Humongous honour to be involved in drafting the design and to have it presented by Lord Sainsbury! Looking forward to seeing the final print. (🤫 a chocolate coin version has even been suggested)
We are proud to announce the establishment of The Annual Roger Freedman Lecture. This lecture will be given by a distinguished international scientist and will emphasise the impact of discovery science on biotechnology and world agriculture. tsl.ac.uk/news/the-annua…
“For groundbreaking discoveries of the immune system and disease resistance in plants.”: Jeffery Dangl, Jonathan Jones, and Brian Staskawicz, Wolf Prize Laureates in Agriculture 2025, have revolutionized our understanding of plant immunity and disease resistance. Celebrate their…
Hey @ucdavis @ucanr folks in Davis - @BigPurpleTomato will be available TONIGHT!! at the Davis Farmers Market @DavisFarmMarket ! YUM Here is a picture from a tasting last year - they are delicious & my plants are growing like gangbusters in the garden and starting to set fruit🍅
Ha, just got my GMO #purpletomato seeds! Price: $20 for 10seeds. Joy of planting the most transformative ag tech of my lifetime? PRICELESS! norfolkhealthyproduce.com
The new study in @Nature represents a major stride for human genetics; findings will accelerate the development of new and better therapies for cancer and autoimmune diseases. @MarsonLab @StacieDodgson @R_Schmidt_ @carlcward @UCSF bit.ly/47SKHQl
Excited to share a milestone in our forward genetics developments! Today in @Nature we report massive mutagenesis screening in T cells with base editors, increasing resolution from genes to nucleotides nature.com/articles/s4158… A @MarsonLab story with my dear friend @carlcward 1/10
.@MarsonLab #ASH23: entire-room-gasping-with-awe data: 1. #CRISPR in T cells to map genes key to CAR-T potency 2. Amino-acid-level tiling of hits to find functional pockets. 3. Knock-in of leads for better CAR-T = 22nd century biology in 2023 for next-gen medicines.

When you find out you’re going to have a baby, you get a lot of advice. Unfortunately, most of it sucks. Here is the straight talk parenting advice I wish I had received:
NEWS: Purple GM tomatoes reach major milestone in US Norfolk Plant Sciences Ltd welcomed the decision by the USDA which should allow US home growers to purchase seeds and grow the nutritionally enhanced high-anthocyanin @BigPurpleTomato from spring '23.
We are interrupting your timeline with a breaking news on the #BigPurpleTomato🎉 The @USDA_APHIS found that the tomato is unlikely to pose an increased plant pest risk compared to other cultivated tomatoes, & has approved it for planting in the US. More:aphis.usda.gov/aphis/newsroom…
Yesterday was a historic day in plant biotech: a purple tomato engineered with high antioxidants was approved by @USDA @BigPurpleTomato helps prevent cardiovascular disease and fight cancer in humans. This approval under new regulation ushers in a new era for plant synbio!
It was great to meet with @erward, co-founder of @agbiome and advisor of @BigPurpleTomato - a rich purple tomato with increased level of anthocyanins. Check out the #BigPurpleTomato: bigpurpletomato.com
The science is clear. The #BigPurpleTomato provides a healthier alternative for all tomato lovers. bigpurpletomato.com
Soil is vital to the ecosystem because many beneficial microbes live there. Healthy soil can: 🌽 bolster crop yields 🌊 increase water retention 🛡️ prevent erosion 🌏 reduce greenhouse gas emissions 🐝 improve biodiversity 💦 protect water quality
In addition to their excellent antioxidant properties, anthocyanins have been found to double the shelf life of the #BigPurpleTomato. Read more: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
