Did you know the mass production of the birth control pill was only possible because of Mexican campesinos trading yam species with American-owned pharmaceutical companies? And did you know the entire pharmaceutical steroid industry was birthed from that development? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mexican...

A 🧵 on this fascinating 6-year study on pathway mechanisms of drought response in 🌱s. The knowledge gained from this work has important implications for developing #droughtresistance in crops as a response to the effects of #climatechange . www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Fellow plant biologists, how do you feel BlueSky compares to bigger social media platforms like Twitter or LinkedIn for promoting your work? It's definitely more intimate. Do you prefer that? If so why? #PlantScience
