My naïve vision almost 50 years ago of @Uni_of_Essex becoming a world leader in photosynthesis research & development has been realized. I have been lucky enough to receive a few awards, but none is more special to me than the degree I received last week. bit.ly/47gud4S

Today (4/22), we’re commemorating the 50th anniversary of Earth Day and the discovery of #RubiscoOxygenase — the plant enzyme that feeds us all. Show us how you are celebrating #EarthDayAtHome with your plant babies! #ShelterInPlaceWithRubiscoOxygenase (yes, it rhymes!) 🌍💚🌱

Don't allow this movement to halt climate change to be hijacked by other social, political & economic movements that risk disenfranchising those we need to engage the most—we need to engage everyone from all walks of life & political persuasions across the globe. #climatestrike

1️⃣ In 2017, we published "Brazilian sugarcane ethanol as an expandable green alternative to crude oil use" in @NatureClimate at rdcu.be/bprah. 2️⃣ We received thoughtful feedback: rdcu.be/bpq8i. 3️⃣ Now read our response: rdcu.be/bpq9x.

We debunked a theory that some crops are susceptible to cold because they lack the space in their leaves needed to boost photosynthetic efficiency in low temperatures. #coldtolerance #photosynthesis
