Our #drone team spent the morning with the #UVM @uvmfnprogram showcasing drone technology. I predict drones will follow the trajectory of GPS and will soon be a tool regularly used in combination with field data collection.

Look at these chubby cute little Cephalotus follicularis (albany pitcher plant) o.m.g. seriously I died just looking at them.

ALT one green pitcher plant that's only as big as my thumb but the rims by its mouth is bright red and we can see a lot of hairs coming out of the plant
ALT just a group of pitchers in the same pot with a bunch of Oxalis and mosses. Almost all pitchers are bight red
ALT another angle of the same pot of bright red pitchers with Oxalis and mosses. They are just laying around and chilling and be perfect
ALT close up of two picthers. The left one is red but the right one is green. Both have bright red rims on the mouths though.

To study a protein & define its role in a pathway is like taking apart a model & building back piece by piece”, says Rachel Wilson, a PhD candidate whose research is on the VTI13 protein in Arabidopsis thaliana. Fun fact about Rachel, “When running, I stop & pet every dog I see”
