Soil bio-products - inoculants, biostimulants, biofertilizers - are risky; risky because these products often fail, are inconsistent, or have benefits<cost. When you use a bio-product, you are looking for the exception. More here: csanr.wsu.edu/soil-bio-produ…

Excellent talk that concluded with this important message: 'There is no room for dogma in science'. Agricultural scientists need to keep this in mind...especially those of us who work in organic agriculture.

Thanks for this excellent video on an important topic, first-person pronouns in science writing. It's 1 of more than 50 helpful videos by @scivideographer to improve your science writing available here. Great resource for new & experienced science writers. youtube.com/playlist?list=…

Should You Use First-Person Pronouns in Scientific Writing?
Most scientific published studies have “positive results.” But what about the papers with negative results? Dr. Sarahanne Field, editor of @jtrialerror, joins us to discuss how failure can make science stronger. sciencefriday.com/segments/journ…
Social media has become an important contributor to our #YouthMentalHealth crisis. We are in the middle of an emergency, and it’s essential that Congress act with speed and urgency. The health and well-being of our kids is at stake. Read more: nytimes.com/2024/06/17/opi… 2/2
#PNAS “I” versus “the author”: The power of first-person voice when writing about science pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn… "I remember the moment when I began losing faith in the editorial fairness of peer-reviewed science literature. It happened as I struggled to publish a paper."
Opinion piece: Can writing #ResearchPapers in the first person make them not only easier to read and understand, but also more impactful? In PNAS Front Matter: ow.ly/RHKu50S2Bzy #SciComm #ScienceCommunication #WritingStyle
This PNAS opinion piece may be of interest to those writing up a thesis or a manuscript for publication. The use of “I” versus “the author” is debated and gives food for thought. #WordsMatter @ReproductionSRB pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…
I 💯 agree with @EBrennanScience re 'The power of first-person voice when writing about science' pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…
Absolutely this! The easier it is to read a scientific paper, the better it will be for its understanding. I've even been told not to write "we did..." as it's "not scientific." I ignore that advice. "Scientific style" must stop meaning unnecessarily complicated and stilted.
Excited to share my paper “I” versus “the author”: The power of first-person voice when writing about science. Let's embrace first-person pronouns & move beyond outdated notions that those powerful, short, gender-neutral, easy-to-read words are inappropriate in science writing

Opinion piece: Bucking convention by writing #ResearchPapers in the first person can make them easier to read and understand, as well as more concise, impactful, and accessible. In PNAS Front Matter: ow.ly/Hm2v50RUcrM #SciComm #WritingStyle

Good morning sunflower in rye. It’s time to get to work. Got to beat the rain.
Enjoyed attending the official opening of our new research center. It's great that it was named after fellow #RPCV Rep. Sam Farr who started his decades of public service as a @PeaceCorps volunteer. I appreciate his efforts to support sustainable agricultural research here.
ARS celebrated newly constructed Sam Farr United States Crop Improvement and Protection Research Center in Salinas, CA. The center features state-of-the-art labs & greenhouses & the capacity for additional scientists to work on fruit and vegetable research bit.ly/3sk149a
