Geco Engineering is developing innovative software for early identification of herbicide-resistant weed patches, helping to target management before they become widespread across the field.

What’s the benefit of nipping herbicide resistance in the bud? It may make the difference between a clean field versus a field full of weeds. Geco Engineering is developing a data-driven technique for early detection of resistant superweeds in farm fields. (1/6) 🧵

In grade 10 my career test predicted I'd either be a professional athlete or a professional map maker. I'm still not in the pros but I just made a decent map in ggplot so I guess that settles things.

Mental health is one of the greatest challenges many graduate students face, and therapy can be a huge help (it was for me!). Some take-aways from one student's experiences navigating mental health resources at Stanford: mordecailab.com/blog/2022/3/…

I can't explain what a huge deal this is!! After ~5 years of work, @sse_evolution, @ASNAmNat, and @systbiol have created a legally robust code of ethics applying to behavior outside of conferences. This code is open for community comment til March 7. Why is this important? 1/n

Still no solid evidence that Omicron is innately less severe than other variants, but I now make this the second plausible mechanism through which it *could* be less severe
Gupta Lab (@GuptaR_lab) profile pictureGupta Lab@GuptaR_lab17 Dec 2021
Replying to @GuptaR_lab
3. What does this all mean? Efficient infection of lung cells could correlate with severity of lung disease. Syncitia or fused cells are often seen in respiratory tissues taken following severe disease. Delta was very good at both, in contrast to Omicron. Further work is needed

🚨Well, I wrote about Omicron--what we know & what it means. I feel the core problem is unchanged: The variant poses a much greater threat at the societal level than the individual one, making it the kind of problem the US has consistently flubbed. 1/ theatlantic.com/health/archi…
America Is Not Ready for Omicron

America Is Not Ready for Omicron

The new variant poses a far graver threat at the collective level than the individual one—the kind of test that the U.S. has repeatedly failed.
