This issue’s Cover image highlights work by Datar et al. @UCSF @ucdavis on the generation of a large animal model of heritable pulmonary arterial hypertension.
The image features lung histopathology from a BMPR2+/- female lamb that shows arterial pathology consistent with pulmonary arterial hypertension

Good morning #WCGALP2026 looking forward to a great day of science 🧬 🤩
Opening ceremony of #WCGALP2026 in the books - weather cooperated and was a magic evening on the Monona Terrace - looking forward to a great meeting
Headed for #WCGALP2026 in Madison, Wisconsin tomorrow - we have an awesome week planned with plenaries, speaker duels, video competition, tours, bands, dueling pianos, Gala dinner & dancing - looking forward to catching up with old friends & 1st time attendees! @CritterChatter

Feeding a growing population will require science, innovation and objective data. 🗣️
The future of agriculture and a sustainable food system depends on our ability to evaluate new technologies based on evidence, weighing both their benefits and limitations. 1/ @BioBeef

When people hear GMO, the conversation often stops before it starts.
In new CLEAR Conversations ep., our host & @BioBeef unpack why public perception of genetically modified crops doesn’t always align with science & explore one example that’s had measurable impact --Bt crops. 1/

My absolute favorite day of the year is graduation day with PhD students at @ucdavis @ucdavisCAES @UCDavisGrad #GradStudies #OurUCDavis #UCDavisGrad #ClassOf2026 #Commencement I don’t envy the announcer with these two complicated last names!! 🤣Congratulations @Visionphemy
Had some delicious seedless, thornless gene 🧬edited blackberries from #pairwise in Colombia 🇨🇴 they have more compact architecture that allows higher yields - they were delicious 😋 – at Medellín, Colombia
New member joined the lab today 🤩@ucdavis 🧬🐑 – at Davis, CA
Beautuful start to #AGBTAg26 in Phoenix, AZ this morning - looking forward to women’s networking breakfast this morning 💃
The most @UCDavis photos of all time - turkeys visiting Meyer Hall 🦃

The FDA has approved the use of these gene-edited pigs for the U.S. market.
Interesting paper - the environmental footprint of Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome (PRRS) -negative pigs on North American farms is 4–6% lower than industry average, and 9–17% lower than PRRSV-positive farms (Not sure why there is cat ⬇️🐷) frontiersin.org/journals/vet…
