Update: I am officially planning to head to PAG in January. Thanks for the advice everyone!

I am editing a collection on "plant epigenetic regulation" for BMC Plant Biology. If you think that your paper might fit there please contact me or send it through the submission system to our collection: www.biomedcentral.com/collections/...

Genomics/plant bio folks, I'd love to crowdsource some wisdom here: what 2026 conference would you recommend to a postdoc (me) working on a non-model species who wants to make the jump to industry computational biology within the next year? Thanks in advance!

Our "Joshua tree is CAM" paper is finally out: nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... Data collection started back in 2021, when we saw weird results in some RNAseq that made me stop and wonder if Joshua trees, long thought to be C3, were actually...CAM!

N: Vancouver, BC E: Kruger National Park, South Africa S: Johannesburg, South Africa W: Vancouver, BC (again)

AI can be useful sometimes, but...I just think it's important to remember that ChatGPT is, in fact, a statistical model rather than a human-level intelligence.

What happens when a CAM species and a C3 species hybridize? Find out today in Comparative Genomics I at 10:15 (right after the coffee break)! #botany2025 #whambamcam #camgenda

A highlight of the day at #Botany2025: learning about CAM in the carnivorous genus Pinguicula from Daniel Mok of @msupri.bsky.social. So cool to see hypotheses from 1991 confirmed in 2025!

Did you see Catrina Adams' #Botany2025 plenary talk on #PlantingScience last night? She shared so much fantastic info on the program---if you'd like to read more about the program, check out this new Plant Science Bulletin article! issuu.com/botanicalsoc... #botany #plantscience #plantpeopleftw

Watched a few great talks at Hybrids & Hybridization I of #Botany2025 this morning - next up, Dryland Floras! If you're like me and like both hybrids and drought, check out my talk on hybrid Yuccas and drought-induced CAM on Wednesday at 10:15 (Comparative Genomics I)!

Heading to #Botany2025? Curious how plants thrive in extreme deserts and drylands? Don't miss our Dryland Floras colloquium, we've lined up a great session! 🌵☀️ 🗓️ Monday, July 28 | 🕗 8:00am–12:00pm | 📍 Mojave Learning Center

Lab group trip to Joshua Tree NP! #botany2025

Hello Science Feed! 🧪 I am a plant breeder and geneticist at @savannainstitute.bsky.social. I run the breeding programs in American persimmon and black locust, and I did my PhD in tart cherries at Michigan State. I specialize in weirdo genomes and the wonderful slow pace of tree breeding 🌳🧬

Not at all jealous of my PI right now (but also incredibly happy for her! and excited to hear about her trip when she gets back 👀)

The first chapter of my dissertation is now out on bioRxiv! Check it out if you've ever wondered how plant responses to different abiotic stresses might overlap: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Hello Bluesky! #Introduction I'm Anna, a first-generation PhD and a postdoc with @kheyduk.bsky.social. I work on genomics of facultative CAM in Yucca and assembling bromeliad genomes! My PhD work was on grass abiotic stress genomics with public data. Happy to be back in science social media land!
