I posted a blog with my colleagues today, and it's about, of course, #ChatGPT (and the crucial role of making our research outputs #openaccess and #FAIRdata to make it better).

Jack and The Beanstalk was a fairytale but the fact is, beans really are magical! Mineral, @CGIAR, and @BiovIntCIAT_eng are hoping to grow better beans for the world, faster by uncovering the hidden traits within the world's largest bean collection.

It was May 2012. I don’t know the back story of this, but I just still find it comforting. I keep it on top of photo album. #WorldPhotographyDay

To support #COVID19 relief efforts at the subnational level, we constructed a subnational dataset of key risk indicators (age, gender, obesity) and potential risk hotspots for 12 low- and middle-income countries. https://t.co/Y9UZScbJlK via @tableaupublic

🔬🗺️ As more detailed data become available, we will update our risk hotspot mapping analysis accordingly. Visit @IFPRI COVID-19 Hub to learn more. https://t.co/Pn3rXGGBwb 8/8

💉🎯 Given the high level of variability in COVID-19 risk factors between urban and rural areas, we urge all LMICs to report COVID-19 cases at the subnational level and make data publicly available for targeted interventions and vaccine distributions. 7/8

🍲🚜 Protecting rural populations can avoid food supply disruptions. During the first wave in India, a lack of migrant farmworkers led to production losses, market closures, food price increases, and food insecurity among urban dwellers. https://t.co/oCLDLfE9wY 6/8

👩‍👩‍👧‍👦👨‍👨‍👧‍👦 Rural households have more elderly members (>65) than urban households. When low- and high-risk household members frequently interact, interventions become ineffective. https://t.co/mPyJ7lWk5y 5/8

🍳🥦 Increasingly, rural populations have limited access to nutritious food, leading to higher undernutrition, growing malnutrition, and more obesity. https://t.co/rYLxs5Pswq 4/8

🏥🚿 Rural areas continue to suffer from limited access to safe water for personal hygiene and healthcare facilities. Critical care facilities are largely absent or unaffordable. https://t.co/Wrgq5OuUw9 3/8

👴🤒 To our surprise, we found a higher share of rural adults with COVID-19 risk factors (being old, male, and obese) than urban adults in some countries. E.g., in #Bangladesh, 75% of rural adults are at high risk, versus 44% in urban. https://t.co/HEi4jD7VMY 2/8

As new COVID-19 infections in #India reportedly spread more to rural areas, we revisited our recent study showing why new hotspots might emerge in the rural areas. https://t.co/rMAzqQyyD4 🧵👇 1/8

In a 🆕 @IFPRI blog @jawoo @ClaudiaRingler @anighosh85 & Carlo Azzarri discuss their research on the heightened risks of #COVID19 🦠 for rural populations. Risk is particularly high in rural #Bangladesh #Honduras & #Nepal. 👉 https://t.co/PedGdwPCTf @FeedtheFuture @CGIARclimate

Good luck, Rui and the team! @RuiBenfica4

New #EPTD research in Agricultural Economics suggests raising #SSA farmer adoption of #fertilizer and improved #seeds by introducing improved seeds first, as fertilizer helps sustain their productivity benefits. @ifpri @jawoo https://t.co/17M14dEd3K
