Dear @pairwiseplants ,

Corteva Catalyst’s Mathias Müller recently said SMEs should “do a lot of the legwork” on consumer-facing gene-edited crops “so we don’t repeat the debacle of GMOs.”

As a key Corteva partner (i.e. seedless blackberry), are you aware of what specific liabilities Corteva is seeking to shift onto smaller partners like Pairwise?

Have they been transparent with you about any anticipated risks (such as horizontal gene transfer, microbiome disruption, allergenicity, or environmental persistence) flagged in research? If so, can you comment on what some of those risks are, and what mitigation strategies Pairwise has in place?

Request for comment. I have also emailed the comms team. Thank you.

Hurricane Milton has now intensified into a CATEGORY 5 #hurricane with minimum pressure down to 925 mb just northwest of the Yucatan!

Nurses on horseback riding to help in NC. A crew with 25 horses and a volunteer farrier. Resourceful nurses! https://t.co/H4dst7AQyf

Yes, goats are everywhere. People who understand the mountainous terrain are bringing their goats, horses, and pack mules in. ❤️

Understand, the entire region of western NC is like a war zone stuck in the 1800’s. Thousands are still stranded because roads are destroyed.

A state of emergency has been declared in Voronezh due to drought.

This was Voronezh five weeks ago.

Our next Black Sea grain news report looks at why the state’s definition of a drought might not be a drought.

If you can't afford meat then get to your local livestock auctions and bid!
These sheep were sold for $1 each at Wagga.

For the price of 1 big mac meal you could buy a years worth of lamb... just need to be willing to roll up your sleeves!

Coming to America: even higher food prices and chronic meat and dairy shortages if we don’t fight to keep the woke climate cult from using government to decimate our livestock.

I found two eggs in the coop this morning… updating my Congressional financial disclosure forms now. #sassywithmassie

NERD ALERT...the atmospheric heights will be SO LOW tonight, anyone living above 4,000 ft or so (hello top of Mount Washington) will be in a different atmospheric layer entirely, the stratosphere! This layer is typically 4-12 miles up, but tonight it will be less than a mile!

[Peter Forister 🍁🍂🍁 @forecaster25]

The wind chill on Mount Washington's summit is now BELOW -100°F. 5pm on the nose. Winds up to 127mph. This could drop as low as -115°F this evening. #nhwx

INSANE conditions on Mt Washington, NH. 120mph+ winds and -95°F wind chill. It is above the tropopause, meaning that these are stratospheric winds.

Footage from the summit live stream 2:30-2:40pm. #nhwx

Two questions I suggest you ask the ethanol plant you are selling corn to.

Walking 100 Steps Backward - Retro Walking - is Equivalent to 1,000 Steps Forward Walking.

#Walking in reverse makes the heart pump faster and circulates more blood and oxygen to the muscles and organs, including the brain & help improve knee osteoarthritis.

When @jfarchy and I wrote in 'The World for Sale' the story of how Marc Rich inserted himself in the 1980s into a gov-to-gov oil deal between Iran and Burundi, we thought we were telling a commodity deal from a long gone buccaneering era (see below a fragment from the book) | 1/5

Just glad no one was hurt.
