Made it to #2025ISMPMI. It’s great to see my former lab members doing so well! @gangyuplant.bsky.social and the very first postdoc in my lab, Jun Liu.

Excited that I ran 4 miles at elevation at the University of Idaho - 1 year after my accident. I’m slowly getting closer to my goal of 5 miles (8K). Beautiful weather this week.

I haven't heard of anyone getting new USDA grants and the competitive USDA AFRI program has no new calls for research proposal. I assume they are checking to see if they align with "agency priorities". Way to kill important agricultural research. www.nifa.usda.gov/grants/fundi...
