Good morning #WCGALP2026 looking forward to a great day of science 🧬 🤩

[Prof Alison Van Eenennaam (@BioBeef) @BioBeef]

Opening ceremony of #WCGALP2026 in the books - weather cooperated and was a magic evening on the Monona Terrace - looking forward to a great meeting

[Prof Alison Van Eenennaam (@BioBeef) @BioBeef]

Headed for #WCGALP2026 in Madison, Wisconsin tomorrow - we have an awesome week planned with plenaries, speaker duels, video competition, tours, bands, dueling pianos, Gala dinner & dancing - looking forward to catching up with old friends & 1st time attendees! @CritterChatter

Feeding a growing population will require science, innovation and objective data. 🗣️

The future of agriculture and a sustainable food system depends on our ability to evaluate new technologies based on evidence, weighing both their benefits and limitations. 1/ @BioBeef

[CLEAR Center @UCDavisCLEAR]

From reducing insect damage to helping farmers use fewer insecticides, the discussion highlights how innovations in agriculture can involve important tradeoffs, benefits, and misconceptions. 2/

When people hear GMO, the conversation often stops before it starts.

In new CLEAR Conversations ep., our host & @BioBeef unpack why public perception of genetically modified crops doesn’t always align with science & explore one example that’s had measurable impact --Bt crops. 1/

CRISPR has become a widely used tool across medicine, research and agriculture.
“Nature is basically gene editing all the time,” Alison Van Eenennaam @BioBeef tells @foodtank

My absolute favorite day of the year is graduation day with PhD students at @ucdavis @ucdavisCAES @UCDavisGrad #GradStudies #OurUCDavis #UCDavisGrad #ClassOf2026 #Commencement I don’t envy the announcer with these two complicated last names!! 🤣Congratulations @Visionphemy

Had some delicious seedless, thornless gene 🧬edited blackberries from #pairwise in Colombia 🇨🇴 they have more compact architecture that allows higher yields - they were delicious 😋

The FDA has approved the use of these gene-edited pigs for the U.S. market.

[Prof Alison Van Eenennaam (@BioBeef) @BioBeef]

Interesting paper - the environmental footprint of Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome (PRRS) -negative pigs on North American farms is 4–6% lower than industry average, and 9–17% lower than PRRSV-positive farms (Not sure why there is cat ⬇️🐷) https://t.co/jaoDNgDs0y

Speaking today at the First International Meeting on Genome 🧬 Editing in Aquaculture in beautiful Puerto Varas - lots of great research being done in disease resistance in salmon - let’s hope these disease resistant alleles can be introduced into commercial breeding programs

Dr @BioBeef is up presenting on the global status of gene edited food animals and their products.
