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!

Wow. Kenya is planting trees with seed balls covered in charcoal dust to keep animals from eating them and to fight #climatechange and combat #deforestation.
We have the solutions, implement them. #ActOnClimate.

Chemist & X-ray crystallographer Rosalind Franklin used X-ray diffraction to reveal the inner structures of complex minerals & living tissues - including, DNA. Had she not died in 1958, it is widely believed she would have shared the 1982 Nobel Prize in Chemistry with Aaron Klug.
Science Club is back!! @ONEKCI Happy to report that all students successfully ‘escaped the lab’! #KCIScience #ScienceIsForEveryone
