A development that could affect - in a positive way - the food supply for 1.4 billion of our fellow humans! Thrilling to see China modernize its regulatory framework to where the one in the US, and a number of other countries, already is.
In Brief: China publishes new guidelines for approving gene-edited crops developed using technologies such as CRISPR-Cas9 and intensifies its agricultural biotech cooperation with Brazil nature.com/articles/s41587-0… rdcu.be/cJE3l

Upon conclusion of your Ph.D., you may only consider academia vs industry. But there are many other options beyond the two. Here are just a few to consider. Today's tip invites you to use MyIDT to gather insights and maybe tune or refine your career path possibilities. #bbmb #isu

#MyPhD, What Next? No matter how far along you are in your Ph.D. training, the decision of staying in academia or adventuring into non-academic jobs may represent a source of stress for many. So, today we have a simple comparison between these two paths. Today's Tip is great.
