Food production is driving 30% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and transgressing the planetary boundaries, a new report warns. Although the world produces plenty of food calories for everyone, almost 3.7 billion people lack access to healthy diets, fair wages, or clean environments. The 2025 EAT-Lancet Commission’s analysis of global food systems has sparked conversations about how food choices affect health and the planet and outlines updated science-based targets to feed 9.6 billion people sustainably by 2050. It touts the benefits of the Planetary Health Diet (PHD), which encourages a plant-rich diet that, if globally adopted, can reportedly prevent up…

I’ve been testing products in the food space for over three years, which means I’m pretty familiar with the gear on the market. There are many items that I want, but few that I yearn for, such as the Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer.  It’s a big expense, but I just knew that this air fryer would (not to be dramatic) change my life. I drooled over the oven’s many included functions, which meant that I could get rid of two other appliances on my counter. Plus, faster weeknight meals and extra oven space for holiday prep? Say no more—I…

From short scripts to vast simulations of Earth’s climate, protein structures or even the cosmos, it is hard to imagine scientific research without software. Scientists use software code in myriad ways — to plan experiments; to record, organize, analyse, visualize and archive data; to control scientific instruments, and more.Why it’s worth making computational methods easy to useBut software evolves. Most open-source software used in research is refined both iteratively and collectively, and has no published ‘version of record’. Updates can target various versions and releases, meaning that each aspect of the software — the project as a whole, a specific…

Wheat is the most widely cultivated crop in the world; over 215 million hectares are grown annually. To meet the demands of a growing global population, plant breeders face the challenge of increasing wheat production by an estimated 60 percent within the next 40 years. Thanks to the International 10+ Wheat Genomes Project, the genomes of nine wheat cultivars have been recently sequenced and assembled to chromosome-level. Now, researchers have assembled a wheat pan-transcriptome with de novo annotation and differential expression analysis for these wheat cultivars across multiple tissues. By mapping this gene activity for the first time, researchers are…
