I was elected the next chair for the Quantitative Genetics and Genomics Gordon Conference; I am

co-chair in 2015 and chair in 2017, then I join the past-chairs executive committee—an exclusive

group! I wrote the NIH and USDA conference grants for this group, as the chair for 2015 is

European.

I am an Associate Editor for Frontiers in Plant Genetics and Genomics, with Rich Jorgensen as

Editor-in-Chief. I organized a Research Topic in Metagenomics for the journal, with Gane Ka-Shu

Wang and Jeffery Chang as co-editors.
