Decision Support System for Agrotechnology Transfer: DSSAT 2017 International
Training Program
15-20 May - University of Georgia Campus in GRIFFIN, Georgia, USA
The DSSAT Foundation, in collaboration
with the University of Florida, the International Fertilizer Development
Center, and various other institutions, will host an International Training
Program on DSSAT entitled DSSAT 2017 - "Assessing Crop Production,
Nutrient Management, Climatic Risk and Environmental Sustainability with
Simulation Models" from May 15 through May 20, 2017 at the University
of Georgia Campus in Griffin, Georgia, USA.
The overall goal of the workshop is to familiarize the workshop participants
with the Decision Support System for Agrotechnology Transfer (DSSAT) and
the Cropping System Model (CSM) for the simulation of crop growth and yield,
soil and plant water, nutrient, and carbon dynamics, and the application
of models to real world problems, such as crop and resource management,
climate change and climate variability, carbon sequestration, food security,
biofuels, and environmental sustainability.
For further information, please visit the
DSSAT Foundation web site at www.dssat.net or the workshop registration web site at www.ugagriffincontinuinged.com/professional-courses/dssat-registration.

Ball point pens (a well-known hoax but funny)
When NASA started sending astronauts into space they quickly discovered
that ball-point would not work in zero gravity.
To combat this problem, Congress approved a program and NASA scientists
spent a decade and over $165 million developing a pen that writes in zero
gravity, upside down, on almost any surface and at temperatures ranging
from below freezing to over 300 C.
The Russians used a pencil...
