Are you looking for some way to support STEM graduate students? PSU’s Day of Giving is right now, and you can support the Bio department here: giving.psuf.org/schools/Port... #college #university #donations #charity

Playing Valheim with the @mythrilgc.bsky.social crew this week was great, but we STILL don’t have the cultivator! We had a hard time finding any crypts… but found plenty of trolls instead. #gardening #gaming youtube.com/shorts/wFD8l...

On Thursday I was invited to present on Plant Science research and careers to middle schoolers during their science fair. They were engaged and asked lots of questions and got to see my staged lab pics and pics from previous jobs and projects. #science #plants

Yesterday I took some “day in the life” of a plant scientist (me!) for a presentation I made today to some middle schoolers for their science fair. Let’s see what a day in my life looks like! 1/…

I went back for more Hydroponics Farm and Shop Simulator this weekend. If you’ve ever been curious about hydroponic crops, this game includes some industry standards! #gaming #gardening youtube.com/shorts/tQ6zI...

Join me at 11am Pacific on stream as we dive back into Hydroponics farm and shop and make a couple of informational videos for YouTube! #gaming #gardening twitch.tv/dedscreen

@patrickdane.bsky.social thanks for the follow back. Really interesting interview with the OW team on the upcoming changes. I have a lot of my own thoughts on what your interviewee said, man OW is in a weird place right now.

Valheim’s Time To Farm (TTF) seems pretty high. We played for 3 hours last night and while I got to pick flowers and kill an elder god, I didn’t get to start my farm. Maybe next week! #gaming #gardening @mythrilgc.bsky.social youtube.com/shorts/R5E7T...

Join me at 4pm pacific today for a new group world stream of Valheim! Let’s see what kind of plants and farming we can interact with in this survival crafting game. #gaming #gardening twitch.tv/dedscreen

I won a travel scholarship to an industry conference next month! I’m SUPER EXCITED!!

Had to take a new headshot over the weekend, here’s what I ended up with. Me, in the greenhouse! #selfie

Did you know? Lots of trees house ferns way up in their canopies. Fern spores drift on the wind and germinate in beds of moss growing on the tree bark. #gaming #gardening youtube.com/shorts/d5Jx-...

I actually did my masters research with hydroponic beds like this! So cool to see it well-implemented in a video game. #gaming #gardening youtube.com/shorts/CeWWh...

In January I read four books: One Dark Window and Two Twisted Crowns, To Be Taught, If Fortunate, and The Deep. An interesting collection, with two novellas. Each has very different strengths and weaknesses. #reading #reader #bookish 📚

I played some Hydroponics Farm & Shop simulator this weekend and it was WAY more stressful than I was expecting lol. I went in expecting cozy gardening and instead was confronted with CAPITALISM. #gaming #gardening youtube.com/shorts/zeb_1...

How can you support me for free in my gaming and PhD journey? Twitch follows and YouTube subs are free! Those numbers have a direct impact on monetization program eligibility and revenue without you paying a dime. Links in bio! #supportsmallstreamers #gamer #gaming #phdlife #scientist

I like what I see in It Takes Two’s plant choices. In terms of interaction, we can jump on mushrooms so far but the rest seem like set dressings. But the models are really high quality imo! #plants #gaming #gardening youtube.com/shorts/JlKic...

With all this tariff uncertainty and food price anxiety I’m starting to feel like I should use the plant science club to distribute food producing garden plants this year. What are the most productive and easy-ish garden plants for beginners, in your opinion? #plants #gardening 🌱

I got a lot of “Brave Little Toaster” vibes while playing It Takes Two yesterday… this game is surprisingly BRUTAL. #gaming #gamer #streaming #coop youtube.com/shorts/H2xV_...

Join me at 11am Pacific as I play through some Hydroponics Farm & Store Simulator. Will this be a realistic representation of what we do IRL? Let’s see! #gaming #gardening twitch.tv/dedscreen

Join me at 6pm with a stream of It Takes Two on twitch! #gaming #streaming twitch.tv/dedscreen
