Congrats to #DaniCárdenas & @plantdisease.bsky.social PostHarvest Committee APS-PH “A great team turns any job into a dream job”. Thanks to @quesadalabncsu.bsky.social for her support & leadership as past APS-PH Chair @ufifas-irrec.bsky.social @ifas.ufl.edu apsjournals.apsnet.org/doi/10.1094/...

We're hiring a plant pathologist! Looking for someone w/passion for diagnosing vegetable diseases & communicating results to clients. There's lots of other duties & opportunities. I also think it's a great lab 🤔☺️ jobs.ncsu.edu/postings/215... @quesadalabncsu.bsky.social @plantdisease.bsky.social

Last week @huntercollins.bsky.social Kelly Avila and Carlos Morales represented the lab at the #sweetpotato collaborators meeting. They shared research of postharvest diseases, insect vectors, and pathogen surveys 🍠 @aps-ph.bsky.social @aps-oip.bsky.social

Busy morning planning our 2025 field season! this year @huntercollins.bsky.social will have watermelons 🍉 , cabbage 🥬 , peppers 🫑 , cucumbers 🥒 , and sweetpotato 🍠 to test disease management options for NC vegetable growers @plantdisease.bsky.social

It’s here! The NC State Veggie pathology lab members starter pack, follow us for veggie adventures go.bsky.app/J9VgNLg

Detective Pickle and I are here at the N.C. Plant Sciences Initiative for Plant Science Outreach Day to help high school students solve the mystery of Murray Meadows Farm🕵🏼‍♀️🌱 @quesadalabncsu.bsky.social

Jan 1, and my first day as an Asst. Professor at Berkeley. The lab opens in just a few weeks and I am currently staffing at all levels- www.lotuslofgren.com/new-page-1

Sad news. John McDowell has passed away. He was not only a brilliant scientist, he was one of the kindest people I have ever met. He worked hard, did a tremendous job in plant pathology and was a wonderful colleague. He is gone way too soon. www.mccoyfuneralhome.com/obituaries/J...

Happy holidays! We hope you have a wonderful time with your loved ones 🎄 @kellyam24.bsky.social @smcochranmurray.bsky.social #GiantLabPickle 🥒

🧪 Dear PIs: Don't work on weekends & holidays. And if you do, don't brag about it. It's NOT cool. It reflects a bad set of values that promote unhealthy work-balance practices in the team you lead. You're an example for your students and colleagues, live up to it.

Nothing to see here.

We had the PSI and our lab’s holiday parties. It was a fun and productive year and I am grateful for everyone in my lab, they are a wonderful team in every way. If we don’t catch you before the year ends, the Giant Lab Pickle and the lab wish you very happy holidays! @kellyam24.bsky.social

It was really great to spend quite a bit of time with Dr. Peter Oudemans from Rutgers University at GLEXPO 2024, it was also nice to hear of all of the #blueberry #diseases he helps manage in New Jersey. #bluedynamo🫐

Happy happy birthday, @kamounlab.bsky.social! 🎂

Follow current and past members from our department! and please let me know if any new handles need to be added 😉 @bertonemyia.bsky.social @adriennegorny.bsky.social @k8iebird.bsky.social go.bsky.app/6yeqKHD

It was lovely meeting with colleagues, lab alumni, and growers/packers to talk about cucurbit anthracnose issues as part of our SAM-SCRI project led by Bhabesh Dutta at UGA

Beautiful sunrise at Myrtle Beach, SC. Pics don’t do it justice but I tried ☀️ 🌊

Thanks to everyone who has amplified and shared the initial starter pack. I have started another to amplify more Black Scientists here go.bsky.app/BkaCHkp

Here’s the updated Computational Biology Starter Pack! Let me know if you'd like to be included. go.bsky.app/QVPoZXp

I can’t take any credit for curating the list, it’s all been done by the dedicated and amazing work of @somssich.bsky.social! He has made starter packs for all sections of biology!

No worries at all from my side. I'm happy if the packs get people to post here and abandon Twitter. That's what matters to me.

Completely agree, I was hesitant to move because who needs more social media but @childslab.bsky.social told me how great it was. Tested it and this is absolutely a better product 🦋 my feed is interesting again and I’m not getting weird adds/feeds. Well done @bsky.app 🦋🦋🦋

DAPPER DON DHARSHI@dapperdondharshi.bsky.social · 2y ago

The thing about @bsky.app is - it’s just a vastly better product. It just… works. No ads, few bots, no hate, no abuse, no algorithms pumping out slurry & burying your friends. It’s fun. Actually fun over there. I know Twitter may not last. But take the plunge. It’s great 🩵
