Hello world, an award for the whole @blackinplantsci.bsky.social community. Sharing this with trailblazer and researchers I admire since my PhD about 20+ years ago is an honour. Thanks to those that nominate me as rep from the whole team.

I'm so thankful to @naascarabidopsis.bsky.social for the Community Impact award, shared with @yoselin.bsky.social & Sterling Field. www.arabidopsiscommunity.org/news-events/.... It's especially sweet as I'll retire from ASPB Dec 31, 2026. I'm leaving my job so I'll have more time for my work 😉

NAASC is thrilled to announce the 20206 recipients of the Arabidopsis Community Impact Awards! All three are well-deserving of this honor. We thank the community for submitting the nominations. RSVP to attend the fall webinar with these awardees! www.arabidopsiscommunity.org/rsvp-awards-sessions

Happy Pride Month everyone!!!

Lately I always add an “LGBTQ+ in STEM” on my posters or talks. It’s usually brings attention and is so nice to meet more and more proud researchers. Let’s make science queer! @lgbtqplantsci.bsky.social

During Black History Month, California celebrates the rich history, culture & contributions of Black Americans. Let this month — and every month following — inspire our unified voices as we continue together on the path toward equality, liberty, and opportunity for all.
