Interested in how we can leverage all this fancy new omics data to improve plants for productivity under climate change? @jnbserres and I share our ideas in this new review: nature.com/articles/s41588-0…

I cannot stress enough how happy I am to share this with you. Most of the work carried out over the last two years of my PhD has finally been brought together in a manuscript, now available on biorxiv: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

We developed a new CID module that can be reprogrammed to bind diverse ligands. It works very well in plants, and we used it to make plant-based biosensors. W/ @LabWheeldon, T. Whitehead, @NusinowLab, @bvolkie, @BeltranJBio, nature.com/articles/s41589-0…

In an unconscionable move by the UC, University of California Police arrested 3 workers on felony charges and confiscated their possessions for writing messages in chalk and washable paint calling on UC to stop underpaying workers.🧵

Attention, plant scientists! Are you working on any plants belonging to the red groups? We are looking for collaborators who could provide us with RNA capturing expression of organs of plants from the neglected plant lineages.

Our recent study trying to dive into the process of drought recovery in Arabidopsis has uncovered new insights into the molecular response of plants to rehydration -> 80% of drought-responsive genes return to normal levels within 15-60 minutes of rehydration. 1/

My undergrad mentee is graduating in the summer after working in our molecular plant genetics lab for what will be 2 years! He's on the hunt for a lab assistant/technician position after graduation. Seen any posts?

I’m proud to vote YES on the new UAW SRU contract. The pay raises will make UC Riverside graduate students some of the best paid in the country when adjusting for cost of living.

Proud to write and sign this letter advocating for unity in our fight for contracts!

rank and file organizers across the UC have written an open letter against an anti-union no-vote campaign. read it, sign on, and let's keep building solidarity to fight the boss.

It's so convenient that UCD set up an email address where people can get answers about the strike: strikequestions@ucdavis.edu . @UniCalifornia should be promoting this more, I know lots of TAs and GSRs who have questions they want answered!
