What if children could be screened for juvenile idiopathic #arthritis risk years before the disease appears? @UF_MCS and @liu_universitet researchers hope their new study could lead to such a test.

So cool to see this research from @UF_Space_Plants featured in @DiscoverMag!

[Discover Magazine @DiscoverMag]

🌱🌕 Scientists have successfully grown plants in moon soil for the first time at @UF_Space_Plants! Although stunted & stressed, these plants adapted & survived, offering insights for future space agriculture 🌾🔬 #SpaceAgriculture #MarsMission 🛰️🌌 https://t.co/r4iFc04QaZ

A-maizing study!

Thousands of years ago, #corn looked nothing like it does today. 🌽

New research from @ufhorticulture professor, @KochLabUF, helps explain its dramatic transformation ➡️ https://t.co/4hDg88PCPF

It's decidedly iced tea temps here in Florida, which is perfect because today is #IcedTeaDay! Soon, that refreshing glass could be steeped from Florida-grown leaves. Take a sip on what @ufhorticulture @UFPlantPath researchers learned over two years: https://t.co/XYUfkA0H5r.

Writing this story was an honor and privilege of a lifetime, not to mention an incredibly emotionally uplifting science writing experience. I cant wait to see where this research will take us.

Plants may have sprouted quickly in lunar soil, but getting to that moment was more than a decade in the making. Read a lot more about this groundbreaking research in the latest @UFExplore.

A BIG first for plants in space @NASA. Scientists @UF grow plants in soil from the Moon. Growing plants in #Apollo moon dust is a giant leap forward. Read One Small Sprout from @UF_IFAS in Explore. https://t.co/npgyEBNTxc

🌱 Like plants? Good. Like plants grown in lunar soil? Scientists just did that.

Ask @UF and @NASAMoon experts about their groundbreaking experiment, and what it means for future astronauts. https://t.co/0UGzCTvoo7

Fry test was a success! 🥔

After our first harvest we selected sub-plots from our bed and chose potatoes from each sub-plot for frying. These are of the Atlantic variety and produced some tasty and beautiful chips!

Fantastic @scifri segment with Lindsey Reisinger and @AJReisinger, two @UF_IFAS researchers in @SFFGS_UF and @SoilWaterSci.

[Science Friday @scifri]

A new study shows that crayfish exposed to a common antidepressant, Celexa, make them bolder.

On #SciFriLive📻, researchers Lindsey Reisinger and @AJReisinger discuss their findings and share what crayfish can tell us about drugs in our waterways.

@alissonclark @AlexaLim22 So thrilled to have played a role! Can't wait to tune in.

[University of Florida News @UFNews]

When @UF_IFAS researchers Lindsey and @AJReisinger looked at how antidepressants in fresh water affected crayfish, they found bolder behavior that could make crayfish more vulnerable to predators, with potential impacts to the ecosystem. https://t.co/EJWH9H8vtQ
