New strategy at work. Will this work? (I could go to the library but I have two screens here 👀) #PostdocLife #PlantScience

Was sad that I missed #PlantHealth2025 (in Hawaii of all places 😢) but just read @morgancarterphd.bsky.social ‘s recount of it and I am all caught up!

My team has updated our free database of POSTDOC fellowships. This database contains 286 entries. For each entry, we provide a link, short description, deadline, amount, and eligibility criteria. Download this updated and expanded database here: research.jhu.edu/rdt/funding-...

🍄 As is tradition for MSA, we're hoping to highlight a student-designed logo for #MSAfungi26 in Portland, Oregon. Our theme is Bridging Mycology Across Communities and Disciplines. Tap into your creative side and submit a logo design for consideration. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Opened this account around the start of my postdoc and now that I am almost a year in, I realize I haven’t posted much. Shall I bring some of what I post in Instagram to Bluesky? Not really sure who is active here but if you like #PlantScience and #SciComm, lemme know 😉

ATTENTION #PlantScience researchers! @btiscience.bsky.social is the best place in the whole world to work. Today was Cookies and Canines Day where they brought in dogs to pet and cookies to eat! And here's @epiplantpath.bsky.social meeting some new friends = )

Why do the best times pass so quickly? We had an amazing weekend with our lil friend family that we love so much ❤️‍🔥 the people: (posting in both apps cause I don’t know who uses which)

Incredibly proud to say that my first (mini)review and the first paper from only the Carter Lab is out now in @phytobiomesjournal.bsky.social! Kudos to grad student Dallas Moses for pulling together disparate studies on endohyphal bacteria in a focused way. apsjournals.apsnet.org/doi/10.1094/...

#PlantSci #PlantPathology #Phytophthora @epiplantpath.bsky.social Hooray for #WomenInScience!

Best way to find out that BTI is on Bluesky! 🫶🏻✨🩵 I’m almost at the 6mo mark now and very happy to be part of this amazing place!

Sending everyone here a lot of light and love during this holiday season ✨❤️‍🔥🫶🏻 To more science, plants, cats, and friends in the new year!

You have to believe you can write a manuscript in a week, so that it will end up only taking three months.

The Future of Food! 🌱 Open Rank Faculty Position @Stanford crop-focus or formal engineering training not required. Know someone? Encourage them to apply. facultypositions.stanford.edu/en-us/job/49... #FoodSystems

Small RNAs are key players in how bacteria adapt to changing environments. Tools like RIL-seq uncover complex sRNA-RNA networks, paving the way for innovative approaches to fight bacterial infections. Check our review in Springer Nature Protocols: link.springer.com/protocol/10....

I take this opportunity to remind everyone that there is an open 'focus issue' on #phylogenomics @theplantcell.bsky.social ▶️ academic.oup.com/plcell/pages... All plants are welcomed ☘️🌲🌵 (and even algae 🤯)! Don't hesitate to DM if you have any question!

Baby tomato plants to light up your Monday morning! ✨🌱🍅 I read somewhere the other day that seeds sprout in the dark and navigate it for a while before reaching the light later. How amazing is that. It’s simple, I’ve known it for years. But I have never truly reflected on it. #PlantScience

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions (MPMI) Starter Pack There are still a couple of open slots in this pack. go.bsky.app/H3986W6

Hello new Plant Scientists, To get you started, the two #PlantScience Research #StarterPacks will connect you to other Scientists & relevant feeds: 1) go.bsky.app/8Zfmwf7 2) go.bsky.app/3NcqRCE You can find more relevant Plant Science feeds here: bsky.app/profile/soms... Further... 1/2

If this exists already.. I feel you can never have too many pet packs. Please let me know if you'de like to join. go.bsky.app/4TA4G8D

Welcome! I study how pathogens cause disease in plants (mostly potatoes! 🥔), love to communicate science, and am very passionate about promoting #WomenInScience. Expect posts of all the above in English/Spanish, sharing of opportunities, and pictures of cats (of course😻). #SciComm #PlantScience

So, aside from using social media to connect, I use it to communicate science. Because I believe that science ✨IS✨ for everyone. And, because we have a global misinformation crisis right now. I do it in Spanish on Instagram, but it would be great to do it here in English. Any interest? #SciComm

I initiated a plant pathology/plant microbe starter pack, feel free to self-nominate 🥀 go.bsky.app/LbYaW8k

Cats for your feed, friends ✨

A quick note to all the NewSkys: there really isn’t algorithm here. We depend on each other to spread the word. So if you want others to see something, repost it. Liking something adds it to your feed but doesn’t surface it for others.

Very excited to see the #plant #biology community taking root here! If you are new, here are a few tips to help you find your peeps!

Hi! Finally made my way here 👋🏻🩵✨ Hoping I get to connect with new and old friends and colleagues. I study plant diseases and how they function at the cellular and molecular levels 🌱🧫🧬 Currently three months into my #postdoc where I’m training towards (hopefully) becoming a #newPI. Sending love!
