This double-bass video took 10 years of practice. Science is the same. You can’t gain expertise in an afternoon. Everyone has an opinion. But you wouldn’t take music advice from someone who’s never played a note. So why take science advice from someone who’s never studied it?

Everyone is allowed an opinion. But expertise is earned. You wouldn’t take music advice from someone who’s never touched an instrument. So why take science advice from someone who’s never studied it?

Farmers worldwide struggle with significant crop losses in fruits and vegetables due to nematodes. These pests penetrate the roots, reproduce, and cause root galling, depriving the plants of vital water and nutrients, resulting in poor growth and economic losses for farmers.
