Awesome news today -- @sunyesf scientists are de-extincting lost American trees!

@USDA just approved a genetically modified version of one of the great American trees, the American Chestnut, that went effectively extinct due to an Asian fungal blight introduced in 1904 that killed 3-4 BILLION trees (some 120 feet tall) by 1950.

By adding in one gene from wheat to the American Chestnut genome, conservation scientists at @sunyesf have shown they can make the American Chestnut resistant to the fungal blight and revive and bring back this American classic.

Let's finish this approval by @EPA and get these planted so our kids can visit these forests!!!

This was the first thing I ever read by Wendell Berry, and it remains among my favorite poems.

The Cape Cod Baseball League is drying up. The new college baseball landscape is killing one of the purest forms of baseball this country has ever had to offer. Over 100 years of tradition, ravaged by dollars and cents.

What now? Is there a way forward?

There’s nothing more perfect than a baseball field. Skip Bertman explains it better than anyone else will.

Rest in peace, coach

Does it seem a bit ironic that MLB’s Field of Dreams game—which harkens back to a simpler, more bucolic time—is being streamed on Netflix?
