@CherrityG Feel free to contact any of the coordinators of the Cornell Synapsis Symposium! @BurchMerritt, @Ferebee2PhD , Sarah Jensen, Kevin Ahern, or myself. (Take a look at #SynSymp2020 if you want to see live tweets from it!)
A final thank you to the FIRE organizing committee for their attention to detail and suggestions that really made this symposium great @Ferebee2PhD @aimeejschulz Sarah Jensen and Kevin Ahern. #SynSymp2020
Here's all of us bringing the meeting to you:
Another big thank you to our sponsors:
@CortevaUS who puts on the Plant Sciences Symposia Series and has kindly funded this event for 9 years!
@Agronomix an new sponsor for us this year!
And thanks to @CornellCALS for letting us put on this event #SynSymp2020
Thank you to our speakers who seamlessly adapted to giving their seminars virtually and shared their research ideas with us: Avi Levy, @EstefaniaTav, Emily Ziemke, @TheKelloggLab, @CorakKeo, @plgepts, @plantevomorph, and Emily Spiegel #SynSymp2020
A big THANK YOU for everyone that attended the virtual Synapsis Symposium. ~200 participants tuned in to hear perspectives from lawyers, developmental & molecular biologists, and plant breeders on how we can bring back biodiversity into plant breeding programs. #SynSymp2020
Many thanks to the student organizers of the excellent #SynSymp2020 Cornell Plant Breeding symposium. It can't have been easy to take the symposium online but we're all grateful for it! @BurchMerritt @aimeejschulz @Ferebee2PhD Kevin Ahern and Sarah Jensen
It's a wrap - thanks to the PBG student organizers of #SynSymp2020! Can't wait to see how this successful virtual symposium inspires creative approaches in 2021! #CornellCALS #CornellSIPS
That's a wrap! Thank you to everyone who made #SynSymp2020 a huge success! With a constant stream of ~200 viewers at a time from around the world, great discussion on Slack, and breakout sessions, we couldn't be more thrilled with how our first all-virtual symposium went!
Interesting and very useful talk regarding legal considerations to protect agriculture's biodiversity π±π». Highly important to be up-to-date on these topics! ππ§ #SynSymp2020
Emily Spiegel going over UPOV (International Union for the Protection of New Varieties of Plants) #SynSymp2020
Requires that protected varieties be new, distinct, uniform and stable & includes exemptions for plant breeders and for farmers to save seed.

Key criticisms of intellectual property: #SynSymp2020
Moral/philosophical: life should not be patentable
Policy: society is not getting the innovation it needs (tends to focus on commodity crops)
Inequitable effects: on farmers and indigenous peoples
Types of US Intellectual property rights for plants: Plant Patent, Plant Variety Protection, Utility Protection. #SynSymp2020
Emily Spiegel from Vermont Law School giving a talk at the Synapsis Symposium titled Legal Dimensions of Bringing Back Biodiversity. Not a single slide with DNA in this talk! #SynSymp2020
It was a great pleasure to attend to prof. @plgepts talk from Portugal π΅πΉ! Congratulations to the Bringing Back Biodiversity #SynSymp2020 symposium organizers!
Fascinating talk by @plgepts on utilizing natural diversity in Phaseolus beans to improve drought tolerance, highlighting the importance of crop wild relatives! Introgressing wild beans does have challenges, but promising results already in yield during drought. #synsymp2020
What is floral fusion? Process by which previously separate floral organs attach to become a single functional unit. Fusion a key innovation that allows for diversification and specialization of form from @plantevomorph's talk at #SynSymp2020
@plantevomorph from the @SpechtLab talking about The Critical Nature of Diversity: Thinking Holistically About Plant Form and Function at the Cornell Synapsis Symposium #SynSymp2020

Yes, thank you Keo @CorakKeo for your insights into carrot breeding! π₯π₯π₯ #SynSymp2020
Pod indehiscence as a domestication trait: There are wild dehiscence beans (pods don't immediately release seeds), need heat to release. Some pods twist to fling seeds away from the main plant in some varieties. #synsymp2020
Cool figure mentioned in @plgepts talk at #SynSymp2020 highlighting the genetic and geographic the distribution of diversity in common bean from pub: Structure of genetic diversity in the two major gene pools of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L., Fabaceae)
