Saving the banana? A genetically modified Cavendish banana has been successfully grown in a field infected with the deadly Panama disease TR4—and it survived. This is a huge deal for global food security.

@mojo @Su_G The aspect of the genetically-modified food debate that few folks focus on is the most important one: a genetically-modified crop is intellectual property.

“QUT is already committed to providing non-exclusive licenses for the commercial exploitation of QCAV-4 in
Australia to a number of other industry groups. QUT will endeavor to make QCAV-4 available to other groups
through likely non-exclusive licenses to Australian banana micropropagation operations. It is likely that QUT will
receive a royalty stream from the commercial exploitation of QCAV-4.

QUT owns the intellectual property rights to QCAV-4.”

‘#GM and #Ford — not to mention #Apple… are rethinking their plans for self-driving cars. That leaves the future of the US #robotaxi market in the hands of just a few of the richest, most determined tech giants — and a handful of start-ups bold enough to challenge them.’ https://on.ft.com/44LLCTO

Ouch. #Trump #tariffs take a $1 billion bite out of #GM earnings

#GeneralMotors' second-quarter core profit fell 32% to $3 billion on Tuesday, as the automaker continued to confront challenging #tariff policies, which it said sapped $1.1 billion from the results.
