Advances in plant breeding and indoor growing have led to produce that promises to be perfectly sweet.

Genomics has been crucial in COVID-19 response, driving research. But many poor countries lack access to the technology. First WHO Science Council report makes recommendations to address barriers.

A research team led by Rice University neuroengineers has created wireless technology to remotely activate specific brain circuits in fruit flies in under one second.

Genetically modified crops reportedly come with increasingly-high costs and few benefits, and as a result, many farmers are refusing to plant them.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has issued an urgent call to accelerate access to genomics, especially in resource-poor countries, in a report that examines technology gaps and opportunities.

These countries—unlike Cuba—have not been able to harness the commitment and ingenuity of wonderful people. These country’s children die with no doctor there to mourn them decades later.

Plant breeding, informed by genetic analysis, could be critical to the future of one of the world’s oldest crops.
