I absolutely love persimmons, though the ones I have had in Japan are always much better than the ones you can buy in supermarkets in the UK.

Plant Biologists- I could use a little help. I have a manuscript I'm handling about graft transmissibility of miRNA to control a pathogen. Hard to find reviewers, and those I found have not delivered. I'm sad for the authors. If you can review fast, send a note. @aspbofficial.bsky.social

When a @springernature.com asks me for a review, it's turned around within days/weeks. When I submit a paper, it sits without going to reviewers since May 26. Communication sucks. I don't need another paper, my students do. When do I just withdraw? I'll never review for them again. Join me.
Some really good thoughts in here. I completely echo Kevin’s concerns about food access and how certain claims affect people’s mindsets. Thank you @kevinfolta.bsky.social for this thoughtful conversation

And yet, MAHA doctors claimed that putting Kennedy in power was the “only way” to save vaccines. And medical leaders praised them!
MAHA Doctors Promised Kennedy Would be the Savior of Vaccines. What Happened Next?
It was a mistake to treat bad faith political actors as wise medical sages. Children are paying the price today.

Elizabeth Jacobs, PhD@elizabethjacobs.bsky.social · 3mo agoRFK Jr. in his official capacity as HHS Secretary has twice attempted to interfere with scientific journals about vaccine-related papers. One paper showed vaccines are safe and he wants it retracted. The other allegedly showed that vaccines cause autism and he doesn’t want it retracted.
