Tomorrow I will be starting up my own lab at AAFC Saskatoon as a Research Scientist in Pulse Crop Genomics.
I'm excited to start a new program, including work on pathogenic and symbiotic plant-microbe interactions and pathogen genomics.

Hello anyone with a sweep net. We've had south winds and aster leafhoppers in grasses and #alfalfa at the @AAFC_Canada Saskatoon Research Farm. Can you take 100 sweeps from somewhere green and freeze them in a plastic bag with date and site on it, and we'll see where they went!

There is value in testing for #clubroot in fields where #canola was grown the previous year in the following spring.
SaskCanola will cover the cost ($100 value) for SK canola farmers to test their 2019 canola fields for clubroot.
