The opportunity to work with Dr. Danforth and other community leaders in creating the @DanforthCenter was a turning point in my career early on. Science must be of service, and we've all got to step up now!
Today we mourn the passing of William H. Danforth, M.D., Founding Chairman of the Donald Danforth Plant Science Center, and send our deepest condolences to the Danforth family for their loss. Amidst our sense of loss we reflect on his amazing legacy that touched countless people.
Enjoyed the story and the images painting a complex but compelling picture of how the needs of agriculture, housing and the environment play off each other. Long read, but really worth it.

@Biosafety_SA OH my goodness I miss all of you too!!! Here at home in Florida we have a tropical storm threatening to turn into a hurricane on us, so there are LOTS of reasons I'd rather be with you all! #GoAwayDorian
I'm looking forward to studying this new effort to answer questions and address concerns about agriculture technology. Curious if it's a much different approach than @royalsociety and others... Nice video anyway! #scicomm#geneticmodification#GMOs
We've been modifying the genes of plants and animals for centuries with conventional breeding methods—what's different about modern #GeneticModification?
Every year I love scanning all the new faces joining the @ScienceAlly fellows program --such energy, light and passion -- and these particular twinkling eyes I happen to know personally! Congratulations @ayiegarcia - I can't wait to see what you do next! #GLFP2019
