Amazing TIR1/AFB auxin receptors generate not only cAMP but also cGMP as second messenger for rapid responses.
Congrats to fantastic work of Linlin and others.

@lexfridman Hi Lex - love what you do. I would recommend Ali Abu Awwad, he is on the side of love - nonviolence, he runs some incredible programs, like introducing pre-military Israelis to Palestinians. https://t.co/7MQMikbF9T

This mind-blowing research in @Nature shows that machine learning can effectively guide enzyme optimization and help create enzymes that degrade all kinds of plastic waste in record time 🤯https://t.co/uGXX98EfKO

Last year we presented #AlphaFold v2 which predicts 3D structures of proteins down to atomic accuracy. Today we’re proud to share the methods in @Nature w/open source code. Excited to see the research this enables. More very soon!

When solving problems, humans tend to think about adding something before they think of taking something away — even when subtracting is the better solution. https://t.co/e1n7Nd6JSz

Dear Friends, my new piece in @guardian on regulating #SurveillanceCapitalism responds to Facebook's Nick Clegg and related bamboozlement. How to regulate for the 21st century? Here's a start: https://t.co/2hV8uYf7TM
Mr. Clegg, be careful what you wish for.

farmers will find a way, harnessing the organic spread of agricultural know-how is part of improving rural ag practices https://t.co/wJEG5qord9

In Maharashtra, 12 Farmers Arrested For Sowing GM Cotton Seeds https://t.co/Pikc1Fs1fv via @thewire_in

@Devinder_Sharma cities and farmers both need comprehensive water management and recapture otherwise this happens

[Be the change you want to be @AgBioWorld]

Asked if he is not afraid of government action, an Indian farmer says “When I was sowing legally available Bt cotton seeds, I was getting only 2 quintal to 3 quintals of cotton per acre. Last year, I got 15 quintal/ acre production from illegal Bt seeds.” https://t.co/eW3ZJLtQtC

@Devinder_Sharma blaming anyone is pointless, what's needed is good governance and increased personal responsibility from all. whats the thesis of your article?

[Devinder Sharma @Devinder_Sharma]

A cluster of 200 villages take to natural farming and ban use of chemicals. That's the future. Such entrepreneuring farmers need to be accorded support like the way StartUps are being showered with. https://t.co/ZMm3wpte1I
