First day at CIMMYT as their new Chief Engagement Officer! They’re building farms of the future with smallholder farmers across the global south (to the benefit of US agriculture, too). Delighted to join this global food security group, with their hands-on approach to cutting edge science.

Vanilla comes from this orchid. Hard to grow, labor intensive to harvest, needs heat & humidity. Madagascar is the major world producer, also has graphite & nickel reserves, very low income country nonetheless. ⬆️47% US tariff

Deepest condolences to the people of #Japan on the #Tohoku anniversary. Been in a 6.5 magnitude earthquake & can’t even imagine what a 9.1 would feel like, plus the nuclear reverberations were another deep trauma. This photo is the town of #Fukushima only 5 years later — amazing resilience

3/11 is the anniversary of the Tohoku Earthquake in Japan. The 9.1 temblor generated a massive tsunami & nuclear disaster, with almost 20K dead. The photo is radioactive dirt with an astroturf cover, 5 years later in Fukushima
