A changing climate affects everyone, everywhere. This global challenge requires a global response. At #InnovationZero , USDA Chief Scientist Dr. Jacobs-Young joined leaders in the UK to discuss climate change, its impacts on human security & collaborative solutions. #USDAScience
Teaming with NASA, ARS is using satellites to monitor the Earth's water cycle. The data they are providing to farmers is vital for scheduling irrigation and assists in maintaining crop growth and development. loom.ly/L5IcUZM #FindYourPlaceInSpace #USDAScience
'Bottom line, we need data to make well-informed decisions.' Under Secretary for Research, Education, and Economics and Chief Scientist Dr. Chavonda Jacobs-Young #USDAScience
Did you know, ARS researchers are working with NASA to grow crops and food for space travel? Growing multiple species of plants in a controlled environment, they are working toward long-term production and sustainability. loom.ly/bvQeA8s #FindYourPlaceInSpace #USDAScience
Yesterday, National Coalition for Food & Ag Research hosted its annual meeting & fly-in. Special thanks to Dept. of Agriculture Deputy Under Secretary for Research, Education, & Economics Sanah Baig for providing an update on important REE/Dept. of AgricultureScience priorities.
Dr. Chavonda Jacobs-Young, the Undersecretary for Research, Education, and Economics (REE) and Chief Scientist at USDA Science, spoke to UF IFAS Solutions faculty and students today about the future of innovation in American agriculture and encouraged us to ponder this proverb…
Today was a good day! I had an opportunity to speak to postdoctoral fellows from the 2023 CAS Future Leaders of the American Chemical Society. I presented on The Role of Science in Government Policy Making. USDA Science #CASFutureLeaders #Scientist #Mentor
Thank you Cornell CALS for a great discussion this afternoon! Through Dept. of Agriculture’s Research, Education, and Economics mission area, Dept. of AgricultureScience is fostering the engagement and motivation of our country’s students in STEM to develop the next generation of scientists and researchers.
