📢 Looking forward to my return visit to Norwich and the @…, this time to give the Dame Janet Thornton lecture on Thursday 13th.

➡️ #circadian clocks in #plantsci 🌿 and a bit on #OpenData infrastructure 💽, I'm re-using the notion of Arrival from Katherine Trebeck and Jeremy Williams' book, the #Economics of Arrival. Might this help us researchers to bridge the Knowledge-Action Gap (see below) ?

👀Great, hopeful review on one avenue to increase #crop yield 🌿🧪.
Context - we'll need 35-50% more food globally by 2050 but there are few signs that we're getting there. Yes, many issues in this space.
But photosynthesis is now one of the plant metabolic pathways where we have really good understanding, sufficient to see meaningful improvements of yield in the field, in #rice, #potato, #soybean. This is detailed in the review ➡️ #PlantSci #FoodSecurity

The splendid Napoleon Oak 🌳 in its 248th year, now on the campus of the University of Lausanne.
➡️ #UNIL researchers tested how many 🧬 mutations have accumulated over the centuries, distinguishing leaves of the oldest-diverged branches 🌿 from the top of the canopy. Research for arborists!👍
TL:DR surprisingly few.
