A few years ago @GregHudalla and I started an interesting and fun research collaboration. I knew little about biomedical engineering, and conversely, I think Greg never envisioned a project involving corn. Happy to see the second paper of this collab out. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

Did you know potatoes are a nutritional powerhouse?
A single medium-sized potato can provide about half of your daily vitamin C needs & is packed with protein, calcium, vitamin B, iron, potassium, & zinc.

Latest manuscript coming out of our lab in collaboration with Al Myers's lab and Sam Zeeman's lab. This research forced me to step out of my comfort zone, but it was quite fun. academic.oup.com/plphys/adva…

I feel incredibly sorry that I will have to cancel my attendance and presentation in the @PBsymposium. I was very much looking forward to this meeting but a flu last week has evolved to laryngitis and I completely lost my voice.

Very good fruit (and weird for people who hasn’t seen them).

The jabuticaba tree from South America is a wonderful tree. Its fruits grow directly on the trunk and branches and tastes like blueberry yogurt.
