@itsdavidpurcell @C0URTLANDS In fact, lifting forks does make everything easier. Including, but not limited to, food :)

@ShapingFire Thanks for having me back!

Nothing is quite as hard when you have fellows to share the experience with. ❤

...and someone just stole my thermos full of coffee...

Why does 8 feel so much earlier in winter? (Sinks slowly into a vat of coffee).

Hey folks, I podcasted about roots and exudates! Thanks @ShapingFire for the chance to spend a morning talking about the underground world of root activities, it was a great time. And thanks to @ChimeraGenetics for sending this my way!

OMG, after 5 years, I have finally optimized my most stubborn technique. Like, it worked, and not just sorta. What a time...

I got fed up with women's jeans and went to women's construction pants... and long story short, THEY HAVE POCKETS! Enough to fit my whole hands in... what is this magic??

What a fun day, dusting off my flow cytometry hat. Cells do stuff!

I really think I have the best supervisors. And my thesis takes shape!

Today I am a potion maker 😍 (and yes, it isn't finished yet so it is not made up to volume 😊).

Today is a chemistry day, and I couldn't be more excited!! What a great end to a productive week 😍.

Tissue culture and other similarly roasty toasty experiments in a heat wave suck. This moment brought to you by electrolytes and a cold washcloth.

Arabidopsis (according to literature): I'll die without iron in weeks... Poplar: hold my beer. Lavender: watching with popcorn. Moral of the story, lavender is one hardy mofo. Poplar is not. Arabidopsis is Arabidopsis.

Back to Victoria after a fantastic trip to Portland for #PlantBio2022! A great conference! I met so many wonderful people and I'm headed home with a full head of great new ideas and knowledge. Thanks to the organizers @ASPB /@cspbscbv and all of the fantastic presenters. 😊

Couldn't avoid going to a yarn store while I was here, and the Unravelled yarn store came with a bonus cat!

It's almost time for poster sessions!If you are here at #PlantBio2022, come say hi 😁.

First day of #PlantBio2022 has been so much fun, great talks and Portland food is so good...

What a magnificent root ball! And it just keeps going... #fogponics #rootballer #CedarIsABeast.

Two days until we drive out to #PlantBio2022, so excited! So many plant folks all in one place, plants for days... sounds like paradise.
