- Very excited to announce that our collaborative manifesto for 🌱 #PlantScience #Education has now been published! Educators from >10 countries and 30 institutions have contributed to it and we are incredibly proud of the final output. Here is a short thread 🧵1/4 doi.org/10.1002/ppp3...
- Pleased to share our latest work on is up on bioRxiv. Read for insights into how barely specialized metabolism is affected by biotic stress. We show serotonin and novel 2-oxo-tryptamine are produced and speculate on what they do 🌱
- FMO and CYP monooxygenase families determine the metabolic flux of hydroxylated tryptamine derivatives in barley (Hordum vulgare) following pathogen infection biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/202…
- Want to know more about how the important YUCCA family has diversified in plants? We introduce a new classification system in our recent study, now available on bioRxiv 🌱

Quantification of temporal changes in species richness and composition showed that temperature and plant-plant interaction are the main drivers of directional change👇🧪 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Several of my older or out of print stolen titles have outdated medical info in them, now being fed into its maw to eventually poo out wrong AI info on critical women’s health, baby safety advice, etc.

- Reposted by Elizabeth NeilsonMy scientific "me" was brought up with focus on experimental design. Over yrs, collaborating with others often non-ecologists, I've realized how different traditions there are. Some don't even pseudoreplicate; a single subject is the thing. Sometimes it IS complicated, but I recommend reading this 🗞
- I wrote (ranted) on experimental design as I was frustrated as an editor at how little guidance students were getting. I underestimated the interest in the issue: it has been downloaded 10,000+ times! Clearly it’s something we need to be talking about more. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Contact me if Q's.
- And for something else, today we brought home two foster kittens, Kiwi and Riley. Always need more cute pics of cats online!
