fun variety. When I grew the A line in the greenhouse, it was only 15-20inches (38-51cm) tall. So short!
However, if it is stressed, it may be even shorter!
In the @SchnableLab 2021 nursery. there was a drought. Some FFMM were less than 10in/23cm!

Only five months into her masters and @Harshita17_ has already mapped genes controlling flowering in a 700 sorghum diversity panel using GWAS and TWAS. Hard to believe this is her first poster presentation ever.

It has been a truly wonderful experience working with you, @LinaLpzc . I will miss you and all you have contributed to the Schnable Lab.
But I am happy knowing you will flourish out East!
Take care and best of luck! 😁
I will keep an eye out for your X posts!

The cleanest manhattan plot we’ve ever produced in my lab. Part of a new preprint led by @vla_torres linking genes to roles in determining flowering time using expression data using RNA collected from nearly 700 kinds of maize (corn). (1/7) biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

I am always having to look up the precise definitions of different growth stages of corn.
This is a great one for flowering to harvest (R1-R6).

Another successful harvest!
Today, the @SchnableLab completely harvested our Inbred HIPS corn field in Lincoln.
800 plots and ~4800 ears were collected in around 3 hours!

A big thank you to 6 grad students, 4 techs, 2 postdocs and 2 professors who spent this Saturday harvesting and husking corn. One field harvested, three more to go. #cornhuskercorn

Photosynthesis research is absolutely nothing like a real life horror movie. Why do you ask?
