Potatoes Infused With the Human Fat Gene and a Potato Photo Contest
It has been an unexpectedly big week for potatoes. There is a contest called The Potato Photographer Of The Year and the winners this year are some great photos.
Slightly more significantly for humanity, a team of scientists announced a non-obvious method for growing bigger potatoes: putting a human gene related to obesity and fat mass into plants to supersize their harvest. It sounds scary and unhealthy, and potentially game changing too if there is a way to supercharge harvests by growing vegetables bigger without additional land requirements.
