Great to see #GM and #GE crops discussed at @FAO #SeedConference. The world needs gene technology!

#DNADataStorage really isn’t an idea anymore. We are well on our way to viability. Thanks to @thomascoughlin for the nice overview here.

The #GMO debate has been contentious for decades, but data suggest those days are behind us. For this month’s Breaking Ground we hear from Dr. @Sarah_Evanega on the advances that have finally brought us to this point.

We raise our Atlantic salmon in land-based RAS to create an environment that's good for our fish & planet. Our farms are in North America, providing greater access to fresh salmon & a reduced carbon footprint compared to conventional farming operations. #sustainability

What does GMO stand for? It stands for Genetically Modified Organism. It also stands for benefits to consumers, benefits to farmers, and benefits to the environment. GMO stands for food that's safe to eat and sustainable to grow.

Can't just spout w.o. data & a postulated mechanism. No correlation. Here is some data. As a veterinarian, I am not dependent on any one sector(fish or other animals). Salmon pens DO NOT impact wild salmon. SOMEONE SHOW ME SOME SOUND DATA CONTRADICTING THIS PLEASE & I will turn!

[AquaBounty @AquaBountyFarms]

Ocean salmon face predators, pathogens, and microplastics. #AquaBounty #AtlanticSalmon are raised in land-based recirculating #aquaculture systems (RAS for short), where they are not exposed to these threats. https://t.co/XnB4VHW6ym

[AquaBounty @AquaBountyFarms]

#GeneticModification has been used for thousands of years to breed plants and animals. Gregor Mendel's famous pea experiments in 1866 led to rapid discoveries in genetics, and today #geneticengineering creates life-saving medicine and sustainable food.

An oldie, but a goodie! @DishonFish recommends this Rustic Salmon Pie recipe from the Healthy Foodie who attests the smell is unbelievable! With summer's fruits & berry pies now a happy memory, why not try this one-dish meal full of the comforts of fall? https://t.co/OhEF3l5F19

Seriously
@ThePeterPanPB & @NonGMOProject?

Misleading, because bioengineered foods are just as safe AND false because there are no GMO peanuts!

October is #NationalPescatarianMonth! Eating fatty fish like #AtlanticSalmon are an excellent source of omega 3 fatty acids which sharpen memory, improve mood, and protect against cognitive decline.

There really is no excuse for the delay in ramping up production of the tests and getting consumer support. This is in everyone's personal & collective interest.

[Emily Leproust @EmilyLeproust]

This is so simple! Want to know if you’re contagious, take a rapid #covid19 test. Done. We should be flooded with #RapidTests by this point in the pandemic.
