Everything coming up periwinkle @MITOpenAg 😍 why research periwinkle? It’s recognized by the @WHO as an essential cancer therapy drug and if we can use #cea #foodservers + climate optimization we could expand availability and affordability to more people🌍 https://t.co/tYoAKfoisi

Upgrades happening @MITOpenAg 1. New prototype boards! - top is old #pfcedu and bottom is new one — smaller form factor, more integrated components, led status indicators, hard reset switch for WiFi, now using @MyRasberrypi, more sensors! 2. Our chassis 42 piece down to 32!

In 2015 we built a new prototype & rather than scrap it we #shared it w/ @MITEFMexico who took it and ran!That’s what we do - spread #seedsofchange - but don’t take our word for it check out this #throwback video (in Spanish) from https://t.co/hyu8d2Ir4a
