Slow Heat

The pepper family, and the case for letting a priority take its time

A case-for-support brochure from the School of Emergent Priorities inviting partners and donors to back the pepper family as one of the Horizon Register's longest-watched emerging priorities. It presents three settings for the work --- the chemistry bench, the herbarium drawer and windowsill, and the School's long watch --- and rests its case on six published University studies cited by title and DOI.
