A long-lived perennial rice has been developed, so farmers can plant just once and reap up to eight harvests without sacrificing yield. Proud of Erik Sacks, my past research collaborator from @UofIllinois https://t.co/MtcbVc3lXB

There is a philosophical tug of war between free traders who would slash tariffs and open up the UK market to competitors & those who prioritise domestic production and protection for agriculture

Really disappointed to have confirmed a second case of #AvianFlu in Scotland yesterday. Small backyard flock in Tankerness, Orkney follows in from small commercial on at Bernera, Lewis.
Please everyone, keep YOUR birds safe. It’s a horrible way for them to die.

If you do drug R&D, check the history of ischaemic stroke to avoid the mistakes. By 2007, 900 drugs had "positive" animal results, 97 were tested in people, but only 2 showed benefit.

Devastating to listen to @jamieoliver on @BBCr4today (about 7.35) on England’s ‘meanness’ to children—this gov’s apparent inability to grasp that hungry children can’t learn. How do we ‘level up’/build a better future except through the next generation?
