- Reposted by Veggie Pathology at NCStateSad news. John McDowell has passed away. He was not only a brilliant scientist, he was one of the kindest people I have ever met. He worked hard, did a tremendous job in plant pathology and was a wonderful colleague. He is gone way too soon. www.mccoyfuneralhome.com/obituaries/J...
- Happy holidays! We hope you have a wonderful time with your loved ones 🎄 @kellyam24.bsky.social @smcochranmurray.bsky.social #GiantLabPickle 🥒
- Reposted by Veggie Pathology at NCState🧪 Dear PIs: Don't work on weekends & holidays. And if you do, don't brag about it. It's NOT cool. It reflects a bad set of values that promote unhealthy work-balance practices in the team you lead. You're an example for your students and colleagues, live up to it.
- Reposted by Veggie Pathology at NCStateNothing to see here.
- We had the PSI and our lab’s holiday parties. It was a fun and productive year and I am grateful for everyone in my lab, they are a wonderful team in every way. If we don’t catch you before the year ends, the Giant Lab Pickle and the lab wish you very happy holidays! @kellyam24.bsky.social
- Reposted by Veggie Pathology at NCStateIt was really great to spend quite a bit of time with Dr. Peter Oudemans from Rutgers University at GLEXPO 2024, it was also nice to hear of all of the #blueberry #diseases he helps manage in New Jersey. #bluedynamo🫐

- Reposted by Veggie Pathology at NCStateI can’t take any credit for curating the list, it’s all been done by the dedicated and amazing work of @somssich.bsky.social! He has made starter packs for all sections of biology!
- Reposted by Veggie Pathology at NCStateNo worries at all from my side. I'm happy if the packs get people to post here and abandon Twitter. That's what matters to me.
- Completely agree, I was hesitant to move because who needs more social media but @childslab.bsky.social told me how great it was. Tested it and this is absolutely a better product 🦋 my feed is interesting again and I’m not getting weird adds/feeds. Well done @bsky.app 🦋🦋🦋
- The thing about @bsky.app is - it’s just a vastly better product. It just… works. No ads, few bots, no hate, no abuse, no algorithms pumping out slurry & burying your friends. It’s fun. Actually fun over there. I know Twitter may not last. But take the plunge. It’s great 🩵
- Genius! 💡
- Thanks for clarifying! check out this amazing MPMI starter pack by @somssich.bsky.social! 🌱
