NSF-2026-OTR-0001 would implement ideology-based rules proposed by OMB, for short-term ideological goals that will greatly hurt the US's long-term competitiveness (my text also https://drive.google.com/file/d/1yKnZlVKG64vm9D8gqw-wPyjsJRTDa1mz/view?usp=sharing).

Our science & scientists also becoming victims of climate change. A/C systems not designed to deal with consecutive heatwaves & continuing to fail. Nearly 50°C in the room with our plant growth cabinets (which couldn't cope) today. 3 rounds of failed experiments.#plantscience #climatecatastrophe

Eerie similarity between NodeGWAS and our gfa2bin tool. Uses same public data (curated by my lab), same comparison against previous method from my lab & even same programming language, Rust.gfa2bin preprint went online 5 months before NodeGWAS was submitted.https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2590346226001434https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2590346226001434

Many years ago, my lab helped to discover YUCCAs. Later, Jia-Wei Wang in the lab sussed out the role of miR156s in a range of developmental processes. And now YUCCA and miR156 reappear as partners in this beautiful paper from the Lenhard lab! https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.aeb1157#plantscience
