for those that wonder, the empty space is where the males were. They are killed immediately after they do their job. Here is a photo of the open field. Very dry conditions...with male stubble.

had a great day out in Central Oregon talking to Growers and other stakeholders. Then I checked in on one of our agrivoltaics experiments over a carrot seed field. Visual improvements in vigor, will have to wait for yield samples to confirm.

How far into the future do you project technological, social, economic, political progress/change when planning research?

well, I was told the construction would start in earnest today, but it looks like it will be tomorrow. Cant wait to share pictures of the new agrivoltaics research facility getting built.

@n_g_laskowski no one ever told me the odds were long. But, that was a prototypical 1st gen issue. When I can to this conclusion myself (during my phd) I just realized that academics was a single path amongst many viable paths. From there, the strategy was to keep all potential paths open.

@simonw Utraedit to open, look, search, filter. This is likely old school, but I go straight to Matlab for anything that the machine's RAM can hold.

If someone gives you a CSV file with 100,000 rows in it, what tools do you use to start exploring and understanding that data?

@DrHydrogeofizz I have great interest. Finding optimal crop growth solutions is a major thrust of my research at Oregon State University.

@ChadHigginsOSU I spoke with Jordan Macknick at NREL a little about this. Is there any interest in subsurface information that could be used to optimize crop growth and soil function?

Agrivoltaics, the productive co-location of agricultural and renewable solar energy production, is inevitable and imminent. A 🧵 1/13

Breaking news: construction of the agrivoltaic research facility will begin in earnest on Monday! A crew is up there now making preparations. 7.5 years of pushing and fundraising, many highs and lows along the way, we are almost there.
