It's #TruthTuesday again, and you know what that means: It's time to bust some myths about #cotton. We previously posted a long thread to show that cotton — despite its reputation — is not a thirsty crop (tinyurl.com/3xf3pff5). Let's put that in perspective.

World Cotton Day is coming! With less than one month to go, the ICAC and its partners encourage everyone to make plans to celebrate the world's most important natural fibre on 7 October 2023. And we can help you put an event together — it does not have to be expensive or complex!

Mark Your Calendars! ICAC to Hold 81st Plenary Meeting in Mumbai, 2-5 December 2023 It's been too long since we got together with friends and colleagues in person so the Secretariat is thrilled to announce the dates and location of the first in-person Plenary Meeting since 2019.

VACANCY AT THE INTERNATIONAL COTTON ADVISORY COMMITTEE: Executive Director The ICAC is searching for a new Executive Director to lead the organisation forward, provide leadership and encourage innovation and excellence from all members of the Secretariat.

New Edition of ICAC Recorder Offers Summaries of World Cotton Research Conference Presentations If you are a cotton scientist who wasn’t fortunate enough to be able to attend the seventh World Cotton Research Conference in Egypt last year, the ICAC and ICRA can help!

The New ICAC Data Portal: The Difference Between Text and Context With its new Data Portal, the ICAC has seized a leadership position in the new field of ‘data storytelling’: the ability to effectively communicate insights from a dataset using narratives and visualisation.

There are only 19 days left until World Cotton Day on 7 October, but that's plenty of time to post good content about cotton and win some of the $6,000 the ICAC is giving away to commemorate it. The rules can be found here: tinyurl.com/yc75mwxv

You can still get a piece of the $6,000 the ICAC is giving out for #worldcottonday! There are four Twitter contests and more than three weeks to rack up some points. If you post the most popular tweet about cotton between today and 6 October, you could be pocketing a cool $1000!
