@AsahiLinux HDMI now works out of the box on Asahi Linux on MacBookPro M2! Thank you so much guys!
Where can I donate to support your work?
Here's a great opportunity to test the advantages of novel crop breeding methods!
If you use NBTs on a crop 🌾🌱 that is also grown in Switzerland, get in touch with me. We are looking for collaborations and some examples of crops for field trials at our Agroscope protected site.
It's a unique chance! Let's make it a success for a more sustainable agriculture 🚜 with more delicious produce 😋.

⚡️I am appalled by anti GMO organizations ⚡️
A communications guy from one said:
- It's OK to lie, it's for a good cause
- It's OK when right extremists support us, we have common values: "pure races" 😱
- It's OK when journalists invent fake positive stories about us
I am shocked!
Shocked but not surprised.
Climate change will hit Europe the hardest. Europe needs a scientific approach to food security. Banning chemicals and modern technologies will have catastrophic consequences.
Second to climate change, the biggest threat to EU agriculture is the science-denying "organic" sector.

Journals must provide free full access to all cited papers in a manuscript that reviewers have to evaluate.
Why isn't that obvious?

Looking for active transposable elements in the wheat genome is now totally possible 😎 🤘

Quite ironically, the least scientific process in academia is the process of hiring professors...
16.9.2023 11:49Quite ironically, the least scientific process in academia is the process of hiring professors...Europe is now the fastest warming continent in the world. 🥵 This will have drastic impacts on agriculture 🌾 🚜 . We need novel crop breeding methods asap! 🧬

It is a great honor for me to be able to give a presentation at the Gamow conference in Odesa, Ukraine 🇺🇦
https://gamow.odessa.ua/
I am impressed by the courage Ukrainians show to continue science even under these most difficult conditions. I hope I can visit Odesa in person soon.
Concerning the European Curt of Justice decision on #GMOs this is what it was about (see graph).
Yeah, because the glass makes all the difference you know! At least the Curt has stipulated that no. So basically nothing changes.
Here's a nice proof that we as scientists can reach out and convince people about the usefulness of novel crop breeding methods!
After my interview by a major Swiss TV station (10vor10), over 63% of the people on Twitter voted for the removal of the GMO moratorium in 🇨🇭 ! 👏 🌾

19.1.2023 01:37Seems like a really interesting conference!“Epigenetics of temperature and light responses in plants” - EPI-CATCH Activities...The last keynote presentation of the day at #pag30 was a perfect example of how NOT to give a talk:
No structure
No information on the organism studied
Random rumbling on how resurrected Mastodons may reduce CO2 levels
No take home message whatsoever for the next generation of researchers.
It‘s a missed opportunity to build a true legacy.
#pag30 is not only flooded by scientists but maybe soon also literally!

Just submitted my last paper review of the year 😅
Now it's time for some well-deserved holidays!
