My first first author publication is now out on BioRXiv! Super excited to share a new outlook in using the entire UV-VIS spectrum when analyzing plant samples on an HPLC-DAD! Super big thanks to my lab and all those who have helped me get here! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Excited to share my first first-author publication!! HyPhy is a Python-based tool for studying fungal hyphal networks, opening new doors to connect fungal architecture with genetic and environmental factors.

#botany2025 has been such a wild ride I have to shout out @melaniemadrigal.bsky.social who won best phytochemistry talk on HER FIRST TALK EVER! for her work on GWA of Botrytis resistance to plant VOCs

The Dowell Lab is headed to #Botany2025, come check out some of our amazing talks to see what we’ve been up to!
