Rescuing Ancient Seeds from a War-Torn City (theatlantic.com)

I hadn't realized Aleppo is that old.

I'm glad to see an article about the city that doesn't focus on it being a major battleground of the civil war. With the current news coverage that is all you ever hear - destruction, crises, death. It's good to hear that there is another side to this city. (I honestly hadn't considered that there would be scientists working in Aleppo until I read about the seed bank withdrawal recently!)

Makes for a much more balanced and more personal view of this area of the world.
