It's Carrot Day! 🥕 Carrots are crunchy, tasty, and highly nutritious. Did you know they are a particularly good source of beta carotene, fiber, vitamin K1, potassium, and antioxidants? #FunFactFriday

Do you know of feral hemp growing anywhere in Wisconsin or surrounding states? If so, would you be willing to share some basic geographic and demographic information with us? Please go here for more information: ecals.cals.wisc.edu/2021/08/…

My brother Rick would have been 58 today but he’s not. In 2007, he went to a gun range in San Diego and shot himself in the head. This came after many years of addiction, depression, and thinking he was worthless. Each year on his birthday, I talk about mental health here.

Carrots haven't always been a vitamin A powerhouse. Over 25 yrs ago, ARS scientists began a quest to breed carrots packed with beta-carotene—an orange pigment used by the body to create vitamin A. Thanks largely to ARS, today carrots provide 75% more beta-carotene. #CarrotDay

Stunning R&D funding numbers coming out of @WhiteHouse today. How will this have America compete? NIH: -7% DOE: -17% NASA: -11% ARPA-E: -173% (not a typo - agency is eliminated, plus $311 million must be returned to Treasury) 1/4

Believe in yourself. Do not believe in journals. The annual parade of rejection letters from high-profile journals for work that ultimately won a Nobel Prize should tell you all you need to know about why we need to fix scientific publishing.
This is the rejection letter for the work that just won the Nobel Prize. Believe in yourself. Everyone else will catch up eventually.

Question for #agtwitter - I'm trying to find estimates of global crop losses due to pests. The classic reference is Oerke (2006) but that's quite old, and opaque on methodology. Does anyone know of more recent estimates? @WyoWeeds @waiterich @NRamankutty @eatcookwrite @AgBioWorld

Watch to learn how to properly dispose of infected plants. This @10TV segment follows a warning from @OhioDeptofAg about rhododendrons purchased from Walmart and Rural King. (These retailers have voluntarily issued a recall.)

As someone who hires for bioinformatics positions at biotech start-ups, the biologist turned coder is invaluable. Regardless of where you go next, your combo experience in dry/wet lab won’t be something you are “up against”, it will be your advantage. #phdchat #womenintech – at Medford, MA
