“Extrapolating from the medical field, we know that the microbiome influences almost everything that we do, from the way we think, from what kind of food we eat, from our own responses towards a ...

Launched this winter, the Data-Driven Plant Science course bridges experimental biology with embedded sensing, bioinformatics, and machine learning.

Water deficit resistance in plants has long been a topic of interest for cultivating reliable crops. Some plants can alter their above-ground structure to lock in moisture, while others develop deep, ...

In a race against time, scientists are exploring new ways to restore natural systems. Alongside traditional methods such as planting trees, reducing pollution and reintroducing native species, a ...
