Global warming is the biggest threat of our time & trees are one of our natural weapons to capture carbon. What if they could help faster? We @living_carbon are excited to unveil that photosynthesis-enhanced trees can grow faster and capture more carbon. Here's how we did it 🧵

Today’s research is just the first step in demonstrating how empowering ecology, through the responsible use of biotechnology in trees, can be a scalable and viable solution to the climate crisis. #ClimateAction #ClimateTech
Our first white x white cross in the greenhouse looks absolutely stunning! 😊

#AcademicTwitter: I used to be a horrible scientific writer. I was paralyzed by writing anxiety & it took me FOREVER to write papers. Last year I published 14 scientific articles (8 first, 2 second, 2 senior-author) & 2 book chapters. A thread⬇️on how I became more productive:

Serious question to all the graduate schools telling students not to come to campus anymore bc of coronavirus but telling staff a different story. Are grad students “students” or “staff” today? (Since it changes based on what best suits the university that day) #AcademicChatter
