- Over the past 20 years I have worked on several projects to support people who teach about plants. My biggest project, started in 2009, is “Teaching Tools in Plant Biology," a series of articles developed for undergraduate teaching and learning.
- I'm so excited to share this: All Teaching Tools content now available to everyone, no subscription necessary. Find them all here: community.plantae.org/organization/t… (And two more topics going into production this month!).
- Very sorry to hear that Dr. Joanne Chory has passed away, she was a remarkable scientist who inspired so many 🌱Into the Light: A Profile of Joanne Chory, from The Scientist @TheScientistLLC the-scientist.com/profile/into-t… (Love love love the accompanying photo)
- As of yesterday I have three wonderful granddaughters, Mona, Anna, and now Reina. I (jokingly) told my son that a fourth, Yukina? would spell MARY, but it was a firm "no". I'll be in Japan in August on full-time Grandma duty, lucky me 💖❤️❣️
- Finally the good news we've been waiting for. Nobody will tell this little girl what to do obviously 🥰 Stubborn, just like her grandmother.
- Happy birthday to me! For more than 30 years my mom has sent me an Audubon weekly calendar. It's the secret to my ability to juggle and stay on track. Thanks Mom! I hope 2021 involves less crossing out 😉
- Note to PIs. Your students and postdocs have gone through COVID-induced loss of speaking opportunities at crucial times in their training. Maybe when you're invited to give a talk, ask if you can give or share the opportunity with them? (Great idea 👍) #ICAR2022
- I am trying not to overwhelm my Twitter feed with pictures of my granddaughter, but this one is too cute to keep to myself. Besides, the rest of your Twitter stream is probably pretty depressing, right? So I am sharing the love.
- I'm really honored to have been selected as a Corresponding Member to the Australian Society of Plant Scientists, and thrilled to be able to support your fantastic community. Thank you @asps_ozplants! asps.org.au/members/corres….
- Just answered an email "Where are the Teaching Tools in Plant Biology?" There were moved to this page academic.oup.com/plcell/pages/t… when we started publishing with OUP. They are grouped by theme (hormones, development, etc). All found in zip files in "Supplemental Data". All free!
- I want to raise a voice for the many scientists with elderly parents living in other countries. Mine are in their 80s; normally I can be with them in ~12 hours, but with closed borders I have no idea what I will do if they need me. I am far from alone. Be kind to each other.
- My scientist friends. Sometimes people need to contact you. Sometimes people need to see if you're a good candidate for an award or seminar. Don't miss out. You need thre things: Twitter (you're here, so good). ORCID (aka ORCID ID), and a Google Scholar page. 🙏 FIN
