Salmon, suicidal plants and a 1-in-1000 coincidence - solving beer’s dirty secret [new paper!] There’s an ingredient in beer that most breweries don’t like to talk about: pesticides. The hops and barley that make beer are vulnerable to pests and diseases.

Hey Bluesky!

My background's in #plantgenetics & #plantpathology but spend more time at a desk than the lab bench these days.

I wrote about a paper we just published on looking to save hops from disease (& keep pesticides out of beer)
