Passed my PhD candidacy exam this month !! Officially a PhD candidate in Complex Biosystems at @UNLincoln. Thank you to my advisor @szintri , my committee, and the @SchnableLab. On to the dissertation. #PhD #ComputationalBiology #PlantBreeding
The National Academy of Sciences (@theNASciences) has awarded Husker plant geneticist James Schnable (@szintri) one of its highest honors for multiple advancements he has achieved in plant science. go.unl.edu/neaq #Nebraska #UNL @SchnableLab @unlagrohort @UNL_IANR
"Schnable’s research on plant genetics and breeding for crops including corn and sorghum incorporates technologies and capabilities from engineering, artificial intelligence and statistics. His work provides producers with insights into crop health and improved varieties needing less fertilizer and providing greater stress tolerance. "He has established three companies in bioinformatics, climate-resilient agriculture and precision agronomy, raising more than $7 million in funding from angel and venture investors. "His research grant awards have topped $30 million ... " news.unl.edu/article/nation…
Congratulations to Husker plant geneticist James Schnable (@unlagrohort) on receiving one of the highest honors from the National Academy of Sciences: the 2026 NAS Prize in Food and Agriculture Sciences!
Happy New Year 2026 from the @KenchanmaneLab🎊 Wishing everyone peace, prosperity, and plenty of exciting discoveries ahead🌽🖥️🌱 Huge thanks to our incredible team for making 2025 an unforgettable year! #Plant #Science #Discoveries #HappyNewYear2026
Today, I was awarded the Outstanding Employee Award by the UNL IANR. I appreciated my hard work in the @SchnableLab has been acknowledged in this way! I look forward to continued work with the @SchnableLab team I enjoy being a part of so much.
Two of my graduate students Md Fahad Hasan and Edward Cedrick Fernandez won Gustav N. Geiszler Memorial Scholarship and Glenn S. Smith International Graduate Fellowship on the same day!
Hey, we know her! @Harshita17_ spotted this photo of @JensinaDavis participating in last year's Plant & Animal Genome mentoring program. Still a chance to sign up for this year's program (and catch up with us in San Diego in January).

Prof. @vla_torres of @unlagrohort and @UNL_PSI presents to the Plant Science Club on opportunities for undergraduate research combining genome editing, corn genetics, and artificial intelligence.
My field manager @Chidu_ullagaddi volunteered to show local farmers our sorghum diversity plots near Lincoln this weekend. Explains that we sometimes grow “bad” lines (diseased, too short/tall, tiny heads) to understand the genetics that can lead to future better varieties.
Checking in on one of our nitrogen experiments -- part of the @NECornBoard supported Nebraska Nitrogen Initiative -- from the air. Big thank you to the great research team up at @nebenreec who host and manage this site.
🌽Congratulations, Shahan Baker, for wrapping up his #NSF_REU project with a poster presentation last week. This summer, he worked under the mentorship of @YuvrajChopra100 @KenchanmaneLab looking at 🌽 roots under water-deficit stress!
Some of our sorghum lines recovered well from early-season cold stress and are now performing much better. A few are being selected as potential parents for future trials at @SDState @SDStateCAFES, and @UNLincoln, in collaboration with @SchnableLab
