Today we bid farewell to Lauren, who is off to Norwich, England for a few months on an NSERC Micheal Smith Foreign Study Supplement. This is a great opportunity and we are so excited for her. Have a great time overseas!

My first Honours thesis students, Sydney, Kristen, and Alysha - the self-proclaimed 'OG Squad' - presented their work at the Queen's Undergraduate Poster Day last week. Sydney worked on a genetics project to isolate double mutants to study an immune signalling pathway. Kristen worked on the CPK28 interactome, tirelessly cloning split-luciferase constructs and performing coIPs. Alysha generated over 25 point mutations in CPK28 phosphosites (in both bacterial AND plant expression vectors!) and established a functional screen in N. benthamiana to test regulatory roles of these sites.  I couldn't be more impressed by the excellent work they've done these past months. Special shout-out to Kristen, who equally impressed several faculty in our Department and walked away with a Best Poster prize - congratulations!!

I was invited by Owen Rowland and Shelley Hepworth to give a seminar in the Department of Biology at Carleton University and discuss our current projects. Fun fact: Owen and Shelley are fellow former U of T, UBC, and JIC/TSL alumni,  although we never overlapped!

I spent part of the afternoon visiting the impressive research facilities at Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada - including some amazing automated phenomics setups. In the summer they have a huge experimental farm, with drones! 

Thanks for the inspiring visit - I'm full of new ideas.
