Wageningen University & Research

Well, we are pulling from a really fascinating stack of sources for this deep dive.

First, we've got a deeply detailed long read from Wageningen University in the Netherlands.

Oh, excellent.

Yeah.

It does.

If the plant only changes the origin of the carbon, what is actually happening to the chemistry of the plastic itself? I mean, why doesn't it just act like a plant?

To answer that, we really have to lean on that research coming out of Wageningen University.

They did this incredible job of explaining the molecular reality of plastics without making it feel like a punishing chemistry lecture.

That's entirely separate, uh, from, uh, this project.

But in terms of what's connected to the kinship stuff, I have a, uh, Lucia, uh, Carvalho Nico, who's just, uh, about to start a permanent position at Wageningen University in the Netherlands.

Um, she was a PhD student of mine, graduated a few years ago.

And, uh, she and I are looking at working together on, you know, queer kinship.

Um, Um, Dr. You've been Zang's lab has done a good amount of lighting research as well as a Dr. Bruce Bubby at Utah state.

Um, there's also some cannabis lighting research coming from Wageningen university in the Netherlands.

Uh, Dr. Leo Marcellus, uh, he's better known for doing tomato research, but he has, uh, done some work on cannabis recently as well.

Um, I mean, there's a new grad as well.

He works for the Band Foundation, which supports conservation projects across southern Kenya and northern Tanzania, with a particular interest in protecting the region's threatened biodiversity.

He has spent many years working in the Maasai Mara on raptor research and conservation with the Kenya Bird of Prey Trust, and he's currently finishing his PhD at Wageningen University, focusing on the foraging ecology of marshall eagles.

He's also on the board of the Panglim Project, which is the organization Kuhn works with, and is on the advisory council of the Mountain Bonga Project, and he remains closely involved with the Kenya Bird of Prey Trust.

Khun Bechis studied wildlife management in the Netherlands, and since then has carried out extensive fieldwork in different remote regions in Africa.

Hello everyone, and I'm Maria Nizhnits, Principal Scientist of the James Hutton Institute and member of the UK Expert Committee on Forest Science.

I have a PhD in Environmental and Natural Resource Economics from the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, and a PhD in Social Sciences from Wageningen University in the Netherlands.

I also have a master of science degree in environmental policy and management from the Netherlands and degrees of an engineer and master of science in wood processing technology and furniture designing and construction from the Ukrainian National Forestry University.

I have worked at the James Hutton Institute in the UK since 2002.

There is a non-EU country that has massively increased its exports to the UK.

We, as BIC, had an economic report produced by Wageningen University in the Netherlands, and it shows that said country can produce shell eggs something like 25% cheaper than we can.

And for whole egg powder, it was something like about 27% cheaper.

I mean, there is no way that in a very price conscious sector and that being the food service sector and processing sector that uk producers are able to compete with that so therefore it is hugely attractive for people to go to go abroad and purchase their eggs
