[Understanding Evolution @undrstnd_evo]

Opponents call #GMO crops #Frankenfoods, implying that only mad scientists mix genes in this way. But biologists have found that nature itself often plays fast and loose with DNA. Check out our story on the new research from @LukeTDunning et al: https://t.co/4wD9QpAXr4

When you get a draft back from your supervisor or collaborator and it is covered in comments....

Each comment does not mean, "I think your draft is bad."

Each comment means, "I care about your work, and about you."
