If there aren’t potholes big enough to swallow a small child, do you even live in Appalachia?
Can you spot the one that does not belong?
One of these guys is an everyday person spending the day in the shoes of a male model! We think he is doing a good job. Anyone can do it! ;)

Not the most glamorous part of ceramics, but rainy days are good to mix glaze. Anyone got a guess what color this turns out once it’s fired?
Chemistry is neat.

Happy #DayintheLife Monday! This week, let’s take a look behind the scenes in A Day in the Life of the Collections Department as they add new materials to the collection! #ADayInTheLifeAtOLS
Our Libraries order books through a vendor contract and eagerly wait for unboxing days. As they unpack the boxes, our #collectionstaff organizes them onto carts to see everything that is part of that shipment (which sometimes spans over several boxes). Then they verify everything they see against their packing lists to ensure no titles are missing. (And if we see something especially exciting, we share a sneak peek in our social stories. )
Once everything is accounted for, the scanning process begins! Through our contract, the books come pre-programmed with their records, but we double check them as we scan to ensure no adjustments are needed. And then it’s off into our red courier boxes to fill the shelves at your local branch! #osceolalibrary #librarystaff #librariesofinstagram #collectiondept #newbooks

Today we chat to SCI member Luca Steel about their life as a plant pathology PhD student in 2020.
Luca Steel is a PhD Student at Rothamsted Research
Can you please provide a brief summary of your research?
Zymoseptoria tritici is a fungal pathogen of wheat which can cause yield losses of up to 50%. We’re investigating an effector protein secreted by Z. tritici which acts as a ‘mask’, hiding the pathogen from host immune receptors and avoiding immune response.
What does a day in the life of a plant pathology PhD Student look like?
My days are very varied – from sowing wheat seeds to swabbing pathogenic spores onto their leaves, imaging symptoms, discussing results with my supervisor and lab team, and of course lots of reading. It doesn’t always go to plan - I recently attempted to make some wheat leaf broth, which involved lots of messy blending and ended up turning into a swampy mess in the autoclave!
Wheat in the incubator!
How did your education prepare you for this experience?
The most valuable preparation was my placement year at GSK and my final year project at university. Being in the lab and having my own project to work on made me confident that I wanted to do a PhD – even if it was a totally different research area (I studied epigenetics/immunoinflammation at GSK!).
What are some of the highlights so far?
My highlight was probably attending the European Conference on Fungal Genetics in Rome earlier this year. It was great to hear about so much exciting work going on – and it was an added bonus that we got to explore Rome. I’ve also loved getting to know my colleagues and being able to do science every day.
What is one of the biggest challenges faced in a PhD?
My biggest challenge so far has probably been working from home during lockdown. Although I am very privileged to have a distraction-free space and good internet connection, it was difficult to adjust to working from my kitchen! It was sad abandoning unfinished experiments, and I missed being in the lab – so I’m glad to be back now.
Pandemic Workstations
What advice would you give to someone considering a PhD?
If you’re sure you want to do one, then absolutely go for it and don’t be afraid to sell yourself! If not, I’d recommend spending some time working in a lab before you apply and chatting to any prospective labs. If you don’t get a reply from the PI, existing students/post-docs in the group are often very happy to talk and give honest opinions.
How have things been different for you because of the global pandemic?
I was lucky that the pandemic came early on in my PhD, so I had a lot of flexibility to change what I was working on. I switched from lab work involving lots of bioimaging, towards a more bioinformatic approach. My poor laptop will be glad when I’m back to using my computer at work!
