@LRwhisperer @schwessinger Good question- We see all the same things in willow And I fully agree about the heterophylly.

@oconnord @slcuplants @LeyserLab I has been, and will continue to be, a pleasure to have you as a colleague

@cprthorley Quality is qualitative

@calamityted @GregorGorjanc @slcuplants @PlantEvolution @ConversationUK They are different techniques, all of which introduce genetic variation. Whether or not any crop variety developed using these techniques, and any associated agronomic practices, are safe and environmentally sustainable does not depend on the technique used to develop the crop.

@calamityted @GregorGorjanc @slcuplants @PlantEvolution @ConversationUK Safe environmentally sustainable fish- explosives fail. Safe passage from place a to place b- drunk driving fails. Justice-mobs fail. Safe environmentally sustainable crops- do the tests and find out.

RT @royalsociety: Data management and use: Governance in the 21st century - our new joint report w/ @britac_news out today

@MattHutchings10 @jameswilsdon @royalsociety Which only goes to show how deeply embedded assumptions about how the REF works have become

@opentechmatt in many fields this would reduce efficiency, do nothing for reproducibility, and make worse the pressure-cooker culture

@opentechmatt Define a dice roll. Define logging.

@opentechmatt The problem is that approach to publishing, not that approach to research. Constraining the 2nd to fix the 1st is dangerous.

@opentechmatt No exploratory-confirmatory divide. Rapid experimental cycles. Diverse data types. Focus on mechanistic basis for correlations

Understanding the data can change the world for the better. Rosling's legacy - weapons in the fight against alternative facts.
