Traveled to the stunningly beautiful Monterey Bay to speak at #Fungal26 about how ✨serendipity and effort✨ have shaped my path as a scientist. The thing is, though, that everything about this trip felt serendipitous. And well, the best things seem to happen like that 🌱 excited about the future!

New strategy at work. Will this work? (I could go to the library but I have two screens here 👀) #PostdocLife #PlantScience

Sign that says Writing day! Please only interrupt if it is urgent. If not, text/email. Thanks!

Was sad that I missed #PlantHealth2025 (in Hawaii of all places 😢) but just read @morgancarterphd.bsky.social ‘s recount of it and I am all caught up!

Opened this account around the start of my postdoc and now that I am almost a year in, I realize I haven’t posted much. Shall I bring some of what I post in Instagram to Bluesky? Not really sure who is active here but if you like #PlantScience and #SciComm, lemme know 😉

ATTENTION #PlantScience researchers! @btiscience.bsky.social is the best place in the whole world to work. Today was Cookies and Canines Day where they brought in dogs to pet and cookies to eat! And here's @epiplantpath.bsky.social meeting some new friends = )

You have to believe you can write a manuscript in a week, so that it will end up only taking three months.

Small RNAs are key players in how bacteria adapt to changing environments. Tools like RIL-seq uncover complex sRNA-RNA networks, paving the way for innovative approaches to fight bacterial infections. Check our review in Springer Nature Protocols: link.springer.com/protocol/10....

Small RNAs regulate bacterial pathogenicity in multiple species.

Baby tomato plants to light up your Monday morning! ✨🌱🍅 I read somewhere the other day that seeds sprout in the dark and navigate it for a while before reaching the light later. How amazing is that. It’s simple, I’ve known it for years. But I have never truly reflected on it. #PlantScience

Welcome! I study how pathogens cause disease in plants (mostly potatoes! 🥔), love to communicate science, and am very passionate about promoting #WomenInScience. Expect posts of all the above in English/Spanish, sharing of opportunities, and pictures of cats (of course😻). #SciComm #PlantScience

A quick note to all the NewSkys: there really isn’t algorithm here. We depend on each other to spread the word. So if you want others to see something, repost it. Liking something adds it to your feed but doesn’t surface it for others.

Hi! Finally made my way here 👋🏻🩵✨ Hoping I get to connect with new and old friends and colleagues. I study plant diseases and how they function at the cellular and molecular levels 🌱🧫🧬 Currently three months into my #postdoc where I’m training towards (hopefully) becoming a #newPI. Sending love!
