Young biologists should work on plants. 🌱 1. SynBio tools are ~10 yrs behind bacteria 2. Basic science has lagged. Often, we don't know what to edit to improve traits 3. Pesticide use is flat & 40% of crops lost to pests 5. Design flowers. Lots of room to make a big impact!

We have 3 space dimensions but only one dimension of time. Why is there just one time? What would happen if there were more time dimensions? A short 🧵that requires some math. (You can probably follow w/o math as well) 1/16

One of the more interesting looking fungi I’ve been able to culture from barley in WA. Suspected to be Pyrenophora semeniperda (a minor pathogen aka Black Fingers of Death ☠️)

Replying to @BenLiddicott
A Pandemic Test-Ban Treaty would ban the experimental tests needed to learn which viruses are pandemic-capable. Rogue actors can't perform these and be believed because the results are easy to fake. Only the well-meaning can share credible blueprints for plagues.
