Three pics that to me truly represent today's message of #BlackBotanistsWeek2022 #DiversityIsPower 1) my team sometime in 2021 2)WUN heatwaves and drought group meeting and 3) at my table #ICAR2022 final dinner.

I am so relieved.
Five days post #icar2022 and I seem to have avoided the virus. I wore a mask when I could and was a boring old f@rt when it came to social time, but I can travel to the US for the plant biology meeting and to see my 85-year-old parents! Be careful travelers!

Always a treat to hear about Julie Gray's work on control of water uptake by engineering stomatal development. Julie Gray #ICAR2022

Liam Nolan has shared independent leader academic opportunities at GMI Vienna

Finishing his talk on a high note!

Heading out from #ICAR2022 . Thank you GARNet UK Plant Science, Spoel Lab et al. for a perfect organization and an entertaining program in an interesting location, Elwira Smakowska & Jack Rhodes for a stimulating session, and Lot Gommers for line dancing 💃 ! 😀

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

If you dont present unpublished data at all, why would you participate at a conference? isnt it all about feedback, scientific discussions, putting out new ideas and concepts than rather doing journal clubs? #ICAR2022 #AcademicChatter

Because you know I’m a very polite virus who likes to listen in on academic sessions but then heads home to bed so the humans can party without me. 🦠 ❤️ #PlantBio2022 #icar2022
