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

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...
