Ready for the high school science bowl.
Ready for the high school science bowl.
Fun fact: My dog Texas is in the photo with me. I love taking him on trips and exploring new places together.
New lab member: Ananya Pandravada.
I am an undergraduate biology student at Iowa State University interested in plant genomics, plant stress biology, and crop improvement.

Crosswind landing practice.
UPS pilots are the best.
By bridging our fundamental research in Arabidopsis with crop physiology in maize, Iβm uncovering how the mother plantβs internal recycling system, maternal autophagy, is the primary driver of grain yield and seed quality.
New lab member profile: Xia Wan, postdoctoral fellow.
As a Postdoc in the Bassham Lab, I study how autophagy (cellular recycling) powers plant growth and reproduction.
Ha! Snowmageddon did not stop me!
One of my favorites.
Wouldnβt be the first time I slept in the airport π
Awesome! On my way east right now!
Also Doubtful Sound, NZ South Island
Yes to Mamaβs Fish House!
Living on the edge.
@hanhtkvu.bsky.social @embl.org & we are looking for a #postdoc to study #regeneration x #autophagy across kingdoms of life. Pls spread the word & get in touch if you are interested www.health-life-sciences.de/opportunitie...
Ohhhhh never thought to wear a helmet.

Night flying.
Join us in Montpellier in July. pem26.cnrs.fr
Yayayayayayayayay
It warmed up above zero so Iβm going flying. Wish me luck!
Oh, now you making me cry.
NSF needs to hear from you. Among other points, I suggested: keep politics out of science; stop using the threat of cancelling scientific grants to try to control universities; increase NSF funding for fundamental research. Pls send around. Deadline is January 27. Thanks

Waiting for βSomewhereβ at the Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis last night.
And I canβt go, dang it.
Finished. Now Xmas is really over.
Botanical blues.
I got married!
