Reposting this pic of my father in law on a hiboy interseeder planting #covercrops into #notill corn circa 1965 because its #WorldSoilDay. #soilhealth was "in" on our farm long before it was ever "a thing" #worldsoilday2019

@TheMDTA So they bottle necked us down to one lane taking 30 min to go 1 mile, and 3 green arrows all lanes open on the bridge. … 🤷‍♀️

BRIDGE💨STATUS: Bay Bridge PHASE 3 Full Wind Restrictions in effect. Winds Exceeding 50 MPH. WIND POLICY: go.usa.gov/xP6ua.

@TheMDTA PTL need to make my flight!

UPDATE: Bay Bridge: Weather Closure; QA Co US 50 W PAST EXIT 37 - MD 8 BUSINESS PKWY (WB);2 LEFT LNS CLOSED

@TheMDTA Also why is there east bound traffic flowing if the lanes are closed?

@TheMDTA Is there anyway the text message blast that we get for weather can be done for bridge closures? That way those of us trying to make a flight know ahead of time to go around and not across the Bay

BRIDGE💨STATUS: Bay Bridge PHASE 4 Traffic Hold/Bridge Closure in effect. Winds Exceeding 55 MPH. WIND POLICY: go.usa.gov/xP6ua.

BREAKING: WATCH the full 60 Minutes CECOT segment here. This was sent to me anonymously. It appears to be the segment CBS' Bari Weiss killed. muellershewrote.com/p/watch-the-60…

The debate over ultra-processed foods is "absolutely" overblown and "ridiculous," epidemiologist Gideon Meyerowitz-Katz said. "Most of what we measure when we talk about ultra-processed food is not the processing steps. It's not the number of steps it takes to go from field to plate," he told PBS News' @GeoffRBennett. "Instead, we measure sort of these vague concepts of how many ingredients a food has, how many things that you don't keep in your kitchen. But that's not what processing is." "What we call ultra-processed foods today are mostly what my mum would refer to as 'junk food' in the ’90s," he later added. Meyerowitz-Katz, creator of the "Health Nerd" blog, spoke to Geoff Bennett for PBS News' podcast, "Settle In." to.pbs.org/3MydeVQ

This is the full 60 Minutes segment on CECOT Bari Weiss and CBS News didn't want you to see.

Have you heard that U.S. crop yields are declining and our food supply is in danger from climate change? Good news: yields for staple crops like corn, wheat, soybeans, and potatoes are still increasing and show no signs of slowing down. thebreakthrough.org/issues/food-ag…

This would be funny if it wasn’t so pathetic

@KCKlatt Love UT! My daughter graduated from there (not nutrition). But she works at @CorpImmLawFirm if you need help with work papers 😀

Really excited to announce that I've accepted an Assistant Professor position in the Department of Nutritional Sciences in the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Toronto! Very excited to venture north (🥶) & build out my own research group in human nutrition &metabolism 🥳

3/ The Consequences Lysenko’s policies outlawed genetics. Scientists who opposed him were jailed or executed. Agriculture collapsed, contributing to famine. Millions starved.

Alt headline: processed meat producers to reformulate to appease MAHA, remove none of the ingredients implicated in chronic disease risk.

Bots aren’t just noise. They’re the engine of disinformation. Analysis of 1.269M accounts on X. Result? 64% look like bots. That means most of what you see in your feed… …isn’t real people talking. So how do bots push disinformation?🧵1/

@KCKlatt #truth

The anger folks feel towards the CDC about nutrition/obesity is wildly misplaced - the CDC has limited federal powers to do much of anything beyond making recs. There have been institutional failures to take obesity and nutrition-related chronic disease. You need only look to many of the same social and political actors now pretending to care about MAHA who mocked Bloomberg and Michelle Obama a decade ago to identify who to point fingers at. Those same actors are still putting on political theatre in lieu of any serious look at how to change the food environment.

Plants can't just "grow" - they have to fight for it. Sunlight, water, nutrients - pests want them, too. Meet the wine grape farmer AND dietitian who explains why protecting her vines is the only way to help them turn sunshine into a glass of wine worth drinking. 🍷☀️ #WomenFarmers #FarmFacts #WineDYK

@ToorUMD Congrats!

Profoundly humbled and deeply honored to be named a Fellow of the American Society of Agronomy (ASA). My gratitude extends to my nominator and esteemed colleagues for supporting the nomination. Also, check out a new article of our work in the Bay Journal! enst.umd.edu/news/years-ens…

Drone spraying the vineyard for downy mildew. Think it does a good job with a canopy spray. Not convinced it would get good coverage on the fruit zone.
