@Kev_Falk is accomplishing amazing things!

George Washington Carver faced adversity from birth. Born around 1864, he lost his father just before his birth, and soon after, he and his mother were kidnapped by slave traders. George was recovered, but tragically, his mother remained lost. As an infant, he was left an orphan. Despite his early frailty and illness, George's curiosity and work ethic shone through. At a young age, he began exploring nature, asking questions about the world around him. He started his formal education at ten, walking eight miles to a nearby school. To support himself, he took odd jobs and even lived in a barn. Eventually, he was adopted by a local family. His thirst for knowledge led him to earn a Master's Degree in agriculture from Iowa State University in 1896. He then became the Head of the Agricultural Department at the Tuskegee Institute in Alabama. George was not only a scientist but also an artist, studying piano and art. His scientific work revolutionized agriculture, especially with peanuts, sweet potatoes, and pecans. The acreage for peanut cultivation expanded from half a million to over four million acres between 1915 and 1918. After his passing in 1943, President Franklin D. Roosevelt hailed his achievements in agricultural chemistry and considered him an inspiring example to youth everywhere.

CIMMYT is deeply saddened by the passing of M.S. Swaminathan, the father of India's Green Revolution. M.S. Swaminathan saved countless lives from hunger along with CIMMYT founder, Norman Borlaug. Their lives demonstrate the power of partnership. rb.gy/sr9qc

We're thrilled to have showcased our groundbreaking AI research at NSF Hill Day! With @NSF and our partners, we're pushing the boundaries of science and technology! Stay tuned for exciting updates. @Soynomics

Thanks @iastate_cals for showcasing the story of Dryland Genetics and our team. We have been blessed with amazing levels of success since founding in 2013 and are excited to see the impact our proso millet varieties bring to farmers across the country. bit.ly/dryland-geneti…

IAS19C3 soybean variety from ⁦@Soynomics⁩ at ⁦@isuagronomy⁩ developed from support by ⁦@IowaSoybeans⁩ ⁦@UnitedSoy⁩ ⁦@USDA⁩ ⁦@iastate_cals⁩ . High yield and high protein variety that has shown good performance and uptake!

Dr. Sarkar is an outstanding researcher and a wonderful person! Heartiest congratulations!

@dsmuelle @IowaSoybeans This are very useful data for breeding efforts. Thanks for your collaboration!

Some differences are from maturity groups, but some are from resistance to SDS. Always good to see these differences when scouting variety trials late in the year. @drsinghak @IowaSoybeans

This is spot on 😀. All my friends who have observed this behavior, please know that it is SK influence!!

@dsmuelle Daren, I am so thankful for your friendship, support, and collaboration. You and your group helped us when we were setting up the program and it is appreciated!

I am proud to consider @drsinghak a friend and colleague. Cool to see him continue to get the recognition he deserves! Congrats! cals.iastate.edu/news/2023/sing…

@maize_canada Thank you so much! I am fortunate to have had amazing mentors such as you and Brian!

Congratulations Danny! ⁦@drsinghak⁩ Singh appointed to Sprague Professorship by Iowa State’s Department of Agronomy | College of Agriculture and Life Sciences cals.iastate.edu/news/2023/sing…
