There are many advantages of breeding fruits. (Beautiful scenery and walking away with a big ol' bag of Zestar!/Minnewashta and Chestnut Crab apples.) #pomology #fruitbreeding

We refer to them as "shitty little birds" but have also given in and begun to appreciate their tenacity/ingenuity. (And they eat Japanese beetles)

Ever since I was a child, from the very first time I experienced the joy and wonder of dinosaur fossils at a natural history museum, I always knew I wanted to grow up and submit expense reports in Concur for institutionally sponsored travel

"You were riding in the morning, or at night, or on a quiet road, or a main road. The only time and place to ride a bike is a time beyond time and a place beyond place, where the space-time continuum is bent so strangely that you are both everywhere and nowhere." buff.ly/bSa1Wm5

When someone has a science problem and you suggest a science solution, talking straight out of your ass... but then it turns out you're actually correct because you do know a science or two.

I guess where I live the cops would usually just pepper spray or billy club people until they let go. Minneapolis cops definitely aren't above tear gassing a whole crowd.

academia is making plots and figures you care about but no one else does, industry is making ones that you don't care about but other people do

Nobody in this coffee shop knows that I'm aligning genomic data for a specialty crop and listening to the Brokedown Palace (1999) soundtrack.

Because the #datascience and #plantscience deities smiled on me after complaining online last time: There's also got to be an API for a data source with cumulative precipitation, right?

#FreedomFromPantsRide got a lot of rain this year, but just turned into a dance party in the old sculpture garden conservatory.

usanpn.org/data/code offers an API for this, if you even care.

We're just north of their range, but with global warming and breeding for cold tolerance, fingers crossed! As for deliciousness, I'll let you know in ~4 years.

Can we take a moment to appreciate the rendering of transposable elements as mischievous little scamps in this Medeiros et al paper? acsess.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/... #PlantScience

Two people riding one lime scooter inside the skinny buffer lines on Lyndale Ave because there's no bike lane. My reaction: Good. It builds character. In my day we rode in traffic, we got run over on the way there and on the way back, and we appreciated what we had.
