Starmer wrote in the Express that he is against restoring Freedom of Movement.

Please retweet if you want our Freedom of Movement restored.

We were robbed of our right to live, work, study, and love in 30 countries by the worst abuses of democracy in modern British history.

Risk and safety considerations of genome edited crops: Expert opinion It should come as no surprise that innovation is linked to uncertainty, especially when its effects are wide-ranging and can be difficult to quantify,…

Most experts agree that genome-edited crops pose few risks to society, the economy, human health, and the environment

I support Davey's project to return the UK to the CU. It's a big breach in the establishment wall around Brexit. But it's the SM which is far more important to our trade. I suspect Davey has steered clear of that because of FoM. If so, that's disappointing.

We should have a referendum on FoM.

There’s a small proportion of the population that are anti-immigration & will back Brexit to the end. It’s infuriating that Starmer still panders to them. They’re already Reform. For the sake of the economy,why can’t he back SM & CU re-entry? Labour are petrified of Brexit,fumbling along. Shameful 🤷🏻‍♂️

I've created some very useful lists

- Defending Democracy
- Rejoin EU
- Ukraine and Georgia.

Lists can be pinned to one's home page (see below). Also, via the Feeds page, you can get to see the people in a list, which is very useful for finding people to follow.

If you want to be rid of the awful Brexit, Like.

If you really want it gone, right now, RP.

Scientists Discover Genetic Blueprint That Could Produce More Resilient Crops - MITechNews SAN DIEGO, CA. - To harness the power of the sun and make sugars for energy storage, plants use photosynthesis. But some plants are more efficient at it than others. For the first time, researchers ha...

For the first time, researchers have identified a key step in the transformation between old-fashioned C3 photosynthesis and new and improved C4 photosynthesis — which could lead to the development of more efficient, more resilient “super crops,”

New preprint! I always wondered: How much diversity do pathogens have within a single field? This important to assess the risk of resistance breakdown or spread of fungicide resistance . Together with colleagues from BASF we looked into this.

While animal movements are largely regulated through electrical signals and muscle contractions, plant movements are controlled primarily through hormone signaling, changes in turgor pressure, and cell wall loosening.

Plant growth behavior operates on another timescale🌱⌛️

In one year, I genetically engineered the boring Arabidopsis into a beautiful ornamental flower 🧬🌹

Here is how and why I gave this model organism a visual upgrade 🧵(1/7)

Idealistic painting of Nature.

"Nature knows best" and "Crop production should function like Nature" are enticing ideas, but there is no evidence they work as consistent strategies.
A better strategy: test everything, keep what is useful.
