Genome editing could improve animal welfare. After you read our #IGISpeakerSpotlight on @biobeef, check out @hoperhenderson's deeper dive into the efforts to genetically dehorn dairy cattle. Got Milk? A Kinder Cup, Through Genome Editing 🥛 https://t.co/1GhN40gD0L

"I hope at some stage, the First World stops dictating to the rest of the world how they’re allowed to do agriculture." Read our #IGISpeakerSpotlight on @BioBeef from @ucdavis to get her perspective on livestock #GenomeEditing and regulatory hurdles: https://t.co/MyTyGDVWLL

🎶 It's the final countdown... Just one week left to submit your application to our SKCF Faculty Scholars Program! https://t.co/pnOOUkrmzJ

Today in @sciencemagazine, we publish DISCOVER-seq: a powerful, unbiased #CRISPR off-target detection method that works by pulling down a DNA repair protein that "marks the spot" of Cas9 breaks. Our story: https://t.co/9Y0rQEvblo Full paper: https://t.co/GgHx7qmfRG

We are delighted to announce that Professor Brian Staskawicz, IGI Scientific Director of Agriculture, has been elected as a Foreign Member of the @royalsociety in honor of his exceptional contribution to science! @UCBerkeley The Royal Society @royalsociety“It is our Fellowship that has remained a constant thread and the substance from which our purpose has been realised: to use science for the benefit of humanity. “ Venki Ramakrishnan PRS Meet our new Fellows https://t.co/i1Wg5BoyoZ #RSFellows https://t.co/1PLBivQ5vS

“...my hope is that the technologies that I help to develop really enable much more innovation within regulatory and public acceptance.” Read our #IGISpeakerSpotlight on @shstrauss from @OregonState and hear how he is working to change the GMO narrative: https://t.co/jjqA6vLkMe
