Our discovery of self incompatibility in grasses declares why the grass family: wheat, rice, maize are equally diverse and basically make us feed the world. It took nearly 70 years to discover it but it’s done now #selfincompatibility #ibers doi.org/10.1093/molbev…

WHO comments on United States announcement of intent to withdraw The World Health Organization regrets the announcement that the United States of America intends to withdraw from the Organization. WHO plays a crucial role in protecting the health and security of the world’s people, including Americans, by addressing the root causes of disease, building stronger health systems, and detecting, preventing and responding to health emergencies, including disease outbreaks, often in dangerous places where others cannot go. The United States was a founding member of WHO in 1948 and has participated in shaping and governing WHO’s work ever since, alongside 193 other Member States, including through its active participation in the World Health Assembly and Executive Board. For over seven decades, WHO and the USA have saved countless lives and protected Americans and all people from health threats. Together, we ended smallpox, and together we have brought polio to the brink of eradication. American institutions have contributed to and benefited from membership in WHO. With the participation of the United States and other Member States, WHO has over the past 7 years implemented the largest set of reforms in its history, to transform our accountability, cost-effectiveness, and impact in countries. This work continues. We hope the United States will reconsider and we look forward to engaging in constructive dialogue to maintain the partnership between the USA and WHO, for the benefit of the health and well-being of millions of people around the globe.

Now Shrewsbury at home on Saturday!

Wow. A bishop just called out Trump and Vance to their faces at church. “The vast majority of immigrants are not criminals. May I ask you to have mercy, Mr. President, on those whose children fear their parents will be taken away.”

What an incredible Olympic Game. It’s been the same since Brendan Foster’s brave bronze in Montreal. I love the middle distance running! Here are my favourite photos of my second sport.

@IAdler6 @stewartwaine We invested a fair bit for apples and pears with really helpful ideas from Reading University and Peter Laws and the Marcher Apple Network I think we could do all manner of varieties if we had the time and there was a real need and demand…

@dannythoro @stewartwaine Do you run tests for other plants, for instance for tomatoes? for blackberries?

An apple with no DNA match when tested , I found this apple in an abandoned orchard and took dome scions , the original tree has since died , it was sent for testing as expected it to be something common but was quite the opposite

@stewartwaine @IAdler6 Yes I’m enjoying life!

@dannythoro @IAdler6 Good to hear from you Dan , hope your well :)

@stewartwaine @IAdler6 We are at least still doing DNA profiles at Aberystwyth University. I’m retired emeritus but my email is active and I use the services of our DNA super sequencing technician, at Aber, Caron Evans. It works well! Contact me if you are interested or need me to answer questions.

@IAdler6 Think Brogdale used too and also a company at a university in wales Aberystwyth

@SpatialityJones @JaneyTh @TheStrokeAssoc Thank you Martin! Hope all’s well at #StaffsUni
