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
New strategy at work. Will this work?

(I could go to the library but I have two screens here 👀)

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 = )

Incredibly proud to say that my first (mini)review and the first paper from only the Carter Lab is out now in @phytobiomesjournal.bsky.social!

Kudos to grad student Dallas Moses for pulling together disparate studies on endohyphal bacteria in a focused way.

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:

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.

So, aside from using social media to connect, I use it to communicate science.

Because I believe that science ✨IS✨ for everyone. And, because we have a global misinformation crisis right now.

I do it in Spanish on Instagram, but it would be great to do it here in English. Any interest?

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.
