Crop disease pandemics are often driven by clonal lineages of plant pathogens that reproduce asexually. How these clonal pathogens continuously adapt to their hosts despite harboring limited genetic...

It's a deliberate choice to expose those most vulnerable to a high risk pathogen in an environment they can't avoid, even if it means they die or develop long COVID. There's nothing passive about this- given how simple prevention would be. It's a choice.

People aren't just catching COVID in hospitals- they're being exposed to COVID as part of a deliberate policy choice of not taking any precautions. This is entirely a preventable issue- and it's a choice to let vulnerable people die of COVID they were exposed to in hospital.

I’m extremely grateful and excited that my #ERCStG “PANDEMIC” has been selected for funding by @ERC_Research! In this project we will design wheat immune receptors against the pandemic wheat blast fungus by turning the host’s weak spots into a defense strategy.

⚠️BREAKING NEWS 🐣 It's official, we have bee-eater chicks! The wardens have been watching closely and seen an upping of food being brought to one of the nest holes. ...But while it's great news for the birds, we can't ignore this stark reminder of our overheating planet 👇

Very excited to publish this great #openwheatblast community effort on how a clonal lineage of the #wheatblast fungus has gone #pandemic and is threatening food security at this very delicate time https://t.co/mNuKKVonmB 1/n

Super excited to share my first first-author paper from my PhD! We propose an activation-and-release mechanism for paired NLR immune receptor proteins in the NRC network. https://t.co/HjFwDzv7WZ

Dr Joe Win explained how #OpenScience can help us rapidly respond to plant diseases such as wheat blast. #OpenWheatBlast is a great example of how instantly accessible data can help solve global problems.
Excellent talks at the @NorwichResearch #ATW21 event - reinforcing the importance of working across international borders to pool thoughts, ideas & discoveries to fight climate change and achieve food security @JohnInnesCentre @TheSainsburyLab @uniofeastanglia @EarlhamInst

Study led by @MeredithNiles1 compares the impacts of climate, socioeconomic, and geographic factors on child malnourishment 🌽 Worryingly, negative impacts on child nutrition from climate could outweigh positive impacts from development in low/mid-income countries Summary (1/5)
