🌍 Food systems are under pressure from conflict, climate shocks, and rising costs. 🌱 It’s no longer just about how much we produce, but what we grow and how resilient it is. Discover the Alliance of Bioversity International and CIAT scientists’ take: 👉 on.cgiar.org/4tpUNC8

60–62% of commercial honeybee colonies in the US were lost between 2024 and 2025. More than 1 million bee colonies disappeared. It is one of the most severe pollinator collapse events recorded in modern agriculture. And the consequences go far beyond honey. 🧵

Of the hundreds of types of amino acids found on Earth, it’s a mystery why life settled on 20 as the building blocks for all its proteins. Although certain species can use more—some microbes employ up to 22—no one’s ever found one using fewer. But now scientists are closer to creating such an organism, after partially eliminating one of the 20 amino acids from the bacterium Escherichia coli. The research used #AI to propose alternatives to the amino acid isoleucine in dozens of proteins making up bacterial ribosomes—the protein factories of the cell. The findings offer a glimpse into how earlier, simpler life forms might have lived and suggest new ways to synthesize proteins with bespoke functions in medicine and biotechnology.

In FY 2024, the federal government spent $6.75 trillion and collected $4.92 trillion in revenue, resulting in a deficit. The amount by which spending exceeds revenue, $1.83 trillion in 2024, is referred to as deficit spending.
