How do you harvest microgreens in #microgravity?

We tested this in parabolic flights aboard @GoZeroG aircraft:

Did you know that we can talk to on-orbit astronauts from @NASAKennedy?
This is the Experiment Monitoring Area, where scientists can monitor & guide astronauts on #ISS, as they perform their experiment.

My new colleagues @plantsinspace @trentmsmith are experts on this!
