Three days of engaging Plant Synthetic Biology discussions from sunrise to sunset. More avenues are needed to connect academic researchers, industry and government representatives and to support multidisciplinary efforts that bring new ideas and products to market.
🙏 NSF for supporting @uf-ifas.bsky.social / UF Horticultural Sciences' trailblazing workshop 'How SynBio can *realistically* impact crop improvement & agriculture'! We brought🌱 SynBio ECRs together w/ top ag biotech & crop breeding experts to identify disconnects btwn their worlds & how to fix them⬇️

Billy McFarland’s first Fyre Fest was a disaster that landed him in prison for fraud and left him with $26 million in debts. This time, he says, it “has to work.”
