Congratulations to all the incredible trainee presenters at #GLPSC2025! Your flash talks and posters showcased the creativity and rigor driving the future of #plantscience in the Great Lakes region. We’re excited to highlight our competition winners! 🏆🧵

I won the FIRST place in the flash talk competition at #GLPSC2025 🍀 I must admit, it was unexpected because this was my first flash talk and let me tell you; explaining what you do in 3 minutes is not easy! Thanks to organizers of #GLPSC2025 for the opportunity to share my work on 🌱 and space 🛰️

Bluesky now platform of choice for science community It's not just you. Survey says: "Twitter sucks now and all the cool kids are moving to Bluesky" arstechnica.com/science/2025...

Deleting a 600kb region in a genome? Not that crazy of an idea anymore! Papikian et al show that plants have an incredible ability to compensate for large genomic deletions. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Such a timely and important work! 👇 It was an incredible experience to be a part of the ROOT&SHOOT Inclusive Conference Committee (rootandshoot.org). I learned a lot in our discussions. It is always great to connect with like-minded people for an important goal: inclusive scientific environment 🌸

It is great to be part of this group. Thank you @plantphys.bsky.social for the opportunity to be an AFE

Here I am at #PlantBio2025 in Milwaukee Curious about plants under space stressors? 🚀👽🛸Come and visit poster number 200-21 @aspbofficial.bsky.social

Join us for the 1st Great Lakes Plant Science Conference!🎉 The poster abstract deadline has been extended to June 30th, so you still have time to showcase your work. Check out this link to learn more👇: research.msu.edu/glpsc2025

Like everyone else, I’m on BlueSky now. Follow to learn more on plants, microbes and even plants and microbes in space 👽
