We are all Roger. This is a despicable attack on the very essence of what academic science is about. Reason. Humanity. International collaboration.

Die DFG begrüßt die vorläufige Vereinbarung der EU zu einem neuen Rechtsrahmen für Pflanzen, die mit neuen #Züchtungstechniken (New Genomic Techniques, NGT) hergestellt werden. DFG und #Leopoldina setzen sich seit Jahren für diese Einstufung von NGT-1-Pflanzen ein. Einzelheiten: ➡️ sohub.io/nuy0
Zitat von DFG-Präsidentin Katja Becker:
"Der in den Verhandlungen erzielte politische Durchbruch stärkt den Forschungsstandort Europa und eröffnet neue Wege für eine klimaresiliente und ressourcenschonende Landwirtschaft. Wichtig ist nun, dass die neuen Regelungen auch zügig im EU-Parlament und 
im EU-Rat bestätigt und in allen Mitgliedstaaten umgesetzt werden."

Hungary 1956 'Well over a 100k people fled the country seeking asylum. Among them was a young geneticist named George Rédei, who headed for the Austrian border with a small vial of seeds tucked in his pocket. The seeds belonged to a spindly weed in the mustard family called Arabidopsis thaliana.'

How a humble weed became a superstar of biology
Arabidopsis thaliana was always an unlikely candidate for the limelight. But 25 years ago, the diminutive thale cress launched the botanical world into the molecular era.

Jane Goodall, from a March 2020 Paste Magazine interview: www.pastemagazine.com/article/jane...
screenshot of text:

Do remember to tell people, when you write your article, that the most important message today is that every single day, each one of us lives, we make some impact on the planet, and we can choose what sort of impact we make; what we buy, what we wear, where does it come from? Did it harm the environment when it was made? Did it lead to cruelty to animals like terrible factory farms? Is it cheap because of child slave labor? If we start making ethical choices every day, millions and billions of us, we move towards a better world and a world of citizens who will push governments to make the ethical decisions themselves.

Wie Paris durch seine Verkehrspolitik, die Feinstaub- und NO2-Belastung v.a. seit Amtsantritt von Anne Hidalgo ab 2014 verringern und so zehntausenden Menschen ein längeres Leben schenken konnte, ist eine so krasse Erfolgsgeschichte, die gar nicht oft genug erzählt werden kann❤️

This is a room where we turn very modest salaries and budgets (and lots of coffee) into new knowledge, life-saving innovations, and technology that feeds business growth. It's literally the loom that spins hay into gold but these numpties are suddenly worried about the cost of hay.
A research lab from Northwestern, chosen because it's generic and sort of zoomed out.  Three scientists are visible in lab coats, and there are benches and shelving, with glass along one wall showing another high-rise building nearby. Overhead fluorescents provide light.
