Looking forward to attending the Force Science conference with @karlrehn in September in Round Rock TX. events.forcescience.com/force-science-… Thanks to the Sydney and J.L. Huffines Institute for Sports Medicine and Human Performance at Texas A&M University for supporting the work. x.com/HuffinesSMHP

Repping @iha_tamu today @CattleCon. Lots of conversation about nutrient dense protein. #CattleCon2026

Heritable Genetic Modification in Food Animals: New Report nationalacademies.org/news/2025/04/h… via @theNASEM

Say a farmer went to Silicon Valley and claimed he could transform gaming? He'd be a laughing stock But tech and finance elites routinely think they can transform agriculture. As if farmers don't know anything. 😐 Ellison has had "little success on Lanai" wsj.com/tech/larry-ell…

@WindTunnelGuy Looks a lot like 3 that flew low over the AZone on Saturday.

1st 2 pairs of Super Stallions leaving KCLL headed for San Diego. #5 just took off and 3 more sitting on the west ramp.

The vilification of #livestock & animal foods must stop. Together with 44 other senior scientists, we're launching the #DenverCallForAction - a call for 1⃣ Nourishment-oriented policy 2⃣ Recognition of system complexities 3⃣ High standards of evidence 🧵 please RT & amplify 🙏

@StephenMaren @BeckmanIllinois @UofIllinois @PsychIllinois Congrats Steve! Happy for your opportunity, but certainly a loss for us!

After a positive vote from the Board, I am now *officially* the Director of the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology ⁦@BeckmanIllinois⁩! So amazing to be back at my alma mater!! ⁦@UofIllinois⁩ ⁦@PsychIllinois⁩ 🧡💙

@antonioregalado quick question - was the reference to gene "slicing" in your article the intended word?

Weird development in the big CRISPR patent fight. Lawyers represting Nobel laureates Doudna and Charpentier just disavowed their two main patents in Europe. technologyreview.com/2024/09/25/110…

On National Agriculture Day, Commissioner Miller would like to highlight the impact that Texas agriculture has across the nation #TexasAgricultureMatters #NationalAgricultureDay

Exciting discussions ahead @theNASEM workshop on heritable genetic modifications in food animals! Explore the latest in science, potential health risks, and future traits to be pursued. Join us 2/27: events.nationalacademies.org/41706_02-2024_…

@kevinfolta @Avis Have not had great @avis experiences lately. Disappointing because I loved budget for personal travel. @hertz has been a bright spot for great customer service in past year.

While not a big fan of twitter shaming, it is a good precautionary note for everyone that if you have a prepaid reservation with @avis they may tell you, "No cars, too bad, pound sand." When asked what they can do for me, #CustomerService service hung up. 1/2

What is #mRNA, anyway? * asking for a friend after seeing that mRNA researchers won the #NobelPrize for medicine ** answered by a researcher at @TAMU bit.ly/45e5ADA

@StephenMaren Ugh

Great to see this collection of articles out. Fun to be the lead batter in the game against misinformation with article 1! #book__details" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">press.jhu.edu/books/title/33… #mRNA

@RestoreHsVT @RestoreHsVT Thank you so much for doing this

LCPL Terry Pete Redic from Anderson, IN was killed on Hill 488 (Howard's Hill) on 6/16/1966. Buried at Anderson Memorial Cemetery, GPS (40.046239, -85.723769). Headstone cleaned 5/12/2023. (2 of 5)

The next one I cleaned is unreal. Company size engagement on the well documented and brutal fight on Hill 488 (Howard's Hill). One company (~150) and one recon platoon (18). At the end of the battle: 1 Medal of Honor 4 Navy Crosses 13 Silver Stars 18 Purple Hearts (1 of 5)

Exciting start to International Livestock Congress at HLSR as ⁦Sarah Place @drsplace⁩ kicks off the discussion around ESG #ILC2023

The #DublinDeclaration gives "voice to the many [now 651] scientists around the world who research diligently, honestly & successfully in their various disciplines in order to achieve a balanced view of the future of animal agriculture"🐄🐖🐏 Read it here: dublin-declaration.org
