Today I had a reviewer say that my 24-page journal manuscript should just be converted to an extension publication for growers because the “information would be more useful that way”.
Same reviewer said my research wasn’t novel enough. The technology isn’t even commercial yet…

Being a weed science grad student just feels like finding new ways to say “pigweed is bad” over and over until you die.
I understand, but loathe the idea of self-plagiarism.

W/ dicamba registrations vacated, it's more important than ever to make sure you have a residual herbicide at planting and in the 1st postemergence application! Take a look at the High Plains cotton weed management guide & be sure to keep up to date on new dicamba policies!

Threshed pigweed seed samples through our soil grinder today! This is the easiest method I’ve found to separate the plant material from the seed. 25 populations from across west TN threshed in one day! Next step: sieve out the seed so we can plant greenhouse tests!

Training commercial teams is one of my favorite responsibilities! Here I was training Illinois Pioneer agronomists on herbicide symptomology!
Sharing the results of demos/trials and training the commercial teams is a significant part of the Field Scientist's role. Delaney Foster, Illinois Field Scientist, has hosted numerous tours across her territory this summer.

Driving through the middle-of-nowhere west Texas to a cotton producer's meeting w/ my boss. There's no radio signal so he opens the console and pulls out not one, but TWO Dixie Chicks cd's.

If you wonder why many grad students are choosing industry instead:
Try putting a ton of work into multiple papers/ year to get this kind of review & the number of successful papers be a major metric for promotion and tenure. I have much respect for the early career professors!

Our lab shares a hall with the IT guy's office and also connects to a greenhouse. Yesterday I walked into the hallway to find a mouse looking at me... so naturally I hollered at David to come get it. His response?
