Imagine if the whole of the UK was submerged under water. Homes and belongings washed away. No clean water, toilets or food. Everything's gone. That's what's happening in #Pakistan right now. The IRC are there providing support. Donate: help.rescue-uk.org/dec-pakistan @decappeal

#RegenesisFact 7: A perennial rice variety developed by @NatureAsMeasure and Yunnan University is now on sale, fulfilling a dream scientists have pursued for a century. It has been harvested 6 times without resowing, with the same yields as annual rice. 🧵


It's been great working on this project over the last few years with @ADASGroup and thank you to the GI mapping team at @NaturalEngland for having me along!
