#maybe I am becoming angry crop people but god there’s this little group of ‘skeptical’ crop scientists who cite each other in circles

ALSO TRANSGENIC TRIALS ARE JUST LIKE THAT SOMETIMES MAN PLEASE SHUT UP
#ITS A SMALL SAMPLE SIZE BUT ITS A PRELIMINARY STUDY#AND YOU K N O W HOW HARD TRANSFORMATION CAN BE DUDE#also is that not the POINT it’s a GOOD THING to publish early results so other people can see it and work on it too#you don’t just GET the fancy fucking trials you want without getting people interested first#maybe I am becoming angry crop people but god there’s this little group of ‘skeptical’ crop scientists who cite each other in circles#and are so pessimistic abt everything like yeah no dude nobody’s claiming to have Solved Crops Forever but doing a thing and publishing it#even if it’s not perfect. is the only way we get anything done around here#they have a point abt lack of standardisation but there’s inconsistent yield measures#and then there’s criticising early trials for not being identical to farming conditions. the basic science has to be done first#in an ideal world we get it all done in one go but that’s not possible most of the time shut your hell mouth#it’s possible I also don’t know what the fuck im on about! I probably haven’t read enough to be qualified to have this rant#but goddamn I’ve spent the past two weeks immersed in it and it’s getting frustrating#luke.txt#crops are cool good luck to the molecular plant science people I could never be you
