Our article is live! We used #RFdiffusion and #FoldSeek to predict protein-protein interactions between rice 🌾 and rice blast fungus. This was part of my work at MaizeGDB, and we’re looking to redo the analysis (and experimental validation) for other host-pathogen systems too!

Anyone going to #PAG31 and want to talk about machine learning in functional genomics? 🧬 I’d love to meet up and chat!

I feel this on such a deep level 🤣 #Truth

Yes! It's always shocking to see how much produce in MO/KS is 'imported' from CA,AZ,etc, even though fresher, better quality local produce is in-season,affordable, and seemingly abundant at farmers markets! Why don't more grocery stores reach out to local farmers for produce? 🤔

If you're in the KC area and interested in #UrbanAgriculture this looks like a great opportunity to learn from seasoned farmers and interact with your fellow urban farmers! I also love❤️that there is a session for #ProduceSafety!
KC growers! Peep this Fall Farm & Food Conference hosted by @KSFarmersUnion, @MoFarmersUnion & @KCFarmSchool! Day 1 = urban farm tours with a focus on #foodsafety; Day 2 = power presentations on LOTS of great topics. 10/18 - 10/19; FREE! MORE: bit.ly/3Fx3aV4
I'm having an AWESOME time at this @IFT -sponsered virtual workshop delving into #NonthermalProcessingTechnologies! As a student looking to make ultraviolet light more 'mainstream' in the consumer world, this has already been an invaluable experience! ift.org/events/event-listing…

It was an awesome surprise to see this #UV-treated apple cider! I'm hopeful to see more applications of UV to food stuffs in the future!! #ultravioletlight #foodsafety
A good set of reference materials for anyone studying or interested in ultraviolet light as an antimicrobial intervention! #uvc #ultravioletlight #microbiology
Decontaminating in ultraviolet (UV) – NIST (with @IntlUVAssn) published a new set of studies with methods to determine how physical and biological materials respond to UV radiation. Explore the collection: nist.gov/nist-research-libra…

Woot woot!!!
Lab team working on interesting project exploring cover crops for food safety applications in collaboration with @KStateOHREC @KStateOlathe @ajayhort
What a great article about a student-led initiative to tackle decolonizing science! IMO it is important to understand and challenge how the scientific method has been used as a gate-keeping tool to discount the knowledge of Indigenous peoples. shackletontrust.org/calls-fo…

I'm so excited to have been selected for the Food Security Scholar Program at @KState!!! 🤗 I'm looking forward to working with the @fss_ksu group to tackle food insecurity in my area!!! I'm super pumped so stay tuned for some great work!!! 👩🏿‍💻

A bit late but better than never! Hi everyone 👋🏾 my name is Olivia and I am doing a PhD at @KStateOlathe! I'm studying the use of ultraviolet light to inactivate waterborne/foodborne pathogens in agricultural water and on fresh produce surfaces! ⚡💧🦠☠ #BlackInMicroRollCall

I'm developing a survey about food safety practices and I'm having SO MUCH FUN collecting feedback from the pilot round! 🍅🍄🥐🥩🥚🍚🥛🧃 #foodsafetyeducation #foodsafety
Am I the only one who practically stalks the 'submission update' page after submitting a manuscript for publication? 👀 👀 👀 #AcademicTwitter #impatientscientistsunite
What an amazing, engaging discussion about forming purposeful collaborations, partnerships, and relationships with HBCUs in research and extension! So happy to see people who look like me being leaders in food safety! #IAFP2021

There were almost 1 million #BlackFarmers in the United States in 1920. Today, b/c of discriminatory practices, there are <50,000. Make your voice heard on how to best support BIPOC farmers at regulations.gov/document/USD…

Reminder! You have until July 15th to submit critical feedback to @USDA on how to advance racial justice and equity. #foodjustice #FoodSystems #FoodSystemsTransformation usda.gov/media/press-release…

I can't wait to attend the @KStateOlathe Olathe Horticulture Center Commercial Fruit & Vegetable Field Day 🍎🌽🍅🥦🥬🥕! This is going to be so much fun !!! If you're in the area, go to 2021veggiefieldday.eventbrit… to register! #producesafety #agriculture

Went to check on the garden and lookit!! The fruit on Figgy Smalls (our fig tree🌳) is finally ripening! We also had our first harvest of peppers 🌶, and our sweet potatoes 🍠and tomatoes🍅 are coming along well!! My SO and I gave ourselves a pat on the back!👩🏾‍🌾👨‍🌾 #gardening
