Washington Invasive Species Council@WAinvasives17 Jul 2023
Some sad news about the cost of biological invasions. Invasive species costs are equal in magnitude, if not more than natural disasters. This is an excellent example as to why we need everyone's help to be aware and report invasive species. More: bit.ly/3XYrlW7

We talk about the impacts of different production systems, but what about different systems of thinking? Read the latest from @agronomistag on how reductionist thinking can progress science and agriculture here: csanr.wsu.edu/benefits-of-a-…

I have been called a reductionist quite a few times. I never know how to respond. Am I a reductionist? If so, is that a bad thing? Why is there resistance to the approach? So I did some investigation.
