#Repost @thenewyorkgrowerscup ・・・ Happy New Year everyone! We're back at in 2023: Our first event of the year features some of New York's best growers and their incredible work! On Saturday, January 28th @worknroll.nyc in Midtown Manhattan, we're holding the first New York Grower Showcase from 3PM to 7PM, presented by @higher.empire! The inaugural New York Grower Showcase features three of New York's best: @thekolektor, @semperfr0sty, and @homegrowli!  Like the New York Growers Cup, the New York Grower Showcase is an all-inclusive event. Your ticket comes with access to samples from *each* of our featured guests, as well as a killer lineup of food and refreshments from @so_lah_tea, @manny_infused_chef, and @pwtreats! The idea is to hold this event quarterly, and to directly connect New Yorkers with New York growers in a space that allows for comfortable seshing. You should know where your flower comes from, and you should have an opportunity to talk to growers directly. With that in mind, we hope you'll join us for the first New York Grower Showcase on January 28th! If you've got any questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch via DM.  Tickets available now through the link on our profile! #NYGrown #NewYork #NYGS #NYGC (at London, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnTT7hTsYwR/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Jim Watson and "Epigenetics People"

In October there was a scientific symposium marking the opening of the New York Genome Center (NYGC). A featured event was a discussion between Bob Darnell, president of the NYGC, and Jim Watson.

No prizes for guessing that Dr. Watson was at his curmudgeonly best, dismissing sacred cows at a machine-gun pace. In response to a question from Bob Darnell about the interaction of the environment with the genome, Watson was momentarily reflective. “I used to be an environmentalist” he said, before regathering momentum “until I realised that they hated DNA.”

Then came the quote of the day “Environmentalists? They’re even worse than those epigenetics people.”

Cue big laugh from audience, frantic tweeting activity around the room, and the few epigenetics researchers like myself reacting as if to a solid thump in the guts.

Mond you, he also dismissed Harvard, medical schools in general and the NIH, so our field is in excellent company.
