@pcronald @WolfPrize_ Wonderful. Congrats Pam!

@WolfPrize_ I was thrilled to share the news with my parents. I like to imagine that my grandfather Kurt Rosenthal & father Robert met Ricardo Wolf in Cuba. My family fled Berlin for Paris in 1933 then were granted visas to Cuba, where they lived from 1941-1946 before emigrating to the US.

Congratulations to the 2022 #WolfPrize laureate in Agriculture, Professor Pamela C. Ronald, for pioneering work on disease resistance and environmental stress tolerance in rice.

@WolfPrize_ So wonderful
