Farewell (until your viva) to @JoshOWaites as he departs from the @JohnInnesCentre for new adventures @CIMMYT. Wishing you all the very best in your new job. We look forward to seeing your updates, and following how you get on...

@KarenJukes2 @MrMatthewTodd @JustStop_Oil @matthewdmarsden Terrible example... After research showed that acid rain was occurring, government's in Europe and North America reduced the release of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide to prevent acid rain. Research shows the climate crisis is happening, and what are our governments doing now?

Today, the European Commission officially proposed to upgrade its rules from 2001 : gene edited plants with fewer than 20 edits will be exempt from GMO legislation in Europe in the future. Finally.

@gengahr I don't suppose this will be put on Band camp? Or is there a store where I can buy the download of it?

The British Society of Plant Breeders (BSPB) has welcomed the announcement that the Genetic Technology (#PrecisionBreeding) Bill has been granted Royal Assent to become an Act of Parliament.

This is a hugely significant piece of legislation!

I participated in this training school last year and highly recommend it. Our hosts at @JohnInnesCentre were kind and knowledgeable. You`ll have series of lectures followed by lab work. Check more info 👇

This should say "Triticum polonicum", it's not a radioactive metal wheat!

[Josh Waites @JoshOWaites]

Fantastic talk today at #PAG30 by @AndyChen_Wheat on the mapping of the elongated glume loci in Triticum ispahanicum and Triticum polonium 🌾

This is the amazing power of plant biotechnology! 7 years ago we made a GM camelina plant that makes omega-3 fish oils. Today in the glasshouse we have ~50 million seeds of this same plant! A self-replicating system for sustainable aquaculture & better nutrition for all.
