@jrossibarra I'm surprised B. simaruba does not. There's been interest in the Burseras from different fields but I haven't found multiple whole genomes in any one species.

@ATinyGreenCell But the interspecific hybridization options in Brassicaceae are pretty fun! Could get mustard spicy genes the old school way.

Hi! 👋 I'm an R&D plant scientist at a vertical farming company. While I don't pretend to have all the answers about vertical farming, I can promise that we do *real science* and discover cool and valuable things about plants and horticulture.

There's both a knit and crochet version, if you don't mind making them yourself.

@em_bellis @avalo_ai Congrats! They do some cool stuff there!

@DavidBLowry Grads who end up in industry and those who end up in academia could benefit from some explicit training in project management. In my experience, grad school teaches these skills very indirectly, as in "these benchmarks look good on a grant application".

@shiranbenzeev Arguably, you could do hydroponics without CEA, but I don't know of any examples at the commercial scale and I'm not sure what the benefit would be.

[Victoria DeLeo @victorialdeleo]

@shiranbenzeev Economics: the energy and capex costs make CEA grain uncompetitive with field grown. For example, see https://t.co/X0ibVvJjFI

@kheyduk Did it start out like this?

[Victoria DeLeo @victorialdeleo]

@Lua_Science Congrats!

[Victoria DeLeo @victorialdeleo]

@JessElek @OpenAcademics No and it's not unheard of for graduate programs to take extra time to process your first stipend payment, so in the worst case scenario you might want to have saved up living expenses for that first month.

@akshatsharma Interpreting the figures I made to me. Especially bad when the point they're making is one I explained to them the week before or wrote out explicitly on the slide I'm presenting.
