Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) is a grass closely related to sugarcane (Saccharum) and corn (Zea mays). It is the fifth most important cereal crop globally; its use is increasing due to its ability to resist drought. We are studying the role that fungi play in sorghum’s drought resistance and initiated our studies with the obligately mutualistic mycorrhizal fungi found in sorghum roots, arbuscular...

Social media and online communication are changing science—including how research is shared and how professional reputations are developed. With gender, race, and power dynamics all actively intersecting in these public and quasi-public settings, this moderated panel discussion explores the biases and filters built into “older” communication vehicles and “newer” ones. What are the tradeoffs...
Join us for a special department seminar with our own Michi Taga. Details are below. Michi will be giving this talk as part of the process for becoming a full-professor at PMB. The seminar allows the department to hear about the great strides Michi has made in the field of microbial chemical ecology since joining the PMB faculty in 2009.

"Tim Van Opijnen received his Masters in evolutionary genetics from the University of Amsterdam, and as a graduate student he worked on the evolution of HIV at the Medical School of the University of Amsterdam. As a postdoctoral fellow in the lab of Dr. Andrew Camilli at Tufts University in Boston his interests shifted to bacterial pathogens and systems biology. In January 2013 he started his own...
