Invasion of killer worms in space! #Nematodes emerged, went through sand & invaded a new host.

Metrics for evaluating climate smart technologies in agriculture are broken. #Pesticides’ #carbon footprint is massively underestimated. We need better #metrics for #innovative #technologies. buff.ly/3wfFtQV

Last month, Pheronym and Dr. Fatma Kaplan were featured in @bizwomen about the advancements we are making in pheromone-based nematode research. Read the feature ➡️ ow.ly/cQPZ50QCMCp #nematode #pheromones #agtech #biotech @KaplanSchiller

We're throwing it back to our @Astronematode project! We can't believe it's already been a few years since we completed the project. Here's a snap from a long day at the lab processing AstroNematode experiments.

Scientific evidence indicates that #pesticides contribute significantly to #greenhouse gas #emissions while also making our #agricultural systems more vulnerable to the effects of #climate change. panna.org/resources/pesticid…

Climate change calls for existential change management. Building resilience and integrating mental health into business practices are key to navigating this complex domain.

It's #WorldPestDay. 🐛🐜 What better way to celebrate than by reading how #biotechnology startup @pheronym and our favorite @astronematode are "On the Hunt: Studying Insect-Killing Worms in Space."
#regenerativeagriculture #nematode
Details: ow.ly/ANJG50OGAUf
ALT Nematodes are loaded into sample tubes for Pheronym's investigation. The project seeks to test the effects of microgravity on the movement and infection behavior of beneficial nematodes, which are used to control agricultural insect pests.

We're throwing it back to our @astronematode project! 43 days before launch we spent some time looking at the flight configuration experiments, evaluating the integrity of the tubes and seals. Details 🚀 ow.ly/AkCE50Oq7qQ

Great pic of Dr. @KaplanSchiller at the Space Life Sciences Laboratory at the Kennedy Space Center, handing the @astronematode to Jacob Scoccimerra (@Nanoracks) to put it on the @SpaceX Dragon capsule CRS-19.

We are very excited about scaling up our manufacturing for #nematode #pheromones. @pheronym -ABPDU 2nd site visit, 300 L #fermenters to #scale up and more...Technology transfer takes a lot of time and effort.

I loved those days at the International Space Station in #microgravity. You can learn more about my journey @Nature_NPJ nature.com/articles/s41526-0…
Today we're looking back at this snapshot of Dr. Fatma Kaplan and Karl Cameron Schiller when they were getting ready to go to Kennedy Space Center to send @astronematode to the International Space Station! 🌱
