@AsimovPress @ATinyGreenCell Super cool home-setup!

@Saqlain2596 @sarafarrona Very interesting and thorough!

Way more versatile than CRISPR! Would it work on plants?? 🪴🪴🧬🧬

[Patrick Hsu @pdhsu]

What if we could universally recombine, insert, delete, or invert any two pieces of DNA?

In back-to-back @Nature papers, we report the discovery of bridge RNAs and 3 atomic structures of the first natural RNA-guided recombinase - a new mechanism for programmable genome design

Genome synthesis of plants is starting... 🧌🌿

🌱 Boosting photosynthesis efficiency is nice, but it’s cooler when done by overexpressing endogenous photosynthesis genes with CRISPR! No transgenes!🔬✨#GeneEditing #CRISPR #PlantBiotech

Che profonda tristezza. Se la colpa fosse solo dell'ignoranza... Organizzazioni come Greenpeace fanno profitto su queste false idee ecologiste e ostacolano il vero progresso!

I've never heard of oceanic plantations before, but growing crops on the sea is one of the coolest innovations in agriculture I've come across! 🌊🌱 #Agriculture #Innovation #PlantHealth

[ALORA @alora_wave]

Let’s talk about Plant Health!
Alora's technology involves developing salt-resistant plants, an agricultural method that offers incredible advantages over traditional crop farming. Many pests that affect crops on land cannot reach the oceanic plantation🌊.

Exciting advancements in synthetic gene drives! 🌱✨ Scientists engineer gene drives in Arabidopsis, a huge potential to control weeds and save endangered species. 🌍🔬 Regulations are going to be super tough for introducing them in natural ecosystems though... 😅 #PlantScience

I've never seen Tulip and Turing in the same sentence before. While the math is complex, the viruses create stunning mathematical patterns that are beautiful even without understanding them. Congrats to the authors for capturing the elegance of both math and flowers! #VirusArt

Great connecting with passionate people at SusHi Tech Tokyo! 🌟 Exciting startups like algae making rainbows @algalbio and flies turning waste into protein @entomal Loved learning about Japan's startup scene. Can’t wait for next year!

#SusHiTech_eSG #Innovation #Startups

[Lorenzo Pellegrini, PhD @LorePlantTech]

Thrilled to attend @SusHiTech_eSG! 🚀 Excited for discussions on future cities, AI-driven learning, sustainable finance, and more. 🌱 With 400+ cutting-edge startups, I'm hoping to see some breakthroughs in plant biotechnology too! 🌿 #Innovation #Tech #Sustainability #Tokyo

@noahei1015 Very interesting article and honourable company mission! In your experience so far what are the unexpected challenges of speedbreeding strawberries?

[Lorenzo Pellegrini, PhD @LorePlantTech]

@HMRCcustomers Thank you Tom, you've been very helpful. Just to be clear, you mean sending a letter from Japan by post to HMRC?

[Lorenzo Pellegrini, PhD @LorePlantTech]

@HMRCcustomers I received a 'repayment of income tax 2022-2023' cheque, however I am now overseas and cannot cash it in. I see that the best way is to nominate someone in the UK to cash in the cheque. How can I proceed with that? Or is there a better way to cash it in?

[Lorenzo Pellegrini, PhD @LorePlantTech]

@HMRCcustomers Yes I did but they don't accept cheques unfortunately

[Lorenzo Pellegrini, PhD @LorePlantTech]

@HMRCcustomers Revolut

[Lorenzo Pellegrini, PhD @LorePlantTech]

@HMRCcustomers Hi Tom, thanks for your reply. I do have a UK bank account, is it possible to deposit the repayment of the income tax there?
