2 things...

Please - do take a look at our newly refurbished and relaunched GoFundMe campaign.  We're still very much in dire need of your help.



As some of you know, I spent most of March "on the road"; first stop the Cornell Dept. of Horticulture; where the grad students had invited me to talk.  Since I had several dozen other reasons I needed to be visiting in the area, I decided to drive...  That's always risky in the NE in March, but we now have as our main car a Subaru Forester; full-time 4WD.  Not a guarantee of anything; but- a much better safety margin.

Cornell video taped my talk, on March 9, and here it is.  Keep in mind- my audience here was pretty much - plant scientists.  So the talk is about plant science.  We'd intended to do another talk the next evening; so- we got 18-24" of snow in Ithaca, and not only the city, but Cornell- and the restaurants - shut down.   The talk has several parts - unrelated to each other; I do recommend watching it all.  Quite a bit of this is "original work" - being published here in video.
