How to choose a "good tester" in testcrosses? 🎯🌾 ✓ Accuracy jumps most from 1 to 2 testers, though "noise" depends on dominance and pool structure. Next: Pareto framework to pick testers balancing GCA and complementarity! 🚀 Thanks to Daniel Tolhurst, @gregorgorjanc.bsky.social , Sven Weber and BASF!

Dr. Wangari Maathai founded the Green Belt Movement in 1977. #WorldNGODay An environmental #conservation org using tree planting (51 million so far!) as an entry point to address issues like poverty, climate change & community empowerment, particularly for women/rural groups. #WomenInSTEM #ecosky
Wangari Maathai (1940–2011), the pioneering Kenyan environmental activist, founder of the Green Belt Movement in 1977, and the first African woman to receive the Nobel Peace Prize in 2004 for her work in sustainable development, democracy, and environmental conservation; through the movement, she empowered women to plant millions of trees to combat deforestation, soil erosion, and poverty while promoting community-led conservation across Africa.

Split image, to the left is a color photograph shows her on the left, smiling warmly outdoors in a lush green setting, bending slightly; she wears a patterned brown and white dress with a matching headwrap, standing amid foliage and trees. On the right is the Green Belt Movement logo: a stylized outline of the African continent in tan with a prominent green acacia tree silhouette, accompanied by the text "the green belt movement" in green lettering above it. #environment #ClimateSky #Reforestation 🌱 🌳

Dear funding agencies, I know we all want to discover the wonder drug that will cure the horrible diseases, but to do that, we need to invest in basic, unsexy, foundational research on how the systems work. Funding can’t all be drug development. Sincerely, Looking for basic research grants.

Jane opened up my eyes to a lot as a kid - she was a female scientist and she was known for devoting her life to it. not to her family or children, but to her passion. i remember thinking that was so cool and it was probably the first time I realized women can be known in that way.
