The article that we discuss in the “preview” is another nice contribution from @yongfeng_zhou @EdBuckler et al. Great input from @middle_author and Laura Shannon in our take on their paper.

New paper alert with coauthors @PeterLMorrell and Laura Shannon! This short preview article gives a glimpse into how a reduction in ploidy and better genomic tools will change (hopefully improve!) potato breeding. sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

There’s nothing wrong with interviewing and profiling controversial, even despicable people, but this framing is shit. There’s also a fine line between engaging provocative people and platforming stupid. This is platforming stupid.

Dr.MariaElena Zavala's talk at #MGM2023 was amazing. Dr. Zavala talked about research, mentors & work to increase the number of historically excluded folks in the academy. The Q&A session however had VERY disparaging comments about Indigenous peoples and I want to tell you why 🧵

In just eight days after going public (including a major snowstorm), a majority of graduate workers at the University of Minnesota have signed union cards. More than half of our bargaining unit has made their voices clear in demanding fair working conditions. Together, we win.
